You can tell them how often he normally eats and his hungry cues. Also make sure they're pace feeding. I think daycares are so used to formula fed babies that they're suprised that they eat more often and smaller bottles.
The amount you're sending is fine. I send LO with 1 or 2 5oz bottle and 1 or 2 formula bottles for a total of 3 bottles. If I could get all breastmilk I'd do it as 3 5oz or 4 4oz for him there 8 to 5.
Sorry for the post and run, we were traveling and no service. But with all of the rushing around getting ready for the trip, three bottles of milk got set on the counter in a bag and forgotten about for way too long in the summer heat. It's all on me, my own fault. I have such a hard time pumping and I really can't believe I did such a stupid thing.
Oh, kartish, that sucks so bad! We totally understand if you do cry! I know I would! But don't be too hard on yourself - it's an easy mistake that anyone could make.

That's awful.
People who say "don't cry over spilled milk" have obviously never had to work to pump breastmilk.
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing and pumping.
Solids? So far just avocado and sweet potato. She is not impressed. I'll give her banana tonight.
Questions/AW? Anyone else have a dip in pumping output? I've ordered replacement valves and membranes for my pump and am really focusing on hydrating. Made the world's best lactation cookies the other day (these www.howsweeteats.com/2015/02/lactation-cookies/) but I'm still not pumping much. Maybe I need to eat more calories? I'm not restricting but seem to still be slowly losing weight...about 4-5 lbs below pre pregnancy weight now, but I'd attributed that to muscle loss since I used to lift weight 5 days a week and now have zero muscle. (And sorry...this is not a humble brag, I just feel that it's relevant info. FWIW my body is a squishy blob despite the lower weight.)
Do you have pictures of yourself feeding your baby (nursing/bottle)? What about pumping? Do you have them just for yourself or do you share them? I have so many from the early days! DD made what I called greedy eating face and it was the best. She'd furrow her brows and look like she'd cut anyone who came between her and the milk.
GTKY: if you could change one thing about your house/apartment, what would it be? Squeaky floors will be the death of me. We're willing to cough up the ridiculous amount of money to replace them, but the 2 weeks of not having access to the upstairs of our house is a deal breaker.
