I've just tried expressing for the first time so OH could feed lo and she took to it like a dream. I only expressed 1oz in 10 mins. With my ds I swear it was loads more but the pump I have right now isn't great.

Anyway, I was just wondering how much breast milk A 5-6 week old would normally take in one feed?
 
My DD usually did about 3 oz at that age. Here is a good resource with a calculator for you: https://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/pumping/milkcalc/

I have the ubiquitous but awesome pump n style by Medela and it's great!
 
Thank you! I keep forgetting about the kellymom website! I was always on there first time round!

So roughly it's saying 2oz per feeding although I might be counting the number if feelings wrong! Happy with that though. I'm jealous of your pump! I need to get a decent one!

Thanks again :)
