Well the info on the side of the carton is only a guide. 5 6oz bottles is 30 oz. You say she's having between 21 and 28 oz plus breastmilk. Is she finishing those 3-4 bottles?

The thing with breastfeeding, obviously, is that you just don't know how much they're taking. But if you're feeding on demand and allowing her to stop feeding from the bottle when she's had enough you shouldn't be overfeeding I shouldn't have thought.

What has sparked your concern? Has she upped her formula intake recently?

Sounds about right - if fully formula fed she'd be having around 30oz a day, but she is having 21oz-28oz formula plus some breastmilk.
