My friend told me yesterday that if you pump 4-5 oz in 10 minutes, and that your LO normally nurses 10 min a side, than that is what you should give them in a bottle? 
That seems like a lot to me, dd is only 2.5 weeks- I've been giving her 3 oz bottles of BM at night (going by the kellymom calculator) we have a Dr. appt on wednesday so well see where her weight is.

I don't think that is true.
I pump in the morning and get 16 ounces 
I just started my bottles at 2oz and slowly increased by half an ounce. When she would spit up a lot or not want to finish it, I would stop.
Then after a few weeks, I would increase by another half ounce and try again.
DD is almost 4 months and drinking 6 5oz bottles a day.

NO and when your milk supply regulates you will see that you are not pumping very much your DC will always get more from the breast than a pump can get. For now your milk is still regulating because your DC still has to increase their milk intake for a while.
