Pumping breastmilk

I just pumped for however long my baby would usually feed and then give them that amount which usually came out to around 1.5 to 2.5 ml

Usually around this time they’re taking around 2 ounces.

Oh yes I meant ounces 💀

Every baby is different. The baby will let you know when he’s done eating. Some will need more than others. Every mom’s milk is different too, bigger moms have more fat on their body and their milk has higher calories than a skinny mom. So just go by your baby queues. Your baby will lose weight at the beginning and regain it back so don’t worry, that’s normal.

It will vary per feeding and time of day on when you feed your son. Just follow his cues and he will tell you if he’s still hungry or full. And it will change as he gets older too.

My daughter had around 60ml (2 ounces) at that age. But the bottle I had would have around 100ml in it, in case she wanted more.

The guidance is 150ml to every 1kg they weigh.

this only applies to formula

A bottle of breastmilk shouldn't exceed 4oz and it should be pace fed

yes it does. A breastfed baby shouldn't exceed 4oz of expressed milk. And always the smallest flow teat (0 or 1)

well apparently you want to expand babies little tummies. So yes.

I’m interested why you think a bottle fed baby shouldn’t have anymore than 4oz of breastmilk? Isn’t this specifically for pace feeding?
What about when baby gets older and will naturally up their milk intake?
Sorry if I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying.

that's what you're told from the breastfeeding network. Bottle feeding (specifically from breastmilk) should be pace fed. Breast milk adapts to the babies needs so amount shouldn't need to change. If pace feeding is followed babys intake shouldn't need to increase. Pace feeding prevents overfeeding little ones tiny tummies

is it? Are you sure that isn’t for younger babies? Newborns? I’ve never heard that advice for babies older than newborns.

just to clarify, I am talking about when a baby gets older and increases their milk intake and drops the number of bottles they are having.

At 8 months (for example) my daughter was on 3 bottles a day - she would have 6oz in each bottle which was already on the lower end of the recommended milk intake - I believe its around 30oz per day at that age.

Im not sure how anyone would manage giving their child 30oz per day on 4oz bottles.

that is the advise from the breastfeeding network. Amount shouldn't need to increase as the fat content in breastmilk adapts/increases. As the photo comment I posted says, no need to increase as baby gets older.
Plus at 8 months, baby is having bits of food alongside milk

the amount of milk definitely increases as baby gets older, regardless of fat content in the milk. The source you’ve posted is an American source so perhaps it’s different advise to the UK.

Milk is the main source of nutrition until 1 year of age, so the guidance is around 30oz a day.

yeah ok 👍🏼
