My nearly 4 month old takes 2oz at a time and stop, then wants 2oz again 30 minutes later. What do I do? It’s both breast milk and formula

She has
9am 4oz (isn’t a morning drinker for some reason in 2 increments
12-1pm 6oz in 3 increments!
3-4pm 6oz in 3 incremenrs
7-8pm 7oz in 3 increments
11pm 3oz dream feed in one go as she’s asleep!

My DS used to drain the bottle so I’m not used to this.

2-3oz is a normal feed amount when breastfeeding, it's probably just what her stomach capacity is.
Have you tried offering 3oz feeds every 2 hours?

She sleeps through the night. 8pm to 8am.
if I gave 3oz every 2 hours that would only be about 18oz which isn’t enough ?
