5 month old-how many ounces?

my baby girl is 5 months old this week, currently she takes 9 ounces every 4 hours but is drinking the bottle dry!

should I put her up another ounce? Sorry first time mum, 10 ounces every 4 hours seems like a lot to me!

any advice appreciated .x (she was 10 pound 7oncs @ last weight check)

you really have to go on your instinct, but i was weaning my two at this age. Have you tried weaning her on baby rice or cereal?
It might fill her up a little more and have less milk. Baby food is not going to just stop like that and it is stil very good for them. But it might not be as filling as it once was.
If you are still worried or have questions your health visitor can help, i had to ask questions even with my second.
