How much milk?? Question for pumping moms or BF moms

Kebert618 · May 2014

So my DH and I are both going away for a long weekend for Bachelore/Bachelorette parties and my MIL will be watching Layla. I still BF so I'm not sure how much milk shes getting. I'm planning on leaving about 27 oz milk per day...plus she eats 3 meals a day. Does that sound like enough or too much??

Edit- okay found a similar discussion from a few weeks ago...but still feel free to comment.

That sounds like enough. Maybe some frozen bags if you can swing it just in case.

If I had to ballpark it, I'd say the babies drink 25ish oz per day (5x at 4-5oz per) so that sounds about right to me.

Thanks ladies! I'll make sure to pump some extra before then!

That sounds good. My LO has dropped his milk intake as he's eating more solids now. Doc said anywhere between 20-24oz is within a normal range (down from 30oz).
