How much breast milk should I feed in a bottle?

[FTM2babygirl]

I'm a FTM and currently breastfeeding. I have been expressing some so my husband can feed baby aswell. She is just over 3 weeks old. Breastfeeding seems to be going well. My question is how much breastmilk should we give her in a bottle if we are doing breast and bottle? (with expressed milk?)

I’d start low at 2/3 Oz in a bottle as once your liquid gold has been heated it can’t be refrozen/chilled and if baby takes more and is looking like she wants more for her feed I’d up it to 3/4oz, that’s the only problem with breast milk, you have no idea how many oz’s they get when they’re on the boob! x

The medela website has info that helps you figure it out. I’m also a FTM breastfeeding my daughter is 6 weeks when I pump I usually just give her what I get, it’s usually about 120ml at the moment. I use it at her night feed so I can get her back to sleep quicker (and I can get back to sleep too).

It's really hard to know how much to give but remember to pace feed when giving the bottle it means they wont take too much too quickly.
