7.5 month old only taking 10-12oz of formula a day

My 7.5 month DS will only take 10-12oz of formula a day. He moved from breast to formula at 6.5 months and although he started by taking about 5-6oz a time, he will now only take 3-4oz (am, lunch and bed-time). He is sleeping from 7-5.30ish most nights although he sometimes wakes at 10.30ish for a top-up. I am trying to supplement with yoghurts etc during the day but he isn't keen on cheese sauce so it's tricky. I know this is much less than the recommended intake of milk for his age but I am not sure what else I can do. Any advice?

My ds took about this much at this age. Milk intake dropped massively once we started weaning .

My DS went through a phase of this. I just kept offering the milk and he eventually started taking it again. Could you move the lunchtime milk to mid afternoon when he could be more hungry/thirsty?

Also, remember you can add milk/formula to cereals too.
