How much does your baby have at 7 months ? Charlie has breaky then half jar lunch and half jar dinner does this sound enough ?
Colton had a full Stage 2 jar.. so, 4oz/3 times a day. Every baby may not be as hungry though, and some could be hungrier. At 7mo, he should be able to tell you when he is full by turning his head, not opening his mouth, etc.

I give him solids straight after milk should i wait as he doesnt seem to interested ? How long does your baby wait for solids after milk ?
You can wait, alot of people do. Colton's ranges, theres no set time after his feed. But Ithink the general wait time is 30min-1hour after the bottle.

Am i suppose to drop a milk feed as he doesnt have alot on his first milk feed of the day ?
I never dropped a milk feed with Colton, and actually Colton still drinks every three hours during the day (8oz). He tends to take less in the morning; so normally I dont feed him as soon as he wakes. Like, right now, he woke almost 20min ago.. and he still isn't telling me he's ready for a bottle.

Jack now has:
7am - bottle
10am - 1 weetabix
12pm - bottle, half a jar of stage 2 food & a yogurt
4pm - whole jar of stage 2
7pm bottle then half a weetabix

Will maybe have a rice cake or carrot stick in between, but he tends to start eating them then crush them to a pulp in his fist

Noah's corrected age is 8 months,
He has yogurt in the AM usually about half the container
then 4-6oz bottle
Lunch sometimes he will only eat 4 bits,other half a jar of stage 2
then bottles every 3 hours
Dinner-half a jar of stage 2
I also give him a teething cookie, he's not a big eater and worry he isn't eating enough, but oh well

charlie doesnt seem that botherd about solids as long as he has his milk though hes fine im going to start waiting after his milk before giving him solids now x

Me thinks my boy eats too much

I normally wait 1/2 hour after his morning milk feed before giving breakfast.

The other meals I don't give at the same time as a bottle. He gets bottle at 10, lunch at 12, bottle at 2, supper at 5:30 (1 1/2 stage 2 jars) and then bottle at 7:15.

His breakfast is normally a bit of a struggle if he wakes up hungry and guzzles his whole bottle too quickly.

Yes I have cut out the tea time bottle, so he goes from approx 12pm til 7pm without milk - Jack has never been a big milk drinker, & will often only take 2oz if he has too many bottles, so by cutting this one out he tends to drink more of the other bottles he has - he drank 7oz of his 7pm bottle tonight. I also find that if he has a tea time bottle, he wont drink his bed time bottle, he gets tired around 6.30 & find it a struggle to keep him awake so his tea & 'supper' are rather close so found dropping the tea time bottle easiest as I like him to have milk before bed. He then normally perks up for a bit after his bottle & weetabix supper & is then ready for bed at about 8pm. He will then sleep through until 6.30-7am

i have the same problem charlies tea time bottle is around 5-6 ish but he likes to be asleep by 8.30 so by then he wont have much of his bottle before bed he will have somtimes only 5 oz then but if hes more awake he will have 7oz but feeds twice through the night, do you think i need to make him more hungry for his last bottle before bed ?

You could try it & if it doesn't work, just go back to what you were doing before Perhaps try giving him only solids at tea time & then back to milk before bed - it won't hurt to try!
