away for 24 hrs--how much to feed
« on: November 10, 2005, 15:50:08 pm »
hi all!
DH and I are having a night to ourselves this weekend (yea!) and MIL is watching the kids. Monica has taken a bottle a bunch of times and I think she will be fine. I have some expressed milk and she has also taken formula if there is not enough ebm.
Right now I feed her 6 times (8am, 11:30, 2:30, 5:30, 7:30, 9:30) a day.

When she is taking bottles should she continue to follow that schedule?
And how much should be in each bottle? I'd imagine that the evening feeds would be smaller since we are cluster feeding.
I guess to be safe I could leave 4-5oz for each feed? Is that enough?
thanks!
Bea

How old is she?

I think 4-6 oz sounds about right but I want to make sure on the age.
