Weaning EBF 4 month old, how many oz?

My 4 month old has been EBF until this past week.. We recently found out we're pregnant again.. and she's been a bear for the last two weeks. My milk production has dramatically decreased.. so we've decided we're going to wean her, maybe giving her the breast once or twice per day. How many oz / bottles should she be having minimum per day? (She's a very good eater)

Just start with 4oz and see what she does. My 11 month old weaned at 11 months and still will only eat a 4oz bottle. There is no magic number as long as she growing.

I mean as a general guideline in 24 hours

You know you don't have to wean her because you are pregnant right? (not judging if you want to, just want to make sure, there is a lot of misinformation). It actually might be more of a gently weaning if you let your supply do it and start supplementing. That way no one has to be sad.

I understand. I want to wean as much as I dont, if that makes sense.. she's been acting like she's starving after feedings.. wanting to nurse every hour.. and not sleeping as long or as often. I nursed her on both sides and she still took cereal and 2 oz of formula. I just dont think there's enough

Can you possibly feed her formula and nurse her after? So that way she is satisfied and just getting comfort? That way she will just be doing it for a short bit. It might make it emotionally easier on you. I totally understand the mixed feelings.

Its supposed to be 2.5oz per pound of weight in a 24 hour period. Obviously it varies but thats the average I guess you could call it.

Im thinking of just nursing her when my breasts feel full, which they haven't in some time.. until I decide to completely stop. We've had an ongoing thrush problem that im also looking forward to finally clearing up, as we keep passing it back and forth

Thank you, thats what I was looking for   just to know

Honestly my breasts never feel full, I have a 3m old. I tandem nurse and still donate 11oz a day via pumping and the still never feel full.
