Depends on weight and if he/she is eating other food or not.
At that age both of my sons were already eating about 8 oz of formula at a time.

Here is an answer from Texas Children's Hospital at http://www.texaschildrenshospital.org/Parents/TipsArticles/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=887
"Amounts - how much per feeding: The average amount of formula (in ounces) that babies take per feeding usually equals the baby's weight (in pounds) divided in half (or equal to the weight in kg). The average ounces of formula the baby takes in 24 hours is the baby's weight in pounds multiplied by 2 (or kg multiplied by 4). A baby's appetite varies throughout the day. If the infant stops feeding or loses interest, the feeding should be stopped. If your baby is healthy and not hungry at several feedings, increase the feeding interval. The maximal amount of formula recommended per day is 32 ounces (1 liter). Overfeeding can cause vomiting, diarrhea or excessive weight gain. If your baby needs more than 32 ounces (1 liter) and is not overweight, start solids. Discard any formula left in bottle at end of each feeding Reason: It's contaminated. "
