How many

Milk bottles is LO taking nowadays? I've noticed quite a decrease in what DD takes due to eating solids 3 times/day. What about everyone else?

Well, DD is almost a year and still eats 4-5 bottles (somewhere between 4-6oz each time) along with 3 meals and a snack or two throughout the day.  I'm really not planning on stopping her cold turkey at a year like we did with ds.  She'd be up 20 times a night hungry if we did that.

I BF so I don't have a good handle on exact quantities, but I've found that LO is becoming less and less interested in her mid-morning milk feed, She'll have a quick slurp, more like she's just quenching her thirst, rather than a real feed.

So I feel like we've gone from 4 feeds to 3 1/2 in the last couple of weeks., plus 3 solid meals.

I breastfeed in the morning, she gets two 6oz bottles at daycare (usually only eats about 5oz), then depending on her needs sometimes I breastfeed when we get home at 6 and again before she goes to sleep at 7:30.

We're in the process of dropping one bottle at daycare because she hasn't been that interested in her last bottle.

I BF and pump for the nanny.  Recently my almost 10 month old has only been taking 1-2 bottles while I'm gone at work.  She's eating a LOT of solids though. 

I BF her in the morning around 5/6 am and I would guess she's getting 5-6 oz at least

Then nanny gives her a 5 oz bottle around 10/11 a.m.

Then sometimes another bottle in the afternoon if she wants it so another 5 oz.

Then I get home and nurse her a little (not much) so maybe 3 oz?

Then at night she does nurse a lot to sleep so maybe another 5 oz?

So if I had to guess she probably takes in 20 oz a day apx.  I'm thinking of dropping one pumping session at work because she's not as interested in the bottles during the day and I still BF her plenty at home, AND I have a lot of frozen milk.

Yep, definitely a decrease! Used to be 12-15 oz while I was at work, not it's 6-8 oz of breastmilk with 2 meals, 2-3 snacks, and as much water as she wants.
