[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been back at work for 2 weeks. I am pumping about 11 ounces a day and the nanny is feeding my baby about 14 ounces a day, using my freezer stash (which will soon be gone).  I am gone for about 9 hours so I think 11 ounces should be enough. Is it reasonable to ask the nanny to only feed 11 ounces per day, plus a little puréed solids? Or is this unfair to both my baby (who may be left hungry), and my nanny (who may be left with a cranky baby)? I am trying to pump more often at work but it is kind of a pain to pump every hour to get more milk. The baby is 6 months old and I really like breastfeeding and would like to continue. Any suggestions from nannies or MBs who have been there would be appreciated.[/quote]

Are you crazy?!  Your child is hungry and you are blaming the nanny and want to starve you child?  What is wrong with you,![/quote]

Agree. My baby took 16 oz in 9 hrs at 6 months and he wasn’t even that big an eater. 11 oz over 9 hrs is basically asking the nanny to starve the baby. [/quote]
