Examples

OZ’s PER FEEDING

Oz’s per feeding = oz’s per day divided by number of feedings.

Example: 9 lb 8 oz baby needs 24.8 oz’s a day.  If feeding 8 times a day: 24.8 divided by 8 equals 3.1 oz’s per feeding.

If feeding a baby breastmilk by bottle, place the calculated amount of milk per serving in separate bottles.

DAY CARE MILK

Use the chart to calculate how much to take to daycare for the day.

Example: 9 lb 8 oz baby needs 24.8 oz’s a day, or 3.1 oz’s per feeding. Day care requires 3 feedings, or 9.3 oz’s per day, or 3.1 oz’s per bottle for the day.

Pump 9.3 oz’s at work for the next day at day care, or use frozen or refrigerated milk.
