Hi!

Elliott is EBF, and I have to leave him next week to go to my DH's Christmas Work Party.  So my Mom and Dad will be watching the kids.  In that time, Elliott will need at least one bottle.  I gave him a bottle this morning to make sure he'd take it, and he did ok, it took him forever to drink 2 oz. though.  My question is, how much formula should he be drinking at a time?  He'll be 6 weeks by then, and he was 13 lbs at his 3 week checkup.  I would like to pump, but I've never had much luck with it.  Can I pump a little every day and mix it together??  How long can it stay in the fridge for???  Any tips for successful pumping?

 

Thanks so much!

Suzanne
