anyone's LO taking a full 8oz per feeding?

DS has been taking 7oz about 6x's/day and I was wondering if I increase it to 8oz he might go longer in between feedings and feel more full.

Any suggestions?

    DD is up to 8 oz at 3 feedings and 6 oz at 2 on most days. She eats about every 3 hours regardless of the size of the bottle.

    At 3m, DD was definitely NOT taking a full 8oz, but now at 5m+ she definitely can. I BF most of the time so I'm not sure how many ounces she's getting, but she'll take 8 in a bottle if we give it to her.

    My baby kills an 8 oz. bottle most feedings, usually eats every four hours. In the morning he only eats 6 oz for some reason.

    I didn't notice he was only 3 months. My DD just started the 8 a few weeks ago.

    Yup,  my little one eats 8 oz five times a day.  She basically eats every three hours except in the morning when she naps she goes about four hours in between.  She gets up around 9am and goes to sleep around 10pm.  She STTN (except she is dealing with the wakeful now...and has woken up some nights)

    at three months she was eating mostly seven ounces a feeding...sometimes eight for a total of 32 ounces a day.

    DS is nearly 4 months (Monday) and is taking 6-7 oz and between 6-7 bottles per day.  I prefer the days he takes 6 bottles?the 7th is usually his 3 am bottle, the nights he doesn't STTN.

    WOW, he takes 7oz a bottle? Thats impressive for being so young. My DD takes 4-5 oz and shes 2.5 weeks older!

    I would try the 8oz, Im sure it would help.

    I still EBF, but my LO is only eating between 4 and 5 oz when she gets bottles at daycare.

    DS takes 8 oz, 4x/day. The hardest stretch is to the last feeding before bedtime. We increased to 8 oz and every 4 hours gradually over a couple weeks, but it was pretty easy.
