formula amount

I'm working on weaning DS and it had been a bit of a struggle, but I think he's finally starting to take to the bottle better (though he still does reach for my shirt a lot).  I have him taking a bottle before his second nap and his bedtime.  He took 5 oz., sometimes it takes a bit for him to get it down (he'll play with it) and other times he'll take it all right down.  Should I be making a 6 oz. bottle instead?  How much is your 9 month old drinking at a time?

    at 9 months carter would only take 5 ounces at the most per feeding of formula... I was making 6 ounce bottles but was wasting it so I started just making 5 ounce ones.

    Alyssa takes anywhere from 4 oz to 12 oz per feeding but she does have a predictable pattern (takes 6-8 oz for her first bottle, 4 oz for the next, etc).  I don't think making 6 oz and seeing whether he wants it would be a bad thing.  Also, Alyssa will often take 4 oz first thing, play for 20 minutes then finish up the bottle but that has more to do with her being all excited about being awake and exploring first thing :)
