EBF weekend away pumping question

in April 2014 Moms
DH and I might try to swing going out of town in September for two nights for a wedding. How much milk do you think I would need to leave? I'm thinking 80-100 oz. we did a similar trip when DS1 was about 8 months and I think that's what I left. I stay home so I only usually pump for the odd night out (which hasn't happened yet). This is all assuming DS will take a bottle, I haven't had anyone try yet! Anyway, how much would you leave per 24 hour period? Thanks!

    Kellymom says 25 oz/day is average and that it can range from 19-30

    They say 1.5oz per hour. I think you should have plenty stashed away by September. I'd err on the side of more rather than less (spilled feedings, waste, ect).

    Yep, I would assume 30 ounces a day also, and have maybe an extra day of milk just in case. It's worth trying a few bottles now to experiment with how much he'll take per feeding, what kind of bottle, etc.
