How much should I be feeding my LO?

Hey everyone! FTM here! My DS was born at 32 weeks. Almost 9'months, so 7 mo adjusted. He's on baby food that I blend up in the processor for him. He takes oatmeal or oatmeal mixed with fruit for breakfast then a bottle 45 min-hour later. He eats 2 veggies and a fruit for lunch and dinner with bottle in between feedings and another bottle before bed. His bottles are usually 7 oz or so. But sometimes when he's eaten all of his food and I walk away with the bowl he screams for more and he's still eating every 4 hours. My mom is constantly on me that I need to give him more food for his meals. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do?? Thanks!

    My LO is 7.5 months and our schedule looks like this:

    6 am 8 oz bottle
    8 am 3.5 oz of fruit
    10 am 8 oz bottle
    noon 3.5 oz veggies
    2 pm 8 oz bottle
    4 to 5 pm 5 oz (combined veggies fruit and meat)
    6:30-7:30 pm 8 oz bottle

    sometimes he will still wake in the middle of the night but not often in the last month.  If he does and I can't soothe him we will give him a 4 oz bottle.  He also is not eating any rice cereal or oatmeal as he is in the 90th % for weight and gets his iron from the formula. 

    Hope this helps
