How many oz. does your 3/4 mo old eat?

I am back to work as of yesterday and DD has always been EBF.  I am trying to figure out how many oz. she should be eating per feeding.

    Anywhere from 4oz-8oz, but on average, 5oz-6oz.

    My LO eats exactly 5oz every bottle. He seems satisfied after that, so I don't try to give him more. Hes been at 5oz for months.

    She ate 6 oz every 4 hours when she was that age and still does.

    DD typically has her first bottle of the day at 6:30 a.m. and her last one at 8:00 p.m.  She eats a 6 oz bottle about every 3-3.5 hours.  So she usually eats about 30 oz. per day total.  I send her to my mom's with 3 6 oz. bottles and she takes them all (my mom also has some formula powder there just in case she's extra hungry one day).

    My FF baby generally eats 4-6 ounces every 3-4 hours during the day and every 5-6 hours at night.

    We just bumped DD up to eating 5 oz. every 3 hours. She gets one 6 oz. bottle right before bed now that she is STTN.

    DS is BF & gets 3 - 5oz bottles during the day while I'm at work. Sometimes I put in slightly more (5.5 oz or so)

    At 3 months, DS was eating 5 ounces, every 3 hours, and sleeping through from 11pm to 6am.

    My son is eating 8ozs every three hours. Between 40 and 48 ozs a day.  Sometimes he will take 9 ozs.  We are asking about starting rice when we go to the dr. next week.

    My EBF kids take about 8 oz in a bottle and eat 4 times a day. I was worried when they dropped their night feedings and were only eating 4 times a day so I bought a scale. Turns out when they BF they eat anywhere from 6-10 oz (I was super surprised at that 10 oz BF). So I would offer her 8 oz the first couple times and see how much of it she drinks. Then you'll probably have a good idea what to fill the bottles with next time. Also go to kellymom.com for more info.

    Typically she would eat 4oz 8x a day. Now she's super hungry, eating 38-40oz, so we are doing cereal in addition to BM.
