how many bottles/nursing sessions?

Griffin is down to 3 bottles a day now. He was at 4 about a month ago but has recently dropped one. Usually 8 oz when he wakes up, 6 oz early afternoon, and 8 oz at bedtime. How many bottles/nursing sessions does your lo have now?

Re: how many bottles/nursing sessions?

  • During the week he gets 2-3 nursing sessions and 3 bottles.  Bottles are about 3-4 oz and I imagine the nursing sessions the same.  Probably near the end of the day more like 2 oz. 

    On the weekends he nurses probably about 5-6 times a day besides eating 2-3 meals.  He's a boobie monster (total comfort nurser) and won't give that up no matter how much he ate.

  • Four bottles of EBM, each 4oz.

    I think we'll end up dropping one because he isn't really hungry for table food in between bottles and I'm trying to get him more used to it.

  • 5-6 but I bet he only gets fur or five ounces per session so I think we're at about the same number of oz.

    Then and now. How did my boy get so big? 

  • DS is so inconsistent, but now that it's hot as Hades here, I offer more often, since BM is his only drink most days.  I'd say we are at 4 quick sessions a day with 3-4 substantial nursings a day.

    this. My daughter during the day - 2-3X she nurses and at night she loves to be on the boob.

  • We are nursing five to six times per day and have started adding a four oz bottle of BM before our last nursing session. But I am really trying to get him to gain some weight. He also eats 3 solid meals and one or two snacks every day.

    Sam gets 4 bottles a day 67oz each.nbsp;


    This exactly including the name!
  • DD usually nurses in the morning and at bedtime and gets 3 bottles at daycare. On the weekend she nurses 5 times a day.
    ETA: bottles are 5 oz .
  • 4 nursing sessions... when she gets up in the morning, before her only nap, after her nap, and before bed. I'm not sure where we'll go from here. Maybe drop the postnap feeding next? I wish she would get the hang of sippy cups already!
