6mo old - how much pumped milkper day?

[Nenibay]

I have a two day interview scheduled for a new job. I'm currently EBF so I have no idea how much DD drinks per day. I have about a month to pump and save milk. In wondering how much I should have to feel save leaving her. I've read 25-30oz per day?

Will you be gone for the day or day and night? It sounds like day and night, in which case, I would probably have at least 24 ounces/day.

The general rule of thumb is 1 to 1.5 oz per hour you'll be away. I would shoot for the high side since this is your first time away.

Does your lo take bottles?

Mine are almost 4 months old and eat 3 oz every 3 hours. They skip a feeding over night but usually have an extra oz before bed so about 22-23 oz a day.

Mine used to drink around 28 - 30 ounces at 6 months. I remember because she was outdrinking me and I only made 25 oz on a good day.

Yea, she takes a bottle better now. We had to work on it but she gets a few a week while run errands or what not.
