New mom with expressing milk questions

[starah]

I didn't see any posts with these questions, I apologize in advance if this is a double post! I just had my daughter 5 days ago, and started expressing milk today so daddy can feed her sometimes.

How often do you recommend expressing to get the best results? I want to get the most amount of milk out of each express.

If she doesn't finish her bottle of breast milk, is it ok to put it back in the fridge to save for later? What about if it was frozen?

When is the best time to breastfeed (before feeding/after feeding?)

Any other tips you might find helpful would be greatly appreciated! I had more questions but can't think of them now I guess it takes a while for the pregnancy brain to go away lol
