Breastfeeding but going out

I’m currently just breastfeeding my little girl(7 months) I’m going out on Saturday for a meal and wanted to have a few drinks I’m going to pump but i can’t really get much take me 24 hour to even get 4 oz. Am thinking about just getting formula in but unsure which one she can have and which one to pick don’t what it upsetting her stomach.

When I was ebf and left him for the night I pumped what I could and he had bottles that were half and half breast milk and kendamil and he had no tummy upset or anything xx

We used Hipp Organic in a similar situation and had no issues.

How old is your little one? For breast fed babies you only need around 100ml per feed. Making sure you get the person feeding them to pace feed as they will guzzle more. I tend to pump first thing for around 30-40 mins and get anywhere between 50-100ml and I do breast compressions as well. It lasts 6 days in the fridge so I just pump the week before I’m off out ☺️

@Chloe i would 100% disagree with this blanket statement because they feed at the breast for different reasons and for different lengths of time depending on that reason. Few babies drink from a bottle.. for comfort if they are ebf. My baby drinks like 150ml and has done for several months.. But when breastfed 100% does not drink that amount. Maybe like 80ml because of how she eats and guzzles and length of time this is my guess. But if i had to leave her and i left that amount.. then she would get hungry because the sole purpose for taking a bottle at all is only to quench the hunger. If i go anywhere i haveee to leave atleast 150ml no way would she settle with 100ml she would be like urm wheres the rest Dad 😒 even pace fed she would just cry because she isnt full. At the breast i know she knows they are there if i fancy more i can come back. If i did bottles all day she would eat fewer times but more at once 100%

So i would advise the formula and breast mixed option Because ur not there.. if they do get hungry what will the person whose there do..

@Kady totally agree with you! My breast fed baby is the exact same!

Thank you all for the help
