How much Breastmilk in a bottle for 6.5 month baby?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I just started pumping again b/c I have some stuff coming up that DD will need a bottle since I won't be here. I haven't given him a bottle in a month or two, so I'm trying to figure out how much to put in the bottle. Should I start with 4oz and go from there? Or are babies typically eating more 5-6oz at this point? Thanks ladies!

I also XP this on the Breastfeeding board.

    At daycare DS gets 4oz every 3 hours. When DH and I go out and someone else is putting him to bed, we have them start with a 4 oz bottle and go up oz by oz if necessary. The most he has taken at night is 6oz. I think if i

    My pedi said anywhere between 4 and 8 ounces is normal.  When I leave LO, which is not often, I make two bottles of 4 oz each and instruct the sitter to offer one 4 oz bottle, then pour 2 oz from the next bottle into the first bottle and then offer t
