Formula fed 15 weeks

Hi all my daughter is 15 weeks old on Wednesday. Since birth we’ve kind of fed on a routine rather than on demand (unless she tells us she wants milk sooner but 9/10 she doesn’t) this is because she lost weight at birth we fed every 3 hours then once at birth weight every 4 hours but then she dropped her night feed then she dropped a centile. Since then I’ve been making sure she’s getting 5 bottles in a day making 5oz at a time.
I feed her at 6am, 9:30am, 1:30pm, 5:00/5:30pm, 9:00/9:30pm.
The 6am one I have her wake her for then she’ll sometimes fall back to sleep for a hour or so, and the 9pm ish one I have to semi wake her as she falls into a deep sleep around 7:30/8:00pm.

With her bottles sometimes she’ll finish the 5oz sometimes she’ll only drink 4oz in the day but recently she’s not been drinking her last one of the night it’s like she’s in too much of a deep sleep she’s only drinking 2-3oz
So the past week she’s only been getting around average of 650ml a day.
She’s 11ibs 1oz when I got her weighed last week.

At that age they should be taking 700-900ml so she's only just under the lowest one. Does she finish all of her bottles in the day? If not would it be worth making a 6oz bottle instead of 5? Maybe don't wake her up in the morning, just let her get the sleep she wants and then give her the bottle when she gets up, she may be hungrier for it if she's had enough sleep
