How much to feed LO

Hello Mums

My LO is 5.5 weeks old and formula fed for the last week. I'm giving him 4oz every 3 hours (or sooner if nothing else soothes him). He's a big boy, very long and he is roughly 11 lbs.

The last couple of days he's draining every bottle completely and is upset when the bottle runs out.

Should I up his feed to 5oz? The HV wasnt keen at his age but he does seem to want it .

What do I do?

Yes I'd increase each by an ounce. He could be having a growth spurt and is extra hungry
