Formula amount when weaning EBF baby

Hello,
Little girl is nearly 10 months old and we are making the slow transition from EBF to formula. We have won the battle of getting her to take a bottle in the first place and accept her new milk but now we have found ourself in unknown territory of how much formula is enough for her.
We currently offer her 3 bottles a day and I make 5 ounces she will take anything from 3-5 ounces per feed. I’m also offering her breast milk from me during the day but she doesn’t seem too fussed. She feeds from me at night still and occasionally during the day but her total formula intake doesn’t seem enough for a baby her age?
Just looking for anyone who has made the transition around the same age to know if she will eventually take more, it’s new to me and I know if she was hungry she would take milk from me but I worry my supply has dropped by now and it’s hard to find any information online about what to expect when you wean.
Thank you x

If she were solely FF she'd only need 13.5 Floz at 10 months. It sounds as though with the BFs, she's getting plenty but you could always check with a BFC on one of the helplines Wink
