Expressing?

[Louise87]

My lo is 3 weeks and I have been bf her but need 2 express as I need to b away from her for a few hours round a few of her tea times how much do I need to xpress per feed? X

At 3 wks old I can imagine about 5 ounces of milk would be enough, but every baby is different.

If you're just going to be away from her a few hours as you say Id say maximum 6 ounces.

I would say 5 or 6 oz. Hav u tried giving her a bottle as I had to express as went to a wedding and was away for 9 hrs and when I first tried the bottle my little boy really didnt like it atvfirst and I had to let him hav a bottle once a day to get him used to it...u got my boyfriend and his mum to feed him with the bottle as he wasn't interested in taking a bottle frm me as he could smell milk frm me so he knew if he caused fuss with bottle with me I wud just bf him so whoever will b feeding her try and get them feeding her b4 u leave her.

At 3 weeks my LO was taking 30-50ml per EBM feed and feeding every 1.5-2h xx
