How much ebm does your 5mo drink

Question

For those ep moms, how much does your 5mo drink? I’m feeding up to 150ml per 2.5 to 3h. Wonder if I can cut down but yet support my baby well still. Read that babies drink more when Bottle fed but they really don’t need so much

As my baby is having issue with drinking, she was drinking 100ml every 3hourly. Sometimes doesn’t finish her feed. You can try to drag the feed like feed 4 hourly and see how’s the baby doing. If your baby will give you cue when they are hungry den you may go on to feed on demand otherwise I will recommend you to feed on schedule so as not to dehydrate them. Do bear in mind that as you have been feeding this much for quite some time, if you give too little, your baby may not feel satisfied.
