Breastfeeding
How many oz at 1 week
DD is one week old today. I have been EPing because she does not seem to want to stay on and suck quite yet. How many ozs should I be pumping at each session? I am pumping at least every 3 hours during the day, sometimes every 2. And every 4 hours at night. I seem to be getting about 2 ozs each time and maybe closer to 3 at night. Should I see this amount step up soon?
I am still working with her and hope to breast feed soon. But if I end up EPing then I am at peace with that. I am just paranoid that supply will be my next issue.

Re: How many oz at 1 week
My DD would eat about 1 oz per feeding at 1 week. During her 2nd week, she increased to about 1.5 to 2 oz per feeding.
There's no set amount they should be eating. For me, I filled a bottle with 1 oz and then if she was still hungry I would add another half oz until she was satisfied. For my extra BM, I stored it future feeding sessions.
