Upset when bottle is empty?

I bf in the am and at night.  DS gets bottles during the day of what I pumped the prior day.  He is getting 5-6 ounces about every 3 hours (on demand).  But he is so angry/upset when the bottle is empty. 

Is this an indication that he might need more- or just what most babies do (especially when they are bf for their other feedings)? 

I've done the calculators and it seems to be on target for his total ounces.

    He's hungry.  Start giving him 1/2 oz more & see if that helps - if not another 1/2 oz.  He's a growing boy!

    Is he still actively eating when the bottle is getting close to finished?  DD went through this phase around 4-5 months where she was done eating but just playing/sucking for fun (she did the same thing after BFing).  If I replaced bottle/breast with a pacifier right away, she was happy.  You may want to try that?

    My son started taking 6-7 oz at 4 months.
