Breastfeeding

Working moms with older babies-drinking a lot of milk.

The past few weeks, DS has seemed to really step up his milk intake at daycare. The first couple months he was drinking 12-14 in a 10 hour period. Then its been about 16 oz.  A few days last week, he drank 20 oz and the teacher says he still seems to be hungry if I only send 16. I pump about 20-22 oz. So is there any harm in me sending the 20 oz? I don't want him to be overfed, but if we're matching the same amount, that shouldn't be an issue right? I don't pump at all at home with him so that amount of milk is available to him on days we're together, He is starting solids so maybe that will decrease his milk intake after some time.

I guess I am second guessing because I always hear of babies being overfed when they are at daycare. Anyone's BFed babies drink a ton of milk at daycare?
