Bottlefeeders: How many oz do you end up wasting a day?

Question

Because your baby just doesn't feel like taking the whole bottle every time.

Maybe 1-4 oz for me.

Answer

I don't typically waste any. If your child isn't taking their whole bottle then don't feed them as much.

Answer

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I breastfeed so I really don't know, can you not just put the formula in the fridge for the next day? When I pump and have leftover I just keep it in the fridge. Obviously not for a week, but maybe 24 hours.

Answer

I've been wasting 5-7 oz a day. My LO must be teething bc she's not finishing bottles. But I've started supplementing and I'd rather waste formula than breastmilk which is mostly what I'm pitching.

Answer

Quite a lot at the last few days, we're having a really warm spell and it's affecting his eating, he usually has 6-7ozs but some times he's only taking 2-3ozs but there's no pattern to it :(

Answer

My 12-week-old son is very unpredictable. He typically wants 4 oz, but a few times a day, he'll only take 2-3, so I probably waste @ 5 oz a day. 😥
