Am I feeding her too much?

My daughter is 7 months and I'm not quite sure how much I should be giving her now. Her schedule is something like...
7am-7ounce bottle n 3 teaspoons of cereal
10.30am-6 ounce bottle
12.30-4cubea of vegetable or vegetable meat purée with a fruit pot
4pm-half a 7month onwards jar of cow and gate or Heinz mums own recipe
5.30pm-a bit of finger food while we eat r dinner so bits of our plates (she usually just plays with this and only eats/sucks on a small amount)
7pm- 7 ounces before bed
She has water from a beaker with meals.
Is this too much? What were/are your little ones eating at 7 month?

That sounds reasonable to me :) Milk should be the main source of nutrition until about 9 months when it tails off a bit. But generally go by her lead, she'll let you know when she wants more.

I have a 7 mo too. Compared to what I give my ds it seems fairly similar. I can't work out if I'm giving too much/ little either! He's been steadily putting weight on though and is pretty much 50th percentile so I guess it's ok.

If it's any help yesterday I gave him -
7am half weetabix with milk
8.30am 7 oz bottle
10am mashed up pear
12 few spoonfuls veg soup, bits of bread
2pm 7oz bottle
4.30 4oz bottle
5pm few spoonfuls beef stew and mash, few spoonfuls rice pudding
7pm 7oz bottle

Like I say seems fairly similar. Sorry I can't be more help!
