Does anyone know what a newborn weight increase should be after breast feeding?

I thought I’d measure my daughters weight before and after feeding, it’s slightly inaccurate as I have to measure my weight first and then carry her and minus the difference – but my LLC woman said it’s a good way to see how much she’s getting.
I normally have an increase of 2–4 oz after breast feeding – does anyone know what the increase should actually be?

I have no idea how much milk I produce as I can’t pump!
My breasts don’t like the pump – she’s gaining weight though so she’s doing beautifully it’s more curiosity on my part.

Thanks!
