I believe the recommended daily amount is around 32 oz. But that is a general amount some babies want more and some want less. Once my baby started finishing say 4 ounces each bottle and didn't seem content I would increase 1 ounce to see how they did. If the in-between feeding time also decreases say from 4 hours to three hours that was also an indicator that they needed more at each feeding. It is all trial and error in the beginning. As long as your baby is content, and growing, I wouldn't worry. Trust me they will let you know what they need. LOL!!

If there is a recommended amount, just ignore it. Give your baby as much as she wants - no more, no less. Everyone is different, and your baby is the best judge of how much she wants to eat.

If you are formula feeding do not give her more than 32oz a day. When my son was four months he was taking close to 40oz and my pediatrician said he was getting too much iron so we cut back the formula and introduced cereal.
