Nat, often babies drink less at day care and make up for it when they are home with mum again, so don't worry too much about leaving enough. By 6 months you will have also started to introduce solids, and Violet will be able to have water as well.

From 1 month to 6 months of age, babies generally drink about 750ml of breastmilk in 24 hours. This will not be evenly divided between feeds, however in order to work out how much baby will take on average, divide 750 by the number of feeds in 24 hours. From 6 months, the amount will gradually reduce as solids are taken up by the baby.

All the best with it hun.
