How many ounces at 8 mo?

Hi....LO has no teeth so doing purees still, one fruit at bfast, one veggie at dinner.....at what point do they start needing less breastmilk?  Typically he eats about 5 times a day, 5-6 oz if in a bottle, but I BF at night and am always stressing he gets enough.....thanks

I BF 5 times a day, give 4 oz of fruit and also veggies, 6 tbsp of oatmeal, snacks such as puffs and occasionally some finger foods (like cheese, cut up fruits, pasta, bread).  I think that I read somewhere at 9 months you can start doing every 5 hours for breastfeeding so that's when i'm expecting to see her take less.

LO has an 8 oz bottle when she wakes up around 8, finger foods like cheerios after her bottle, another 8 oz bottle around 1 with her lunch, usually a pancake or waffle or some apple sauce, another 8 oz bottle around 4 or 5 with some more finger foods like puffs or cheerios, oat cereal around 6 with some veggies that she can feed herself, and a 5 oz bottle at 8 then bedtime.
