How much BM in a bottle?

My DS is 3 months old and I just went back to work. How do I know if I'm OVER-feeding him? When he took a nightly bottle while I was on leave we gave him 4.5 ounces. Now I have been leaving the Nanny 5 oz bottles, and he downs those easily. Tonight I left my DH a 5.5 oz one, and he downed that! I feel like he'll eat whatever is in there. Is there a protocol for this?

    I have heard so many people say "average" babies or most babies eat 3 oz while mom is gone. I mush have an atypical baby...he drinks 5 oz three times a day while I'm at work. He nurses once before work and twice when I get home.
