How much should my 4 month old eat at each feeding?
I baby is nursed.. She gets breast milk in a bottle when I go to work. She eats about every 3 hrs and is about 15 pounds. I asked the teacher in the nursery at her day care how much she eats at every feeding. She said about 2-3 oz. Is that ok? When I pump that is all I pump also. Is that because that is all she takes in?

Yes this is fine. It sounds like your 4 month old is perfectly healthy. As long as she is satisfied when you put her to the breast when she is done, then she is full. Also, your breast are only going to produce what she stimulates them to, so if she only suckles 2-3 ounces, that is all that your breast are going to produce each time you pump, unless you increase your pump time or frequency to self stimulate your breast.
Good luck and you have nothing to be worried about. Ask them to keep a chart of her feeding times and amounts at the nursery, I always did when I did infant care myself.

"Is that ok?"
Of course it is. If that's all she wants then it's perfectly fine. Babies are great at only taking in what they need. I pump for my 4 1/2 month old and she takes anywhere from 4-5 oz. of breast milk at a time. She takes a little more than your daughter but that's what her body needs. Also if you are nursing your supply is tailored to just what your baby needs.
For what it's worth, though, a pump isn't very indicative of how much milk you have so don't base your supply off of that. And an output of 2-3 oz. while pumping is very normal.

truthfully, She desires to be positioned on A extra Regulated time table. often Feeding is quite no longer healthy My ultimate guess For you may To Be persevering with The 6 Ounce each 3-4 Hours If She continues to be Hungry there is not any longer plenty you're able to do toddlers Are companies For starvation and you in basic terms could desire to proceed What you're Doing My Daughter develop into Like That Too And The docs do no longer See on occasion merely How Your Daughter Is considering the fact which you realize Your Daughters behavior extra effective Then everybody yet merely attempt and shop Her On A time table and make constructive She Eats around the comparable circumstances familiar and she or he will have the skill to start to swap.
