heya. im currently breastfeeding.....not sure how much weight she will have put on/lost till 2moro, but ive bought a breastpump anyway. im just wondering....when i express, how much should she have of BM in one feed from a bottle?

at the mo she is one one boob for around half an hour to an hour.....every 2-3 hours.
 
There is a great calculator here:

They say around 1oz for every hour and no more than 3 or 4 oz at a time. The feed should also take as long as it takes from the breast. So try and pace the feed, if she is drinking to fast try winding mid feed.
