When I went back to work at 3 months, Claire would have 3oz in each bottle. I would be away from 9-5 and she would have 3 bottles of BM during that time.

Great, thanks, I figured about 2-3 oz for each feed.

I think it depends more on the size of the baby. DS was 10+ lb when he was born, so he was upto 4-5 oz at that time (expressed BM)
