According to the Department of Health: 'Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of a baby's life. Beyond this stage, breastfeeding should continue for as long as the mother and baby wish.'.
Breastfed infants consume approximately one ounce (30ml) per hour when separated from their mother from age 6 weeks until age 6 months. So, if you are separated for 10 hours Monday â Friday, I recommend providing the caregiver with 10 â 12 ounces (300-365ml) of breastmilk, although some babies may need more.
