[quote=Anonymous]We have a new nanny for our almost 6 month old. I am pumping milk and she is going through it so fast! Of course she should feed the baby when she's hungry but I am trying to figure out how many ounces to leave, and if I can pump enough and it seems like a lot more milk than when I'm with the baby.

That said, when I'm with the baby I breastfeed so not sure how many ounces she's getting at each feed, but I think my supply is fine because she never acts hungry or seems unsatisfied at the breast. When she's with the nanny she is supposed to get 3-4 bottles between 9am and 5pm at about 4oz each but based on the nanny's tracking she's feeding her more like 4-5 bottles at 4-5oz each. The baby is eating it happily, she's not forcing her to finish bottles and she's not overweight.

I can't pump 18-20oz to leave everyday...I am getting about 8-12oz to her reliably and using up my stash and will add formula and solids soon.

But do you think that sounds right. Baby is eating 18-20oz between 9am-5pm and getting the rest at the breast early morning and before bed.[/quote]
