How much to express at top up

Baby's 4 weeks and feeding like crazy in the evening. Last night we have 90ml of my previously frozen breast milk as I just couldn't keep up with her!

I'd like to do same tonight if situation same as she seemed to settle better.

How much should I give and when should I express?

Hey my son is 2 weeks old and I'm breastfeeding too.. I do try expressing aswell because he seems to always want to feed! Midwifes keep telling me to just feed him till he don't want anymore .. He can easily take 5oz in one feed! I find it's hard to be breastfeeding and trying to express a good amount of milk aswell.. But just express when ever you get the chance and just do as much as you can , I do it when he goes to sleep and try and get 2 1/2 oz each side xx
