How many OZs?

For pumping, how many ounces should an 8 week baby be taking in the bottle at a feeding.  Thanks.

    Every baby is different, but DS takes 5 oz every 3-4 hours.  I've sort of figured it out by trial and error.  He was still hungry after 4 (or hungry shortly thereafter), but he doesn't finish the 6oz bottle.

    My LO gets about 4 oz every 3 hours.  He does, however, have two periods throughout the day that he eats the 4, then an hour later gets 1-2 more, then a full feeding again in 2-3 hours.  I was told at 3-4 weeks I was overfeeding him (4oz every 3 hours) but I find it hard to tell when hes full?  Its not like he passes out when he's had enough like he would at the breast.
