Amount to express for night feeds

[classyburd]

OK gonna express some tonight so OH can get up instead of me at times, take it in turns.

Question is, how much do i need to do? What do they average per feed???

I rough sum is

Weight of baby (in KGs) x 150ml / No. of feeding in 24 hours = Amount per feed in mls.

This is only a rough guide tho. Good luck hun!!

Is its going to be roughly the same amount as if it were powdered milk as he was briefly on bottles so i know he was taking roughly 60ml a feed on those.
Or is breast milk more filling/higher cals so he likely to need less??

It will be about the same as it's about the size of his tummy and also if he wants a big dinner or a snack. They dont take the same about every single time
