Re: Babysitter requesting more milk!!
It sounds like your baby is already taking enough during the day, as the averages for breastfed infants go. Perhaps your sitter is more accustomed to formula fed infants, who do take in many more ounces per day than their breastfed counterparts?
Many infants also have a high suckling need. Switching to a slower-flow bottle nipple may help with this. Or maybe your baby just needs something in between - to be held, played with, sleep, diaper change. Can you provide some activity ideas to your sitter? Many mothers find that by letting their sitter know how important breastfeeding is to them, and what normal looks like for a breastfed infant, things settle down after a few weeks, without mom needing to provide any more expressed milk.
