  I wouldn't worry.  DD is finally taking 4oz bottles 3x a day at daycare.  She also nurses at 7am, 5:30 pm, 7pm and once in the middle of the night.   She gets distracted too much while eating from the bottle.  She might drink more if they tried for a longer period of time, but it's a struggle to get her to the 4 oz now.

  DS eats one or two 6 oz. bottles a day and then three or four 4 oz. bottles.  So, a little less than 30 oz a day?  The pedi said he is gaining weight at a good rate, so I guess it's enough.

  My DD eats 26-28oz. on average and normally not more than 5oz. at one time unless she is really hungry.  I would say your daughter is in line with mine and she was 15 lb. 1oz. (80% percentile) and 25 3/4" (95%) at her 4 month appointment.

  Irene is around 14.5 lbs. and currently eats 28-30 oz. per day.  She usually takes 5 oz. per feeding.

  I give DS 6oz at every bottle.  He maybe takes 5.5oz each time but sometimes will eat the entire 6.  His bedtime bottle and his 3am bottle has 6.5oz because he's usually a little hungrier at those times.  In a day he averages 28 to 31oz.
  

  He had his 4 month appt yesterday, and he weighed 16lbs 7oz and 25.75 inches long.

  Both of our babies are eating 32-34 oz. per day and have been for a good month now. Crazy thing is they'll be 4 months tomorrow and are barely 12 lbs. Mt pedi seemed to think everything was okay and just commented on what big eaters they are. They were born 5 weeks early and weighed 5lb. 6oz @ birth.
