Ok I pumped and the amount varrys for each pump, I never found it to be the same as what I pumped last time. Though I did not make enough for my first and had to supplement with formula. Did not feed off breast with him. My second I mostly breast feed for the first 5 months (baby then became to distracted by DKs to continue to feed that way) and pumped for freezer stash. Once again my amounts varried with I pumped both while he was breast feeding and then bottle feeding.
Overall both my boys were eating any where between 24 to 35 oz. Per day by that age. For them 24 was the minimum of what they ate. Some days they would eat additional bottle and some days not.
If mom wont allow you the freedom to feed baby what it needs while in your care, you may have to term. You can just let her know that babys feeding needs change daily depending on numerous factors, such as sleep, type of play and play environment.
