How much milk?

[Molsmum]

Hello, have been reading through feeding routines and just wanted to check how much milk/ how many feeds a 7 month old should be having?
I breastfeed at 7ish, then after dinner around 12ish, 2.30 and 6.30.  Because I am worried my supply is low in an evening we also give a bottle.  My LO usually takes about 6oz.
Should he be having a mid morning feed instead of the one at dinner?  Think maybe I am giving too much solids and not enough milk.  He has weetabix or ready brek for breakfast, meat, lentils or fish with vegetables for dinner, and then vegetables for tea.  He normally has bout 3 tablespoons and has 1-2 tablespoons of fruit afterwards.  He weighs 18.5lbs, certainly doesn't look too chubby and is a very happy chappy!

Thank you x

4 feeds is fine - Maybe you could offer milk at 11 before dinner - always offer milk first then food - that way he will fill up on milk not solids.

Sounds like he is doing good!! My son is 7 months this week...weighing in at 23 lbs!(big boy) He has 4~ 6 oz bottles a day and eats 1/2 jar of food for breakfast..1 jar for lunch and 2 jars at supper. So your son is definatly eating abut the same as mine! Sound sliek he is doing well!:)

Thanks, will give his milk before solids at lunch.  He has become a bit of a distracted feeder so am unsure how much milk he's getting but think all OK.
