Pumping & bottle feeding

What is the best way to go about not wasting BM when you are giving bottles? I want to give bottles more to get LO used to it but I'm paranoid about wasting milk- like if he finishes and there is some left over since it's only good for so long. I guess I'm just not sure because I have no clue how much he's eating since I'm exclusively BF. Any tips for pumping & bottle feeding in general?

    I defrost a frozen bag in the fridge and only pour 1 1/2- 2 oz first. I warm that up and if he wants more, I'll just warm up another ounce or 2.

    I've been pumping since the beginning since we had so much trouble bfing. If she doesn't finish a bottle I will save it in te fridge for the next feeding. After that I'll pour it out to avoid bacteria. I asked my LC and she said this was fine.
