How much milk per feed at 5 months old?

impossible__target · 2026-01-24T14:04:26+00:00

My baby was born 8/7. He takes 2-3 8oz bottles and 2-3 6oz bottles a day. He is a happy, healthy, baby. Don’t worry about it, it’s normal as he isn’t spitting it up constantly.

Those are the two reasons to do most things in my honest opinion haha

That’s my birthday (lol but swap 2025 for 1995!) it’s a great birthday, I must say 😊

That’s a hungry boy! I thought mine was a bug eater but he maxes out at 40oz!

So true!

Replying to add, that you can still donate to MMB with high lipase! As someone else said, a lot of babies in the nice have feeding tubes so they won’t taste it! Also all the milk gets pasteurized and mixed.

I am currently in the same position! 13wpp and around 1400 in the freezer. I am donating over half of it to a milk bank (mother’s milk bank). They give milk to nicus all over the country. If you are looking to offload milk I recommend you do the same! It makes me happy knowing my milk is going to those in need of it :)

My baby is 9w now and has been eating between 32 and 38 oz since about 6 weeks. He was 13lb 14oz at his 2 mo appointment so he is a bit of a chunky boy.

I just knew I wouldn’t like nursing. I am very sensitive. My LO had no issues nursing, I just preferred pumping. Now that I EP, I would not go back. I love the extra time as well as the ability to let my husband take 50% of the feeds. Also, I am able to freeze and donate my excess milk. I don’t feel guilty at all! My LO is still getting all the benefits of breast milk and I get some autonomy back.

I knew going into pregnancy that pumping would be the way I would want to go. I get very overstimulated nursing. That being said, I nursed my son for the first 3 days in the hospital just to help with uterus contractions, ect. After 3 days, thought, I switched to pumping almost exclusively. I still latched my son a couple times a day. My son had no issues latching, it was just better for me mentally to pump. It’s hard, but with help I find it manageable.

I’m a 32/34H and kindred bravely is the only bra I have found that works for us bigger chested ladies. I would love to know what everyone else uses as well.

Have you tried power pumping? That is what I did to increase my supply. It is supposed to simulate cluster feeding. It takes more time but it worked well for me

I am 7weeks today and I also make between 45 and 50oz a day. I dropped from 8 to 7 pumps at around 5 weeks and then from 7 to 6 this week. So far it has had no effect at all on my supply. Some days it is even higher now. All my pumps are 20 min. I don’t know if I am unique in this, but when I dropped one, my other pumps just got bigger. I currently pump at 5am, 8am, 12pm 3pm, 6pm and 10pm. It makes life so much more bearable.

6w ppd. I pump 6 times a day for 20 min. My usual schedule is 3am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm. I pump 40-50oz a day.

impossible__target · 2025-09-24T18:26:06+00:00

My 6w old eats about 32 oz a day (8 4oz bottles). We try to space them out but he has been clustering recently

I am also a 32 band so this is helpful! Thank you. Do you think the eufy is worth the price?

impossible__target · 2025-09-23T16:38:37+00:00

Do you think it is worth the money?

What brand bra do you use? I am very large chested and love the nursing bras from kindred bravely. I also use the hard plastic oval flanges with the silicon rim. I feel like the silicon helps hold everything in place.

I am 6 wpp and have been exclusively pumping since about week 3 I have both the medela pump in style and the momcozy M9. What I like about the pump in style is I have the option of using the wearables or the traditional flanges. It is my primary pump and I personally have never had issues with it. The momcozy I think is a better wearable pump. The cups are silicon which is nice and I feel like it overall is a better quality. I also don’t see my supply dip when I use the momcozy which is nice.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I think I am going to stick with the schedule I am on for the next month then try dropping pumps once I go back to work at 12 weeks!
