How much BM do you send to DC for 3.5mo?

Mine is slowly warming up to bottles at DC, but she only eats 2 oz every 3 hrs or so, and it's taken us about 4 weeks to get there, so she eats a total of 6 oz during 8-hrs of DC (which is still a victory for me, considering where she was at before). When I calculate on kellymom, it says that she should be eating somewhere between 20-25 oz/day. She eats better at nights with me (she still wakes up 2-3x/night to eat). TIA.

    We have a nanny watch our DD while we are both at work.  The first few days she ate very little (maybe a total of 6 oz in the 8.5 hours I was gone) but after a few days she went up to 12-16 oz.  I leave 4 4oz bottles at home.  Some days she eats them all, other days there's some left over.  My DD is just about 3.5 months old.

    When Luke first started daycare at 12 weeks I was doing 3-4oz bottles.  It is now up to 5.5 or 6oz.

    He eats around 11 oz while I'm gone.  He nurses at least 4 times, usually 5, while I'm home.

    On the days he's away from me - depending on the timing of his first feeding of the day and those that follow.. he has 4-5 bottles of 5oz while away - so 20-25oz. He nurses once in the morning and once or twice at night. Fortunately for me that's only twice a week for me.. b/c it's hard to keep up!
