How Many Oz of Expressed Milk should I give?


Hi Chicks,

Just wondering how many Oz of EBM I should be giving my 5 week old baby? Is there a way of working out how much he needs? My OH has been giving him a bottle of EBM twice a week so I can get some sleep at night. He took 5oz the other night and could easily have taken more?

Is there a way of working out how much he wants/needs based on age?

Thanks
xx
