Anyone's LO take 6oz+ ebm bottles?

This is just crazy to me. Dd #1 was a big eater and only took 5 oz for the whole yr she bf'd.

Dd #2 started dc last week. I sent 5 oz bottles and they asked if I could 'bump them up' b/c she sucked them down and looked for more. So, I sent 6 oz the next day. At one feeding, she apparently ate all that and they defrosted 1.5 ozs to give her as well. That's 7.5 oz in one setting!

I will say she spreads out her feedings better at d/c than for me at home (sometimes going 3-4 hrs). I can keep up pumping cause I have a great supply (for now) but this seems crazy to me.

She takes playtex dropins slow flow latex. Should I try the silicone? She wouldn't take silicone, only latex as nb, but I will try again it if it's slower.

Maybe she's getting ready to go through a growth spurt. Only time my DD takes more than 5 oz is if she has slept for 4 or more hours and even then its rare she hits 6oz.

the most DD has ever taken was 5 oz and for the past month she will only take 4 oz.

DD has eaten 3-8oz bottles for quite some time now. Before that it was 4-6.5oz. DS also ate 8oz bottles at this age. DD has STTN since she was about 5 months old. DS STTN since he was 2.5 months old.
