The only thing I would take issue with in your FAQ is that if you are going to be be separated from your baby for 10 hours, leave ten ounces, and maybe an extra mercy ounce if mama is delayed. Given that nursing your baby will probably be the last thing you’ll do before leaving them, they will be starting with a full tummy. If a mum is struggling trying to pump 12-15oz for a ten hour separation, it may prompt her to give up pumping when she did not need to leave that much. If daycares/caregivers pace feedings, chances are the three ounce bottles will be ample. Part of the goal of bottlefeeding a breastfed baby is for baby to feel that the bottle is less satisfying and less easy to get milk from than the breast, in order to prevent bottle preference.

Also, when leaving a baby, don’t be surprised if they drink a lot less milk (or none, in my guy’s case), and make up for it at night. It is ‘reverse cycling’ and is totally normal. My 11 month old won’t drink mama milk no way, no how, except on tap, so I pump once a day to prevent clogs and for comfort and donate the milk.
