A quick question for those who have EEd for older babies. My DS is almost 9 months, and I'm really unsure as to how much EBM to give him each day. I'm getting from 550-600mL per day, and I have been giving him 3 bottles of 200mL. However, now that he's at the age where you start to offer food first, then the milk, it's becoming trickier to know how much to give him. I've been giving him 100mL, then another 50 if he wants it, then more if he wants it. But it's hard to know if he actually wants it, or is just happy enough to drink it. If he was on the breast it would be a lot more dictated by him.
So my question is, as you approached the latter part of your expressing experience, what kind of amounts were you giving your babies, and how did you know they were getting enough.
