? for the moms of NB who pump and use bottles

How much breastmilk do you put in the bottle?

I only used so far 2 oz bottles but I wonder how much I need to give DS.

I don't know how to convert 20 minutes of BF into how much oz it is.

I usually can pump between 3-4 oz. Although I do have a few in the freezer with only 2oz in them.

It really depends on how full my boob is.

She'll take the whole bottle. She averages about 4 oz. At least that's when DH feeds her from the bottle. When I BF her, I have no clue how much she gets.

My DD is a week old & I've been using 6 oz bottles to pump & usually get about 4-6 oz (from both breasts) in 30 min. & put them into 2 oz. bottles....sometimes DD will take the 2 oz. & then an hour later be hungry again & I'll give her another ounce.

I usually get about 6 oz total in 10-15 min. (I leave milk in the medela bottles that I use to pump)
