Expressing

If I express my milk how do I know how much to give each feed? ATM I’m trying 4 oz, sometimes she drinks it all and sometimes she only drinks 2 oz😵‍💫

Breast milk adapts to babys needs so the usual amount is 1-1.5oz per hour since their last feed. No more than 4oz in a single feed x

@Sîan that’s really good to know! thank you so much, I’m worrying she’s not eating enough x

he has 5oz every 3 hours then 7 before bed. i make roughly 45/50oz a day and he now only has 1 night feed of 5 oz xx

but well done for pumping !! it’s so exhausting on top of everything else xx

@sunyar thank you, been making a conscious effort to do it cos I’m doing a few days at work soon so she needs to get used to the bottle xx

Im exclusively pumping , he eats little and often but he rarely eats more than 4oz at once. But as far as I know most babies eat more than that at once by this age

@Elle she’s started refusing the boob so I’m pumping about 4oz a time too! How is yours sleeping through the night? We’re still up once or twice. My boy was formula fed and he was eating 6/7oz every 3 hours at this age xx
