Update & how much milk?

Fiona is doing great! She is almost literally bouncing off the walls! She's running, jumping and trying to eat the whole house! Our alpine girlie, whom I think we're naming Gretchen, is also doing very good. She is not playful, but is curious and is eating FANTASTICLY! She liked the last nipple we tried out of desperation, (a lamb nipple) and is eating like a little pig. I also have not noticed her grinding her teeth.

My question is how much milk? They're about 3 weeks old and I keep finding conflicting info on how much milk they need. If I got by what I've read I may be over feeding but they are always ready for a bottle!

P.s. as I was writing this Fiona learned how to climb the stairs!

Me personally between three and four weeks I cut them down to 3 16 oz bottles a day. I also put out hay for them a very little grain. They have baking soda 24/7 too.
