How much should my baby drink

My daughter is 3 months old tomorrow and she's now drinking 7oz bottles and sometimes only going 2 hours between feeds and sometimes cries when she's finished a feed. We only went up to 7oz last week as she was clearing 6oz. It probably takes her about 10-15 minutes to clear a bottle she's on cow and gate milk. I'm starting to worry that it's not filling her up enough. Is this normal? She normally has 6 feeds a day but sometimes this isn't enough and it's more like 7. She sleeps through the night she has been doing this since she was 9 weeks old and she's very advanced for her age not sure if that has anything to do with it x

Just feed her as much as she’ll drink. Babies have lots of growth spurts, if she’s unsettled and crying for more milk and finishing all her bottles move her up to 8oz. :)

Babies should be feed on demand. This means letting them decide when they have finished. If they finish a bottle then you should always offer more.
