Default Need help from breastfeeding experts :)

We're doing great and I'm so proud of that b/c since Avery was a preemie we just had issues with b/f and had to supplement with formula. So I'm so relieved that Ella is doing so well with feedings and I'm not having any supply issues like I did with Avery. My question is about expressing milk for bottles to leave with my mom etc. when I go somewhere. At 3 wks how much expressed milk should she be getting? Like I know she nurses about 10 minutes per side and is full but I have no idea how much she's actually getting kwim?...so when I pump what's my goal as far as oz for a 3 wk old? I'd just like to store up some for when I need to leave her and I'm clueless as to how much she needs per feeding. Any advice?
