for those of you taht work or pump - how many bottles does your LO have during the day and how many ounces? when I go back to work after summer break.. I think she will only need one bottle becuase I will feed her in the morning and at 3:30. She will also get two feedings of baby food.

I have the same schedule as you, being able to feed in the morning then again at 3:30/4pm. My son nurses at 5am, 8:30am, 4pm and 7pm. He gets 4 oz of BM in a sippy cup midday along with 2 servings of solids. I had him getting more BM during the day but he was nursing less so we cut back. This plan has worked out really great for us so far.

Thanks! makes me feel so much better. I am lookign at her schedule when I go back to work (she will be 9 months) and there is just no way to fit into two bottles plus 2 solid meals and have her be hungry when I see her at 3:30. Plus she sleeps about 3 or 4 hours during the day.

Oh, I'm jealous of all that day sleep! My son is a crummy napper. I agree, I think you would have a tough time trying to squeeze more milk in. That's great she'll only miss one feeding from you!
