I don't know if I should be concerned or not but my baby drinks at least six ounces then sometimes she will still want 2-3 ounces more.

My friends have babies that are older than mine and they eat less.

i think the recommended amount is up to 32 ounces per day of formula. my son however was a little piglet so he probably ate a little more than that. every baby is different. if she is hungry feed her. i just used my own judgement on this one. my son was like your baby. eat and then act like he was still hungry and only eat about one more ounce after i made the bottle. just make a 6 ounce bottle and if she doesn't want it all just put it in the fridge for later. i also started putting cereal in my sons bottle because he was getting up constantly through the night and eating everytime.

Your baby should be drinking 4 to 6 ounces

Your baby will eat what she/he needs at the moment. When my son was 3 months old he was eating about 2-4 ounces per feeding. He is now 6 months old and eating 4-6 ounces. According to his Dr as long as they are gaining weight dont worry about it.

Well even though my little one at that age was a bit of a piggy, and so i did try to follow my pediatricians advise when it came to a my babies diet. So I am pretty sure that your baby should be on 4 or 5 bottles a day with about six onces each time, and you can start baby cereal now but make very watery.

I would say 4-6 also, but sometimes it depends on the baby, my son was such an eater that my doctor told me to start putting alittle cereal in his bottles. I would check with the baby's doctor before you make any decisions, but if I remember right what I was told, if your baby wants to drink more than let him/her. S/He know when s/he is still hungry or full.
