That's really variable! My babies were taking about 5oz by 8 weeks and would have been sleeping till around 11pm/midnight then having a feed and another feed around 3am ish. Some will take a bit less, some more and the sleep varies as well. Some babies take a dreamed really well, mine never did so we just fed when they woke.

You need to offer slightly more than they will take in a bottle feed so they can stop because they are full and not just because the bottle is empty. If they are draining bottles you need to add another oz to all the bottles.

HTH!
