Bottle Feeding- Is she having enough?

My LO is 8 weeks old now and has anything from 650-750mls a day. I've found lately the more she eats in the day the later she sleeps at night- which i guess is obvious but in the day she sometimes only drinks 80mls then stops and then I have to wait 30-45mins before giving her another 40-70mls. I've been reading so many people saying their babies who are formula fed and are 8 weeks are easily drinking 150ml in a sitting which I'm now worried is she getting enough----she's 11lbs now and was albs when born….

Sounds fine to me, and similar to my ds when he was 8 weeks old, he used to like a break in the middle of feeds, for a nap or just a look about.
He's 4 months now and doesn't always finish his 180ml bottles, or will sometimes have a full carton of 200mls. He's nearly out of his 3-6 month clothes and weighs over a stone, so just go with what your baby wants, don't stress about other people. Babies make their own rules. Grin

My DS (3 weeks) is having roughly 60ml each go. According to the packet he should be having 120ml!! There's no way he would take that much. He has only just got back up to his birth weight (8lb 11) and we still get regular visits from concerned MW/HV about his weight.
