I never had a clue, I used to freeze it in 4 oz portions so that it could be a 'snack' or put two together for a 'big dinner'

She didn't get bottles very often but when she did used to take between 4 and 8 oz. I noticed she used to need winding after bottles

I would probably offer him the lot and see how he goes. Make sure he doesn't guzzle at a rate of nauts... winding throughout sounds like (going from pp) a plan...
