Is it normal for an 8 week old to take small feeds?

My baby (8 weeks) is on nutramigen 1 formula & is still only taking 2-3oz every 2.30-3hrs. She sleeps for a good 6-7 hour stretch at night and will take 3oz once during the night.

She’s on mam bottles which seemly work brilliantly for her now. We previously were using tommee tippe but she didn’t like them & would refuse feeds. She’s also on the 25th percentile for weight & 50th for height. She is still gaining weight and has plenty pee/poo nappies during the day. She’s currently 9lbs 12oz and was 7lbs 15oz at birth.

Is this normal? she’s my second baby, my first was an absolute fend for milk & would drink around 5oz at this age. It also takes us around 45 mins to get her to finish the bottle as she also has reflux so we have to pace feed & make sure she’s had all her wind up or it just causes so much uncomfortableness for her.
