He'll be 7 months on March 2nd and our feedings are every 3-4 hours during the day, he gets about 4-5 ounces in a bottle or BF's if I am home. In the morning he gets cereal mixed with fruit and for dinner he gets a fruit or veggie or a mix. He just started sleeping 8 hours at night so we get in about 6 bottle/breast feedings per day and two solids meals.
Four six ounce bottles around 6:30, 10:00, 2:00, and 6:00. Solids around 9:00 and 1:00 (and sometimes 5:00 too). Solids consist of oatmeal (1 oz. formula with enough cereal for consistency and 1-2 oz. fruit/veggie).

And I have no idea how much they nurse throughout the night. It's a lot, but I am barely awake!
ETA: No idea how much BM they get in a feeding and as for solids, I pump for 3-4 minutes and however much BM I get I use to thin out their food, so I don't know how much they actually eat!

Re: 7 month old feeding schedule
Typical weekday schedule, he gets bottles at daycare and nurses at home:
6 am - wake up and nurse
8:30 - 6 oz. bottle EBM
9:15 - 2-3T cereal and 2 oz. fruit/veggie
11:30 - 6 oz. bottle EBM
2:30 - 6 oz. bottle EBM
5:30 - nurse
6:15 2-3T cereal and 2 oz. fruit/veggie + finger foods
7:30 - nurse to bed (brief, stop when getting sleepy to put down)
Sometimes there' also an early morning nursing session, around 2-3am.
This is not a strict schedule, but seems to be what she prefers:
6am - BF
8am - fruit (3-4 oz)
10 am - bottle
12 pm - veggie (3-4 oz)
2pm - bottle
4pm - BF
5:30 pm - veggie (3-4 oz)
7pm - BF
plus a totally unpredictable number of comfort feedings through the night.
6:30/7ish- Nurse
8ish-cereal and fruit
10- nurse
1230ish nurse
1- vegetable and meat
2:30/3ish nurse
5ish nurse
5:30 cereal and vegetable
6:30 nurse
10 nurse
