How Much Does My LO Need?
My LO is 14 weeks old and bit of a peanut. We are still in newborn clothes. I have always given her 4oz bottles of BM when I give one and she had seemed happy with it to me.
Last week we did a half day with the sitter for practice as I go back to work tomorrow. The sitter thought she needed 5oz. I am not convinced she's right but now the night before I have to drop her off Im second guessing the 4oz bottles I'm sending. What's the deal? I thought I read somewhere that EBF babies never really need more than 4oz because BM changes to match nutritional needs.
