It would vary- but about 1-2 ozs. I don't know how much you are producing but 3 oz sounds like a lot. Figure if she is getting 2 or so from you- they would only need about 2 oz more a feeding.

Hang in there too with this- I had a hard time figuring out how much and when too- I only produced about an oz per boob per feeding based on what I could pump and how much DD would eat of forumla after a full feeding.
