At 16 weeks, DS needed 360ml per day between 8 and 5 (last feed 3 ish normally), and somedays more than that. So 440ml doesn't sound outrageous

Hi star6.

there is some information on pumping here

It says that the baby's need to suck for comfort may increase when mum is away which might explain why he took in so much of the EBM that you left for him.

I hope the link helps
