Switching from breast to formula

My LO is 7 months and I’ve been wanting to switch to fully bottle feeding as I feel like my milk isn’t filling her up much. But I don’t know how much oz to give her per feed as scared I’ll over feed her. I’m not quite sure how much milk she needs at this age as she’s also on solids/purées three times a day
