Age and ounces w/ your baby?

Just wondered if you ladies how many ounces your LOs drank at different ages (3, 6, 9 months, year- or whatever ages you remember)? Wondering what everyone's experiences are here. 

 My DS is 3.5 months and takes three 4 oz bottles when I am at work and breastfeeds when I am with him.  My mom acts like I am crazy not feeding him more.  I told her he will go up to 5oz. per bottle at some point... but not yet and probably not more than that.

    my DS is 4.5 months old and still only drinks about 2-3 oz when he gets a bottle.

    he's gaining weight so i'm not concerned.

    DD is 4.5 months and just today we switched from 4 ounce bottles to the 9 ounce bottles.  She was eating 4.5 oz. every 2-3 hours and today we switched to 6 ounces and she went every 3 or 3.5 hours.

    DS rarely gets a bottle but when he does, he takes about 4oz at the most.  Sometimes only 3oz, but he still eats about every 2-3 hours.

    DD is 7 months old.  She is at daycare from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm.  While she is there she takes two 6 oz bottles.  Sometimes snacking on them, sometimes finishing them in one sitting.
