Milk does your 4-5 month old drink? I am breastfeeding, Sophie has only had a bottle 3 times when necessary because I worked really late. However now that she is older I don't know how much she is drinking. We have a wedding we are going to later in the month, Sophie is staying with a friend. Need to know how much milk I should provide.

    My DD ate 25 oz daily at 4 months and has only eaten 28 at the most daily. I work 2 16 hour shifts a week. She just turned a year and still only eats 28oz at the most daily.

    Ok awsome, I think I will be plenty prepared then. I currently have 35 oz frozen. How much did she eat at each sitting so I know how much to tell her to put in the bottle.

    @captivated Do you have any suggestions?

    At 4-5 months, she had 4oz bottles at the sitters while I worked. I tell my sitter (her Gma) even now, if she doesn't finish it, saved it for next time she wants it.. although now she is 11+ mo and I do 5oz bottles w food first.

    Anyway, I'm just rambling. Lol

    4 oz each feeding, that way none is wasted, and she could always give her more.

    My baby had about 25 oz daily, she typically had 5 5oz bottle/day. She had a bottle like every 3 hours roughly from 7am-7pm. Nothing overnight.

    @caroline8_p Awsome thanks. Just want to make sure I have plenty of milk for her.
    @baileygoose Thanks, my daughter seems to have the same schedule. Every 3 hours or so. She sleeps thru the night :)

    @Lacey809 Thanks :)
