I EBF and went to work at 6 months (LO nearly 8 months).
My DH gives 1oz at a time in a bottle and he takes around 2 oz 3 times a day in the 8 hours I'm at work.
(I believe he has revered cycled though).
I think the rule is for every hour your away, 1.5oz per hour if you don't feed through the night and 1oz per hour of you do feed through the night.

My 7 week old little boy easily takes 5oz every two hours. More in the evening as he gears up for a long sleep! Blush

I exclusively bottle feed expressed milk to my DD. She is a preemie who was in NICU for 3 months where a 'full feed' is calculated at 150ml per kilo per day. So now she is 4.24kg, I make sure she has at least 636ml per day, usually she has 6 bottles a day so just over 100ml per bottle. Can't work it out in oz's though I'm afraid!
