Formula feeding.

My baby girl is 14 weeks and she drinks 6oz every 4 hours during the day. Is this okay? When it comes to night feeds, do I wake her up for a bottle? For example, tonight she had a bottle at 22:20 and she’ll probably sleep through until 5-6. Do I let her sleep or do i wake her at 2am for a bottle?
