  We breastfed also and the only bottle DD gets is her bedtime bottle which is 4 oz. She is still eating every 2-2.5 hours and that happens about 8-10 times per day. I was tempted to up her bedtime bottle to 5 oz but she's content and goes to sleep for a good 6-7 hours so we will stick with her 4 oz bottle.

  We FF, and she eats 6 oz bottles about every 3 hours during the day. It usually ends up being 5 bottles per day.

  My guy only eats 4oz BM every 3 hours at the sitters. My sitter keeps saying she thinks he needs more but doesn't cry when it is gone. Maybe I should start doing 5oz?

  DD eats every 2 hours day and night. No idea how much since I breastfeed and she never had a bottle.

  DD is EBF. She eats from one boob every 2.5 hours ish a day. She goes to bed at 7 and eats about 4:30 and then is up about 7. At daycare she eats about 4 oz of breast milk each feeding.

  Pretty similar to others... DD nurses at 7am then a 6-7oz bottle at 10, 1, and 4 at day care. She then nurses another 1-2x before bed at 7-7:30ish. She nurses 1-2x at night.

  DD nurses about 7-8 times a day from her wake up at 7:30 till right before her bath around 8pm. Then she gets a 4oz bottle for bedtime around 9. I'm guessing that a lot of her daytime feedings are smaller, maybe 3oz. I still feed on demand and plan to continue.

  He stopped breastfeeding a few weeks ago. Refused it!
  
  
  He just went up to 7oz every 3hrs. He typically has cereal in every bottle for reflux, but I'm weaning him off of that since he has cereal now morning and afternoon. So I bumped him from 6 to 7 because he isn't as full without cereal in it.

  I breastfeed during the weekend. For daycare, she gets bottled BM - 4 five oz bottles. I nurse her 1x in the AM and 1x before bed.

  FF and he does about 5-6 oz every three hours. We were at about 28-30 but now he's eating food twice a day so I think we are about 22-25 give or take a few.

  EBF here; DD refuses bottles. She eats an average of 8x/day, and she never goes more than 2 hrs between feedings. It's exhausting. DS was FF and it was so much easier.

  EBF. 4, 4oz bottles at daycare every three hrs, sometimes only 3 bottles depending on how long she is there. I pump 15-18 oz while I'm away from her at work. She nurses once more before bed and then is up 2-3x per night to nurse.

  DD is almost 6 months, breastfed and usually nurses every 2-3 hours and takes 2- 4oz bottles and a 3 oz bottle (so she will nurse when we get home) at daycare. She is there 8 hours.
