How much milk in bottle when pumping

Ive today started pumping breastmilk (6 weeks old) so my partner can help with the night shifts. How much do you put into the bottle? As in oz/ml? Is it just fill the it up, or do you put a specific amount in to avoid wastage? Apologies if this is a stupid question!!

I usually ranged around 2oz to 3oz around that age. But it’s really a preference. I wouldn’t put my whole pump in a bottle though. Just maybe start at 2 and if you see they’re still hungry add .5 or 1oz. Once you do it for about 2 days you’ll see how much they usually eat.

thank you xx
