    as many as he/she will eat!

    as long as baby is gaining weight and having normal dirty diapers, you really dont need to keep track of how much he/she’s eating =)

    Well when I express my milk my 7 week old usually takes about 4-5 ounces. So it could be around that much for an 11 week old but it really all depends on the baby.

    Freeze in small batches (like 2-3 oz.) so it’s not wasted. Have your in-laws thaw what they need as it’s needed. Make sure baby will take a bottle (http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/alternative-feeding.html).
