How often does your 8/9mo old have milk?

Question

How often do you nurse or give your LO a bottle and how many oz each time? My little girl is 8mo and 20lb 9oz. She nurses about every 3-4 hours (bottles at daycare). If she has a bottle it's usually 6-7oz. How much and how often does your little one eat? I want to start spreading out her feedings but I want to make sure she's getting enough milk too. She also eats baby/table food three times a day.

Answer

My 8.5mo old (9mo on 11.02.16), nurses at 5 & 7am, gets her first daycare bottle at 9am (7oz) and drinks a 7oz bottle every 2-3hrs until I pick her up at 5pm; she then nurses at 7 and again at 8 for bedtime. She nurses through the night too but honestly I'm not sure how much/often bc we bedshare. She's 20lbs, no solids or supplements-all chichi milk 😎

Answer

My 8 month old nurses on demand. The times change everyday. She isn't all that interested in food yet. Gets a little bit once or twice a day. Generally she nurses every 2-3 hours. But the other day she went a shocking 5 hours. And sometimes it's a whopping 45 minutes. She also nurses through the night. Some nights it's 1-2 times.  Some nights it's more like 6 (last night). I'm currently not working. But the last 2 times I had to be away from her she refused bottles and just ate a little food till I got back to nurse her.

Answer

My daughter has had tummy problems since birth but she is still drinking 4 oz every 2 hours as she has for months now and no matter what she will not drink more.

Answer

My 8 month old nurses or takes a 4 Oz bottle every 3-4 hours. She has baby and table food 4 times a day. Some nights she sleeps well some nights we bedshare and she nurses even 2-3hours. Depends on her needs that day.

Answer

From what I've read 5oz is about the biggest you want to give with breast milk

Answer

6-7oz of breast milk sounds like a lot...my LO nurses 1-4 times a night and about 6 times or more during the day. When I'm at work I give her a 4-4.5oz bottle of breast milk. I don't produce anymore then that at a time with my pump. And we've done a before and after weigh when she nurses and I got about 5oz into her by nursing. She is also eating 3 solid meals a day AFTER she nurses or bottle feeds when I'm away.  She weighs between 16-17lbs

Answer

I've heard 6-8 oz every 4 hours is pretty normal for both Breast milk and formula, so it sounds like she's getting the perfect amount !

Answer

Bottles of formula or breast milk?

Answer

Every 4 hours, she gets 8 oz. during the day. She eats solids 2-3 times a day too an hour or so after bottles.
