Pumping mamas help??

My baby drinks about 20-22 oz/day, but since you breastfeed your milk might be more fatty because it adapts to baby’s needs.

I exclusively pump and my baby consistently eats about that. Your estimate is probably spot on for your baby.

I believe if you needed to supplement with formula your baby would probably need more because formula can’t adapt at all so you have to give the baby more as they grow.

We supplemented with formula when my milk was slow to come in but I haven’t used any since she was about 3 weeks so I’m not sure how it would compare at this age now

Depends on their age? I do both, and he usually take 4 oz per feed every 3 hrs. He’s 3 mo

So far 3-4 oz per feed. She’s 3.5 months

Thank you so much ladies!!

I EBF but give a breastmilk bottle right before bed & in the middle of the night to make sure he gets a good feed because sometimes he’ll fall asleep nursing before he’s actually done. He’ll drink anywhere between 4-6oz, usually about 5oz at both those times. But during the day he’ll normally do 4oz every 2 hours.

My baby is almost 4 months and eats anywhere from 24-32 ounces in a day and is on breast milk only. It’s probably be best to give a bottle of 2 ounces and then just give an additional half ounce the first time to see at what point they are satisfied so as not to waste any milk

Exclusive pumping momma here, my 3 month old takes about 4oz per feeding every 2-3 hrs. Sometimes she may take an extra 1-2 oz as a “topper” lol. So some feedings she’ll take 5 or 6 oz

I exclusively pump and my daughter drinks about 28-30 ounces a day. She’s 16 weeks but has been drinking this amount for at least a month now.

She definitely came in on the high end around 30 ounces total y'all i had no idea I produced that much after underproducing for my first. Thank you for the input and peace of mind 🙏
