How much do I need to express?

Does anyone have any guidance on amount of expressed milk required to replace a feed, please? I presume this would be based on baby's weight. Have a 4 week old and trying to plan ahead to let DH do some feeds in evening.
Thanks

It's not based on babies weight with ebm after 1 month. From 1-6 months a breastfed baby will be taking roughly 750ml/25oz a day so divide that by the number of feeds a day to get a ballpark amount.
