16 ounces does seem like a lot for how short of a time he's away, but I'm not with him all day.
Tough call on 3 pumps or 4 in that case.
I could only pump twice a day at work, and I would usually only be about 2 ounces short. For a while I would try to pump MOTN and I would get a lot then. But hell no to waking up to pump if I didn't have to. So I would just dip into my freezer stash for 2-4 ounces a day, and try to replenish it by pumping on the weekends or whenever I was up MOTN anyway.
Around 7 months I realized I wasn't going to keep up (he was taking 18 oz a day by then) and we started supplementing with formula. Shortly after that I was like well he really seems to like formula, screw this pumping nonsense, and we did a combo of freezer milk+formula until the freezer was empty and then he was 100% formula for a few months.
