[quote=Anonymous]I have a 2 month old who is currently eating like crazy. They have so many growth spirts the first 6 months, I never bothered with a schedule. Giving such small amounts in hopes of holding them over to the next scheduled feed is probably counter productive. A bottle of breast milk can sit for about 2 hours, and you can pop it back in the fridge so long as it’s finished before the end of the day, so if they don’t finish it right away, you can save it for the next feed. So I’d give them a full bottle if they wake up hungry and see how much they take. With my older DC, she would eat 4.5 oz every 3 hours between wake up and bed time, and then go 12+ hours overnight without eating, so it still settled out to ~24oz a day. [/quote]
