How much food for your babies at 7 months?

my son (born 12/7) only eats once a day. he gets 1/2 jar of fruit and 1/2 jar of veggies about an hour before bed.
sometimes i'll feed him 2 tbsp of cereal in the morning if he still seems hungry after his 1st bottle.
he drinks 6 - 7 oz every 3 hours. (4 times a day)
and his very last bottle is 4 oz at bedtime.
(28 - 32 oz total)

his doctor said he should be getting most of his calories and nutrients from his bottles still.

Kamden turned 7 months on the 18th he gets 7 oz of formula every 3 hours still :/ He gets a bowl of cereal with half a jar of bananas during his second feeding of the day and the same at his last with a half jar of a veggie.

My Son James at 7 months has 4 bottles a day and three main feeds of solids in between. It all depends on how hungry and thirsty they are in general. If they are sick too the intake is usually less. In terms of mls James has 200mls of formula per feed.

Ryan (12/1) drinks 25-30 oz. of milk, 3 meals of solids, and today is her first day with an afternoon snack (whole milk yogurt and pureed mango) as she's very mobile and her appetite is increasing.

My daughter is 7 1/2 months drinks 33 oz a day including what goes in her cereal. She east baby food twice a day with oatmeal, a jar a fruit in teh mornings and a jar of vegetable sometimes with meat at night. I am kind of scared to throw in a 3rd meal as of right now. She also eats snacks through out the day such as Gerber biter biscuits and MUM MUM rice crackers, I always have her follow it with water. She doesn't like juice very much.

Our boys eat 3 meals a day and it is noramally a variety of oatmeal, rice cereal, baby food (veggies and fruit) and then maybe yogurt. I would say they are eating between 1/4 to 1/2 cup of baby food each of fruit and veggies and then about 5 tbl spns of rice cereal and oatmeal. Then they eat 4 bottles of formula totaling about 16-20 ozs a day.

My daughter will be 7m in two days and she only eats 1/4 cup of fruit and 1/4 cup of veggies per day. She really doesn't seem that interested in baby food but always wants to taste what we are eating. She always loves the real stuff but she doesn't have any teeth so I'm not comfortable with her only eating stuff that she would actually need to chew. I don't know exactly how many oz of milk she takes in per day b/c I breastfeed but she takes in between 16 and 20 at daycare alone and then she feeds with me before daycare and twice after daycare in the evening. She is eating her solids once at 9a and once at 7p. I have read that babies even at 7m need at least 40oz of milk per day! Hope that helps.
