8week old how many ml per feed?

My baby is 8 weeks and about a week ago she started having up to 5oz per feed but in the last few days she has around 3oz. Is 3oz a normal amount for her age? She also started sleeping longer between feeds at night (3.5-4hrs) but doesn’t take any more milk.

She is below 9th percentile but has been tracking on a curve but just worried about her dropping below her curve

How often is she having the 3oz feed? A rule of thumb i was told was 2.5oz-2.7oz per lb of body weight, in 24 hours

She used to have about 8-9 feeds per day but now has around 6-7 since starting to sleep longer at nights. She is nearly 9lbs so probably should have a bit more. I’ll try to offer bottles more often

If she’s 9lb she should be having roughly 22.5 Floz a day so if she has 7 feeds then she’s not having much less but if it’s 6 feeds of 3 Floz i would look at adding in an extra feed either by offering a feed every 3 hours during the day or by trying a dream feed.
