Fresh milk can be in the fridge 4-6 days and frozen thawed milk can be in the fridge 24 hours. These are the milk storage guidelines from the LLL.

it's hard to guess when breastfeeding eh, logan now feeds off me for about 20 - 40 mins every 3 hours or so, and takes a 5oz bottle on the occassions he gets a bottle, maybe do a couple ounces each time you express that way if lucas still hungry after a feed he can have another couple ounces to top him up, then enough for say 4 feeds if you back at night, if that makes sense x
