How much EBM for a 15wo

[hirsty79]

I am escaping for the day on Saturday to attend a friends wedding, leaving DD with DH.

I should be be able to do 2 feeds before I go and am planning on coming back home between reception and night do for the last feed so DH will probably need to do 2 feeds whilst I am out.

I have been expressing and freezing for the last few weeks so have built up a bit of stock but am not sure how much to defrost. I want to make sure there is enough, without wasting loads - any ideas how much I should take out?

6oz per feed should be enough? And if it isn't, your DH can always defrost some more. But have you tried a bottle out on her before? She may or may not take it....

Enjoy the wedding!

Thanks Bunnyfrance - yes she takes a bottle no problem so DH should have no probs there.
