How many ounces of breast-milk did your baby max out at in a bottle?

Question

Also how old were they when they maxed out and how long did you successfully keep up with how much they were drinking? 
I’ve heard that they should have more than 4oz at a time so you don’t stretch their stomach but I’m wondering how many people actually were able to do that and if it was harder to keep up your supply if you gave more than 4oz.

Answer

She maxed out at 4.5oz. She started drinking this much at 5-6 months old. 
She was strictly breastfed until 15 months old. Never took more than 4.5oz at a time.

Answer

My son will only take 3-4 ounce bottles. The key is pace feeding them when you give a bottle and always pumping every time they get a bottle.

Answer

She was 3.5oz until six months then bumped up to 4oz. She takes way more from me than from the bottle, so while she was still ok with 3.5oz, I think she was at a calorie deficit at night and had more night feedings so I added the half oz and that fixed it.

Answer

At ten months my son was having six ounces a feeding

Answer

Definitely never more than 4. My pediatrician actually told us that 4 was too much for our baby. She told me 2-3. We started doing 3 and pace fed her. She surprisingly easily went from 4 Per feeding to 3 with no issue. Pace feeding is the key. And they told me to give her a binky after to sort of pacify her I til she realizes she’s full. It worked well for her.
