7.5 month old eating schedule.

I'm a little bit concerned DS isn't getting enough formula throughout the day. He used to have 4-5 bottles a day (6oz) but lately he doesn't seem too interested in it at all. This is his schedule...
7-730am - 6oz bottle
9-10am - oatmeal w/ a fruit, sometimes with a 4oz bottle
12pm - 6oz bottle, if he doesn't take the 4oz
3-4pm - 2-4oz of veggies, sometimes with a 4oz bottle
7-8pm - 6oz bottle

This was his schedule for the last couple months, and now he just won't take this much formula. Sometimes in the morning when he wakes up, he'll only have maybe 4-5oz. He will rarely ever finish a bottle anymore, but I don't wanna force him to eat it all. I just feel he isn't getting what he needs. I only feed him two solids a day, so I don't think he could be filling up on just that. While I'm eating, basically anything, and even if he's already eaten, he will like beg for food. So, I try giving him a bottle and he just doesn't want it. So then, sometimes I'll give him a couple ozs of baby food and he will eat the whole thing. I don't get it. Advice/suggestions?  

I'd offer another bottle between lunch and dinner. Cut back on the baby food. He needs the nutrients from formula. If he wakes up at night I would offer a bottle. They should get 24-32 oz of formula everyday.

I've tried giving him a bottle between lunch and dinner, and he'll only eat 2oz of it. He sleeps through the night so he doesn't get a night feeding. Today I won't give him any solids and see how he does. So far today he's only had 6oz.. and yesterday he only had 20oz.

Good luck! Every couple ounces counts. If he only wants two oz is give it to him. Try cutting out solids and let me know how that goes

I will, thank you!

He did so much better yesterday! I just kept offering him a bottle every couple of hours, and if he didn't finish it all, I'd wait a half hour and he would drink the rest. Its 130 here right now, and he last ate around 10. He wasn't crying or anything but I thought I'd give him a bottle and he ended up drinking 8oz! He seemed like he was staring yet he wasn't crying or anything to eat.

Yay!! I'm glad that worked. Maybe his little body isn't ready for all those solids on top of formula. He's still young so that's a okay. Good job mama.

Thanks so much  

I started feeding mine 3 times a day about that time. Cereal for breakfast, a jar of food for lunch, and a jar of food for dinner. Plus about 4 or 5 4oz bottles and 2-3pz of watered down apple juice

My boy is the same age and will have 6/7oz on morning, some mixed in with his breakfast. Snacks a couple hours later. Dinner time 6ish oz bottle before a bit of dinner and pudding. Maybe a snack if I have something and tea time 6oz and food with pudding.

I asked health visitor and she said that's fine, I dont need to put bottle with break fast just whole milk
