How many ounces do you give daycare for LO?
Hey ladies!
I was just wondering how many ounces do you leave at daycare for LO? DS will be 4 months old on the 17th. I have been giving our daycare 4 4oz bottles. At first he was taking 12 oz in a 10 hour day. Over the last two weeks, he has been taking all four bottles and doesn't seem satisfied after the four ounces. I know he might be going through a growth spurt, but I'm thinking of bumping him up to 5 ounce bottles. I read somewhere that as a rule of thumb, babies will take about half their body weight in ounces when figuring out servings. So in other words, my son is 13 lbs and will take in 6 oz a feeding. I'm hoping by increasing his bottles he will be more satisfied and go longer without eating.
