Wendy,

According to the A/E information sheet  HOW DO I PUMP  & STORE BREAST
MILK?  edited by Julie Stock, BA, IBCLC   The following is under
"Deciding how much milk to leave for baby"   To help calculate how much
milk to leave for feedings, the following formula is helpful.  A baby
will usually consume approximately 2.5 ozs of milk per pound of body
weight in a 24 hr period,  up to a total of 32 ozs.  For example, a 12#
baby will need a total of about 30 oz. of milk in a 24 hr period, which
equals about 3 - 3.75 oz. per feeding for 8 - 10 feedings.
