Moms who pump, how many ounces or mL's do you feed your newborn? Is it supplemented with formula?
My LO is 9 days old and eats 50 mL of milk about 8 times a day. Tuesday was the first day we didn't give her any formula.

my 2 week old gets 4 ounces of breastmilk every 3 hours or so.
He got mostly formula during the first few days of his life because he was jaundiced and we needed to get him to pee and poop a lot.
Now he gets maybe 2-4 ounces of formula a day IF I'm tired and don't feel like pumping or nursing.
I LOVE FORMULA! -
@chopsuey119: I have a formula stash and I love it too. When we were at Target a few days ago I asked DH if we should pick up a pack of the ready to go bottles for when we're out and about, so we have those too.

@MaisyMay: I LOVE THE 2 ounce READY TO FEEDS! That's all LO has been getting. Got a ton from the hospital and went to target and picked up some more.
SO convenient.

@chopsuey119: We got a bunch from the hospital too! We also were given 2 big canisters of formula, same type as hospital, so we've been using that as needed. This morning I was really grumpy at DH and didn't want to pump (still not sure how they were connected, crazy hormones!) so I just made her a formula bottle.

LO is 5 weeks. We nurse first, then she gets a bottle of breastmilk if I pumped after last feeding that is anywhere from .5-2 ounces. Them she gets another 2 oz of formula. So she gets around 4 oz total at each feeding
