If I was counseling this mother I would take it from more of what she is
feeling type of approach. There is no way to counter with exactly what a
ten-month-old would need and how many feedings. So you could say something
like "yes I've seen charts with various feeding amounts anywhere from 16 to
32 oz in X number of feedings." And you could also say "the pediatrician is
probably expecting you will have your baby weaned exactly at 12 months
old."  What are your thoughts and plans around continuing to nurse versus
weaning over the next 6 months for example." And validating that she knows
her baby better than anyone.
