3-4 oz of what? Talk with her doctor, don't switch formulas or from breastmilk until you have spoken with the pediatrician. Most babies go through a couple of parent-torture phases where they decide not to eat anything for weeks. (My second son has recently decided that exactly 2 bites of food at each meal in more than enough. He is making me crazy!) The actual weight of the baby doesn't matter, if she is still gaining weight (even if it is slowly) then she is fine. Some people are smaller than others, that is just how it works. Don't watch the numbers. Is she happy? Is she learning stuff? Does she act hungry or does she just have better things to do now? If you make a big deal of how much she eats, she will. It will be best if you pretend it doesn't matter whether she eats or not (start now or you will have issues with her later). Talk to your doctor, call tomorrow, it will be better if you aren't so worried. Best wishes.

If all else fails my milk ran out while my son replaced into 9 months and that i had to start formula and he refused it so his dr instructed me to make what he reported as a smoothie which in the journey that your making a 6oz bottle use 3oz juice (of your selection) and 3 oz..water then make the bottle like regular with the three scoops of formula it makes it flavor greater suitable and infant will take excitement in the manage desire it helps
