I’m leaving my EBF baby for the first time alone with my husband while I go out with a friend for a few hours and was wondering how much I should tell him to feed him. Since he’s exclusively breastfed I’m not sure how much he eats in a sitting and I don’t want milk to go to waste… baby is 6wks old and weighed 9.13 at his one month checkup if that makes a difference

Mine does 3-3.5oz. I suggest filling 2ish and he can top up if needed.
If he doesn’t drink it all, you can use it for his bath😊

My son is 2 weeks old, nearly 10 pounds and I pump for night time feeds, he drinks 4 ounces per measured feed, Id recommend maybe starting with having several 2 ounce bottles ready and seeing how hungry she is!

My baby is 5 weeks old and weighs 8lbs 5 oz. She will usually drink 3 to 4 oz per feeding. Maybe leave him with two 3oz bottles. Just make sure to feed your baby before you head out.

My baby is 3 weeks old 9.14 lbs and will eat anywhere from 3-5 oz a feed . I'd start with 2 then add another 2 oz unit baby is full .
