drop in milk intake 7+ months

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
DS2 is still eating 28-30 oz per day (6 bottles, all breast milk).  DS2 is 7.5 months old.  By a month younger DS1 (formula) had dropped to 25-26 oz (5 bottles, all formula).  Anyone's LO drop breast milk intake between 8 and 9 months?  He is not eating a lot of solids yet (a couple ounces 2-3 times per day).  We're working on increasing that but he's been sick so we scaled back a little recently.  I'm dying to drop a pump session.  I pump 6 times per day, starting at 5:30 AM and finishing at 10:30ish PM, including 3 times at work (would LOVE for that to be only 2).  I found that kellymom link that mentions an average of 30 oz at 7 months, but then there is a huge gap before they report another average intake.  I know all kids are different.  Just looking for some hope about dropping a session.  ;-)  I'm on the MSPI diet so this whole experience hasn't been a big ball of fun.

    I have been trying to edit my signature for weeks.  It will NOT change.  Deleted the 2nd ticker, see if it works...

    OK, thanks!  Shortly after posting this, it seemed like my LO is OK with 5 bottles per day (5-5.5 oz each time) -- usually.  He really won't drink more than 5 or 5.5 at one time.  We are trying to do 7 AM, 10:30ish AM, 1:30ish PM, 4:30 PM,
