How much milk?!
I have a three week old and due to weight loss in the first week or so he is having expressed milk through the night and during the day he is having expressed milk whilst trying to get him on the boob. My question is, at this age, how must expressed breast milk should he be having per feed (every 2-3 hours?) or how much would be normal or not normal? Sometimes he seems content with 60ml, other times he guzzles 90ml and wants more! Is is possible for him to have too much in one bottle feed?

I believe 2-8 weeks it’s between 450ml-735ml between 6 or more feeds but like Chloe said every baby is different if they want more they will give cues if they want less they won’t finish the bottle! As long as they are putting on weight my midwife said around 20g a day is a good amount! X

Every baby is different, my baby is 2 weeks and I'm exclusively pumping he takes 120mls between every 2 and 4 hours .x
