How much expressed milk?

Question

How much expressed milk is your 3month old drinking per day? Patrick gets somewhere between 25-30oz but isn't gaining weight steadily.

Answer

I still nurse more than bottle feed but I guestimate anywhere bwteen 20-25 oz a day... he eats more when he nurses vs the bottle, that is how I feel anyways because I spend half the time trying to "force him" to eat out of the bottle. When I nurse, he eats more frequently. The most he has taken in 1 bottle at a time is 4 oz, and that was ONE time only. Usually between 2.5-3 oz is just right. My little guy was still gaining weight, but going down in weight percentile but it was due to acid reflux. His next weigh in 2 weeks from now will give us a better idea of where he is at... but I have been super nervous about it.

Answer

My baby is doing 4oz every 3 hours or so.  At night when he goes to sleep and when he does his 2am feed I put him to breast and let him eat till he is done.  Since he started taking the breast at night he has really gained weight.  He started taking the breast at around 2 months, he wouldnt do it before that.
