BF and solids stressed

I feel like my milk supply has really decreased. My LO is 7 months old and we have been eating solids for about a month now. Here's how our eating schedule is going:
Wake up (normally around 7 am) Nurse then we'll eat 2oz of banana oatmeal. He doesn't always want the oatmeal but I offer it to try to get I to a routine of eating "breakfast."
About 3-4 hours later, we nurse again then he'll eat anywhere from 2.5-5 oz of fruit or veggies.
(Sometimes he'll nurse before solids and sometimes after)
repeat every 3-4 hours until bedtime.So he's eating solids and nursing 4-5 times a day.
I don't use a bottle because I am a SAHM and despise pumping. But I have been offering a sippy cup of water which he loves. But because I don't use a bottle I have no idea how much milk he is getting and I'm worried it's not enough. He is so interested in solid foods he's losing interest in nursing.
I feel confused about this whole situation. I am worried he is not getting enough nutrients. Is anyone going through anything similar?
