CJPowers

I start my first day of work tomorrow and DD will be going to day care. I EBF and I am pumping for tomorrow. I have 7.5 oz frozen and 4.5 oz fresh. How much milk do you think I need?  She usually eats at 7, 8:30, 10, 1, 4 and 7. Although she woke up the past two nights at 4:30 am too. She weighs 16 lbs.

How many feeds will you miss?  6-7/day..25/6=4.11.  I'd send a 4 oz bottle for each feed you'll miss. Bf babies eat an avg of 25 oz/day.  I send 3 oz bottles but my baby eats more often.

Probably missing 2-3 feedings. So I will send three 4 oz bottles. And maybe a little extra. I better get pumpin
