expressing?

[naomip]

hi, my lo is 2 weeks old and is breastfed, I'm going to try and express some milk next week so that daddy can give him a feed. How much expressed milk should he have in a feed? I've got no idea x

Alex takes between 3 and 4 oz depending on how hungry he is, and he's 16 days old.
I expressed 4oz first time I tried him on the bottle and that was well enough. Just express what you can, give it a trial run where you can chuck him on the boob if he's not satisfied, and see how he gets on! x

Yeah I agree. S normally takes between 2-3 oz at 11 days. You should have no bother getting as much as you need cos you have been bf. I use the tomee tippee closer to nature bottles and the teets are great for stopping confusion, she does the same sucking action as when bf x x
