Almost 6 month old bottle and feeding question

My almost 6 month old recently started eating fruits and veggies. I basically give him five 7 oz bottles a day and then give him a half a container of fruits in the morning and then 1/2 a container of veggies later in the day. I notice that he spits up more frequently so I know he's probably eating too much. I usually give him his bottles every 3-4 hours..his schedule is pretty much....bottle at 7:30, fruits around 9:30, bottle at 10:30, bottle at 1:30, bottle at 4:30, veggies at 5:15 and then bottle at 7:30 which holds him throughout the night. Is this too much? How often do you feed your children and how much. The Pediatricians are so vague on the topic and being a new Mommy, I'm a little lost and don't want to over feed my lil guy. Thanks for your input

At 6 months, my DD was drinking 4 6oz bottles a day and eating breakfast (oatmeal/fruit) and dinner (oatmeal/veggie).

Re: Almost 6 month old bottle and feeding question

At 6 months DD dropped to 4 bottles (7 ounces each) and was getting breakfast and dinner for solid meals.

my girls get 4 or 5, 4 oz bottles a day and 2 meals of cereal and a jar of fruit/veg

maybe DS isn't eating enough (or too much!)! He is almost 6 months...

I nurse him in the morning
he gets 3 5oz bottles a day while i'm at work
he eats oatmeal and fruit in the morning and again in the evening (about half a container of each)
i nurse him again once or twice before bed (cluster feeding still)
nurse him to sleep
and he still gets up once during the night
