Hi moms! New the group!

Hello everyone I’m new to the group but my breastfeeding journey has been about 10 months already! From the beginning I was doing a mix of bottle feeding with formula only for the first 3 days until milk came in then from that I was bottle feeding with expressed milk + feeding then I stopped for about 2 months with pumping.. started again here and there she took bottles and now absolutely refuses. She will be going to daycare in about a week & a half, I’m nervous. One she doesn’t take bottles but I gave her some milk in a nuk Sippy cup and she drank it.(I was surprised) Now since she only breastfeeds idk how much do give her in a Sippy cup.. I’m also worried because I’m not sure how much milk I should be giving to the daycare. I just started to pump and freeze for now so that way I can have some the first few days and not stress out.. also since I just started to freeze my milk is this normal? I have attached picture.. only 1 bag looks like this

That’s totally normal separation that happens with freezing. That’s great that she takes your milk out of a cup. Typically babies take 2-5oz of breast milk every 2-4 hours. So I would offer at home to see how much she takes so you have an idea when she goes to daycare.

Hey moms, I have a 6 weeks old and he's breast milk bottle fed, however, I'm very concerned since every time I pumped I got same amount. I'm getting max 3 Oz and I'm worried while he's growing he's demand will be more, what do you think could happen? I'm pumping every three hours, I'm taking the supplements to increase the milk plus sometimes in the day I have him sucking from my breast, so my production doesn't increase

My baby was the same ( now 9 months) if she takes from a sippy cup, start by 2/3oz and up the intake gradually Mine switched to bottles now with a lot of work as he refuses bottles and rarely ever takes more than 5oz only before bedtime he takes 6oz Space out the feedings every two to three hours So mine takes one in the morning 7am - 4oz 12am 5oz 4pm 4oz 7pm 6oz One bottle or nursing during the night At the daycare he takes 6oz Don’t waste your breastmilk too much at the start, use 2/3oz then see if she wants more
