EPers: How much does your LO take per feeding?

How many ounces?  And how old are they?  Just curious.  I am trying to gauge how much I should put in a bottle for our LO when we give him a bottle instead of the breast.

    My LO is up to 5oz about 5 times a day. She is 3 months 1 week.

    I saw the LC the other day and we did a weighted feed (weigh, feed, weigh) and she took 4.7oz so that was reassuring.

    Maybe pace feed him to see how much he will take...give him 3, then another half ounce, stop, see how he is, if he is still hungry give him more, and so on.

    DD has been taking 5 oz since she was around 2 months old.
