Expressed breast milk quantities

Those that are breastfeeding and giving the odd bottle of expressed milk; how much are you giving per feed in the bottle?
We’re doing 2 bottles a day, 1 around dinner and 1 in the early hours, everything else is on the boob. I pump in the early hours and get loads but I’m not sure the right amount to give baby at each bottle.

He’s 3weeks old for reference

I do the same as you with two bottles a day and my girl is also 3 weeks. She is content with 60ml (2pz). Occasionally could take 90ml but I find 60ml is perfect as otherwise if she has more she will have a long break in between bottle and feeding off me and I don’t want it to effect my supply especially this early on xx

My baby is 4 weeks and has anywhere from 3-4oz per feed every 2-3hrs after the boob x

My 2 week old little girl has 100ml of expressed milk if its a 3-4 hour gap between feeds, if its less of a gap then 80ml x I give her 5/10 minutes after she’s finished a bottle and if she wants a bit more I top up with 20ml or the boob

I have a 4 week old, she will have about 4oz each time with at most a 3hr gap between

Has anyone’s newborn sounded like this?

He’s 3 weeks old, born via c section. He was laying in his basinet in the early morning making these sounds. It seemed he was also trying to push for gas/poop at the same time

Can’t cope with this

My baby is 5 weeks old. She has been crying for days.

I can’t do this anymore. I have a toddler and she’s waking him multiple times a night and then his behaviour is dreadful all day..

She takes a feed and then screams inconsolably for up to 2 hours after a feed. She then settles and is due another feed again.

I am so unbelievably depressed. I’m not sleeping and I’m not coping and I do not know what to do.

5 year old CONSTANTLY swearing😭

It's gotten to a point where my 5 year old is constantly swearing, muttering "f*ck" to himself over and over, or saying "what the f*ck" as he's playing with his toys. I've done some research and it says that they're testing boundaries and a big reaction will encourage them to do it more. I'm trying my best not to react, however I have taken his Switch and iPad off him as he needs to learn it's not okay to say. Just looking for some advice really on what approaches I can try or some tricks maybe? I'm grateful for anything at this rate. 🥲

Sleep training

I know it’s near enough impossible to sleep train a baby at 3 months but when did people start? Did you start a little earlier than 4 months or later? Did you find any of those sleep training guides such as sleep chief co etc helped
