Feeding volume

I have introduced a daily (5pm) bottle of formula to my bf baby (20 weeks).

She is only taking 2oz at this feed. Is this normal under the circumstances?

She is a very efficient breast feeder. Done in less than 5 minutes and feeding every 2 to 3 hours during the day.

She is short and chubby, so obviously doing alright. I just wondered if the volume that she drinks is standard or unique to us? I usually can only express a couple of oz per breast, so thought that maybe she was just used to taking little and often.

Babies take about 24 floz of bm in 24 hours, so if she drinks 2 floz and wants feeding again 2 hours later, that's about right.
