Hi ladies!

My mil is watching our LO Saturday. I'm going to make up some bottles for her to feed him. How many ounces does your little ones take at a feeding?

    General rule is an ounce per hour, but this can vary from baby to baby. Has your LO ever been given a bottle before? It can sometimes be difficult to get an EBF baby to take a bottle.

    Yes he has been taking a bottle a day since he was about 3 weeks. Just so he'd get used to taking one in cases where I needed to be away at times. I usually will give him 3-4 oz if I give him a bottle. I was just curious what other little ones were taking. Thanks :)

    My baby is 11 weeks old, too, so I am curious. When you say your babies take 3, 4 or 5 ounces are the feedings every 2-3 hours or do feedings every get spaced out (or closer together) once bottles are introduced at daycare?
