You can express breastmilk and keep it for your baby. Expressed breastmilk can be kept at room temp for 4 hours and in refrigerator for more than 24 hours. There is no substitute to breastmilk and you should give him your milk as much as possible. If that is not sufficient then give formula feed. Give feeds by spoon & katori or directly through Katori ( Bowl) as bottles are hard to clean and are source of infection for baby. Regarding number of feeds- he should be fed every 3-4 hour and as much as he can take ie 6-8 feeds in a day.
