I consulted this website when feeding my son in the first months:

My baby at two months was only drinking 2-3oz every 3-4-5 hours. Now at two and a half months she eats 4-5-6-7 oz per feeding every 3-4 hours. I dont know why. its hard to say but the standard is 3-4 oz every 3-4 hours.

At 2 months your baby should be feeding 5-8 times per day and consuming 3-4 oz. per feed for a total of 20-28 oz. per day.

2-4 oz every 2-3 hours. If a baby cries for food more than every 2 hours, try larger feedings. If a baby falls asleep before finishing a meal, feed less often.

my son was on 5oz 5 times a day at that age but my daughter was only on 4oz 5 times a day at same age.
They are all different,I don't think there is a right or wrong amount so long as the baby is growing & putting on weight

I think I was making 4 oz bottle when my daughter was that age. Give baby much as she'll drink as often as she wants it at that age.

My first was on 5-6oz every 4-5 hours and went through the night from 10pm-7am second was on 6-7oz every 5-6 hours and she went through the night from 9pm until 6.30ish.... But every baby is different like you said. I never woke mine to feed them i let them tell me when they was hungry.

ive been sorta going by the rule 150ml per kilo per day, thats what the book (that i got when mine was born) says, else ive been going roughly by the guide on the side of the tin. sorry i dunno how to convert it. it would vary depending on the baby, but it seems to work for my son.
