5 month old eating habits!

Hi all,
Hopefully someone will be around to offer advice. My 5 month old little girl eats very irregular amounts. She’s on anti reflux milk. Currently averaging 24oz a day. I will dream feed her at about 10-11pm and she’ll sleep through till about 5:30am. When I offer her a bottle at 6am, she might drink 100ml, sometimes less. The. 4 hours later she might eat another 100ml, or like today 200ml. It’s driving me around the bend because I never know if she’s hungry enough to eat. Her intake seems to be better later hours of the day, but there are days that she’ll only have about 600ml in total. She was born small and is following around 20th centile curve, we’re both small so wouldn’t expect big baby, but I really don’t know how to make her food intake more regular and predictable? Sometimes I feed her 8 times a day because of small amounts she takes in. Anyone?
