How much milk to give?

Question

If I’ve NEVER given my baby expressed milk.. how much do I try to introduce? How much will my baby need to be full? I have not a clue how much he drinks in a feeding. He typically feeds off both breasts per feeding.

Answer

In general 1-1,5oz per hour:

Answer

My hospital work out per day is 150ml per 1kg baby weighs then divided by number of feeds per day.
Eg 4kg baby needs 600ml per day
10 feedings a day 60ml per feed

Answer

Start with an ounce or two, you can always give more. I haven’t given a bottle in a while, but around 5 months we found 4!ounces was more than enough unless he hadn’t eaten in a long time. They will turn away and refuse it when they are done
Just try, you will figure it out.
