Back to work PT, how much EBM?

[BettyBum]

DS is 6 months and BF on demand. Back to work two days a week from Sunday but they are literally 7am-8pm. How much milk should I leave for him roughly? I know it varies but could do with some advice from people that bottle feed as to how much their LOs might take in a day. Hoping to give him a feed before I go and when I get back. He has started weaning but obviously most of it goes between the floor boards

TIA.

I've just been looking that up! Here's what I found - kellymom

Wow that is genius, thanks!!

It gets a bit tricky after 6mo because you'll also have solids. But it's a good idea to leave that much initially. (The page does say it's for 1-6mo). You'll find out quickly how much he'll drink when you are away. Mine dropped her intake rapidly after 8mo, and prefered to statisfy her stomach during the day with food instead.

Initially I'd leave 15 oz with feeds on drop/off and pick up and work to gradually reduce it by half over a month (if expressing is no effort then carry on). DD was on 3oz bottle by 7 months but I was still working regular hour days. As it's only two days you've got plenty of week left for her to catch up with you as you reduce (if desired) the amount.
