How many oz of formula at 9 weeks?

My DS was switched from EBFing to formula 2 weeks ago.  He is MUCH happier, but the pediatrician said to keep him to 25oz/24 hours.  He is not satisfied with this so the last couple of days I have been giving him closer to 30oz, but he is giving the signs that he wants more.  I am going to feed him on demand (momma knows best...right?), but I'm just curious how many oz your LO's were eating at 9 weeks and how often?
FYI he is 10lbs.

    My LO ALWAYS ate above average and is chunky but healthy. At 9 weeks he was still mostly breasfeeding but would take probably close to 3-4 ounces every 2-3 hours. If he's hungry, feed him, I say NOT to listen to doc on this one. He will stop eating when he's full. If we capped our son we would have dealt with screaming beyond belief.

    Starting at about 9 weeks, DS has been taking about 5.5-6 oz per feeding five times per day and usually ends up at a total of 27-28 ounces. Prior to that, he was crying more, and I think it's because he wasn't getting enough at each feeding.
