How much EBM for 2 hours?
Tomorrow's the night of the symphony. DS is almost 5 months old and I will
be leaving him for about 2 hours with my dear friend. I plan to nurse him right before we leave but will be leaving her with some EBM. So far I have 6oz pumped. That should be plenty right? Bear in mind he is 20lbs and tends to nurse frequently in the evenings. I am, hoping that I will be able to get him to sleep before I go but that may not happen...any words of wisdom??? Should I pump more just to be safe? TIA! |

Heck, I bet he doesn't take any at all! 6 should be more than enough. Have fun! Mary W. |

How much EBM for 2 hours?
should be, but I'd split it into 3 bottles, with the expectation that he
would take 2 at a feed and the 3rd was for emergencies, chances are that even though he feeds lots in the evening he's taking the milk very slowly. Ada can quite happily take a 6oz bottle in the morning, but usually only after a 3+ hour gap. Anne |

You may also find that even though he is an avid nurser, he may be much less willing to take that much from a bottle. That was the case with ours. Is he experienced with drinking from a bottle?

How much EBM for 2 hours?
He took about an ounce but he did it more for the novelty than anything I
think. He was a perfect angel and it was MUCH less stressful than I expected, for everyone. DD was a very good girl too. We had a nice time, though for the last 20 minutes or so, I was getting antsy (and full!)...thanks for the help and advice, everyone... "Mary W." wrote in message ink.net...

No, not at all - he has only ever had one or two other bottles and then only
took a sip or two. He can sip from a cup, so I assumed worse case scenrio he'd do that. I nursed him right before I left him and he was totally fine... wrote in message ...
