How much expressed milk?

Question

My son is 6 weeks old and I’m just wondering how much milk to put in a bottle for him when I give him expressed milk? I’ve read conflicting things and my husband gave him 4 oz today and he seemed unsatisfied still but it’s all I got from my pumping session yesterday. Do I need to pump more frequently? What’ll I do when I go back to work and need to have one pump for every feed?

Answer

Paced feeds. 4oz is alot at 6wks.

Answer

Usually around 3oz every 2-3 hours. Be sure to pacefeed. It’s easy to overfeed when you use a bottle and it can negatively affect your breastfeeding relationship. 
My daughter was drinking 4.5oz of breastmilk each feeding at 12 months old for reference.

Answer

My daughter is almost 4 weeks and she’ll take anywhere from 3.5-5. She took 5 last night and still wanted more so I nursed (my hubby was trying to let me sleep. Baby decided otherwise lol) some people say 4 oz is way too much at this age but if they’re still hungry what else are you supposed to do? 
If you’re wanting to increase your supply, pump at least once between 1-5 am as that’s when the milk producing hormone is highest

Answer

My baby is 11 weeks and she has 4 bottles of 3oz milk while I’m at work for 9 hours
