how much milk to send to daycare?

Question

I have a 12 week old daughter and will be going back to work on Monday (😭😭😭) I've been breastfeeding and pumping, but since I almost exclusively BF my baby I have no idea how much she eats each session. I have 3oz baggies of milk, at 3 months should they be eating more than 3oz each bottle? Or is that average? How many bags of milk should I send?

Answer

My 9 week old does 4oz every 2-4 hours. I would try giving her bottles a few days before to make sure she takes bottles well. My daycare wants me to have bottles made already so I was planning to send her with 4 bottles of 4oz each day, just to be safe.

Answer

My son goes to a small day care and I send him with 3-4 ounce baggies and they feed him every 2 hours. He is 10 months. That way my supply can keep up when he's home as he is only in day care 3 times a week.
