Pumping Mama's- need advice pls!

[LadyBug183]

I figured I'd post this here to get some more responses...


My question is: For those mommies out there exclusively pumping... How much does your LO drink? & at what age?

I've been pumping & bottle feeding for almost 4weeks now.
My LO goes 2-4hrs, and drinks anywhere from 2-4oz.

Sometimes she'll eat 2oz and then go 3hrs before eating 4oz...

No routine, rhyme or reason with this little girl; I just feed her what she wants and whenever she's hungry. Never let her go more than 4hrs though.

This is the 3rd tri board hun - you'd be better asking ladies whose babies have arrived. X

My little girl eats about 3 oz every 3-4 hrs

Thank u for ur response.
How old is your LO?

I'm a little worried; trying to make sure my LO is eating enough for her age..

There's no charts or ranges out there for feeding breastmilk, and I guess the amounts are totally different than formula. Any advice is greatly appreciated xx

I haven't had baby yet but have done research...i read that with breastfeeding, as long as shes gaining a healthy amount of weight when u go to ur doc appts, then ur feeding baby enough.
Also, i think if baby produces 4-6 wet diapers a day, thats a good sign too?

*How can I tell if my baby's eating enough?
New mothers, especially breastfeeding moms, are often concerned that their infants may not be getting enough to eat. You can be assured that your baby is getting enough to eat if he or she:

seems satisfied and content after eating
produces about four to six wet diapers a day
has regular bowel movements
sleeps well
is alert when awake
is gaining weight

Your baby may not be getting enough to eat if he or she:

does not appear to be satisfied after feeding
seems hungry often
isn't making several wet and soiled diapers a day
is fussy or cries a lot
isn't gaining weight



Maybe try this link, it has a calculator with it too.
