Are you planning on drinking when you are out, or can you feed when you get home?
I personally would leave about 150-180mls for the first feed, and about 150 for the second, and then the baby should be able to hold on until you get home. Then top up and off to bed I guess?
Give the person babysitting an idea of when the feeds should be going in. So say - the first bottle between 6 and 7:30, and the second bottle between 2-3 hours affter the first for example. You will know what times work best for you guys.
I found at that age Jenna would just drink and drink and drink - it didn't seem to matter how much was put in the bottle - 100mls or 200, it was never enough! But after they are finished, sitting up for a few minutes they will settle their tummies and forget about more food. I guess its kinda like me and potato chips - take them away and I'llstop snacking!!
