How much should she have in one feed?

Always breastfed but decided to express and give her her evening ,meal, in a bottle. How much should 5 week old take in one go do you think?

I just expressed off about 4 oz from each boob but that seems a bit much for one feed?

Just try her with 2oz or so. Put the rest in the fridge. Got your text, btw - yes, we must meet up soon! Can't believe DD3 (Dave, was it? ) is 5wo already! (And I have some Lansinoh bmilk storage bags if you'd like them?)

I mean try 2oz initially because she might not take it and you don't want to waste it. Obv if she does take it, you can try her with 2 more, etc.

You'll feel uncomfortable if you don't express at this feed though, probably.

Thanks sweet

I'm just so full in the morning and she's such a grazer all night that it seemed like a good idea to use all that milk I have in the am and try and fill her and also give me a break last thing at night when I feel drained, in every sense of the word!
