How much solid food does your 7 month old eat?

Just wondering if I am over feeding my baby.  She eats 3 meals a day about 4 oz at each meal (just recently bumped that up).  I am thinking of starting meats in a couple of weeks.  Just wondering what is normal for this age.  She is also EBF and is nursing between 5-6 times a day...trying to get it to 5.

    DS ate that at 7m too.  Now he has 4oz at breakfast & lunch, gets a 2oz snack in the late pm, and has 5-7oz of solids at dinner (just bumped that up and when I did it cut out his last night feeding).  DS nurses about that much a day also.  As long as he doesn't refuse it, I keep feeding it to him.... he'd most definitely tell me when he was finished! FWIW, we started solids at 4m.

    A tsp a day :)  We delayed introducing for medical reasons (heart defect) so it is mainly to just get him use to the idea.

    Some might think this is bad, but we had not really been keeping track of the amount.  I make the fruits and veggies myself, and out of curiousity tonight I measured how much is in the containers I usualy use.  He gets either three ice cubes of food, or we feed him from a container that holds a half of a cup.  He does not always eat all of that, but if he's hungry, we let him.  He gets 3 bottles while I am working that are 6-8 oz., and I nurse him once early in the morning and before he goes to bed.

    We didn't start solids until a few weeks ago. We're still just offering one meal a day of 1 container of food (just the last few days, before that she was only eating half) and 2T cereal mixed in 2oz BM.

    2-3oz of fruit mixed with rice cereal in the AM (2-3 oz total volume), 2 oz at around 4:30pm (usually a veggie or meat/veggie). Days I don't work, I nurse 5 times, days I work I nurse 3 times and she gets 2 6 oz bottles.

    That's about what DD eats too.  Stage 2 containers for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I mix oatmeal in for breakfast if I need to thicken the fruit, or I've been giving her the Earths Best breakfast that already has oatmeal in it (oatmeal, peach, banana, or oatmeal and applesauce).  She doesn't always eat all of the breakfast, but does lunch and dinner.  We just introduced chicken this week and she loves it!  I nurse her once in the morning, after work and before bed and she gets 3 4.5 oz bottles at daycare (nurses 6 times / day).  It didn't work for us to cut down to 5 nursings/day - just made her get up at night to replace that feeding.
