Hi, you can give approximately 60ml per feed. Offer 50 to 60 ml initially, if your baby takes all of it, add around 15 ml more in the next feed. You may increase the quantity by 15 to 20 ml per month.
Take care of preparation of milk. Follow instructions by the manufacturer. Clean all utensils well, and keep in boiling water for 10 min. Wash your hands with soap before preparing.
And review with your doctor for resuming breastfeeding as soon as possible
