Formula feeding not increased

My daughters FF and has not increased the amount of bottle she has since she was around 5 weeks (now 11). She has around 3 1/2 oz occasionally drinking 4 once a day every 3 hourly. She was weighed last week and has gained, just thought it was odd for her appetite to not increase. Wondering if this is normal.

Some babies never increase the amount in the bottle, they just increase the number of bottles.

She should be having roughly 2.5 floz of formula per pound in weight every 24 hours. So if she’s 10 lb, that’s 25floz a day.

If you work it out like that, is she getting enough?
