Prama,
My breasts only feel really full when I don't express overnight...but I am not feeding directly off the breast either so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
This morning I got 180mls out of one breast alone!!! Does anyone have a breast which produces more milk than the other one???
As for how much per feed to give the little one, I feed on demand and Jake will take between 80-125mls per feed. I don't perscribe to the set amount per feed theory, if the baby is hungry feed it, if it's not dont. They will eat what they need and no less...Jake will spit the bottle out when he's had enough, usually I burp him, change him if he needs changing and then offer him the bottle again to see if he is still hungry, sometimes he take it and sometimes he doesn't. I figure he knows how hungry he is and no one else is able to know as he can't talk!
As for clothing, check to see how warm he is Prama, slide a finger down his neck, if he's sweating he's hot if he's nice and warm he's fine and if he's feeling a little cool add another layer.
