Feeding problems (bottle) HELP!!

Hi all! Help needed as I’m starting to obsess over my 12 week olds eating habits!!
He has always been a fuss pot and eventually felt like I had to stop breastfeeding! He has been fully on the bottle for about 6 weeks and has got worse with feeding. He will happily go over 4/5 hours without a bottle and when he does he may only take 100 ml!!! Which throughout the day is not enough! I have gone onto size 2 teats as thought he may just be getting bored! There is no force feeding him either once his had enough he will outright refuse or spit it out! Overall if I can get 700ml down him that is a good day!! Just worried that he may start loosing weight etc

Is 700ml not only at the lower end of normal for that age range?
See if you can get him weighed to put your mind at rest but if he's peeing and pooing isn't excessively sleepy and meeting milestones then there's likely no problem

Not 100% sure need to work out. He is peeing pooing and normal sleeping compared to normal. I have tried to get him weighed but they won’t do it!!
