Baby is still having 5 x 6/7oz bottles and barely eating solids

I offer breakfast and dinner and he barely eats anything normally. He has a few mouthfuls and then turns his head. I’m worried he is getting too full from all the formula and wondering if I should give him less milk to see if he eats better?

Amount for feeding

How much is everyone feeding their babies? I breast feed and then do a top up of 90mls (something we’ve done from the beginning due to tongue tie and haven’t been able to stop) or just give 120mls if not breastfeeding.

How much water do you give your babies?

We started giving out little one sips of water at mealtimes around 6 months and she now drinks at least an ounce, sometimes 2-3 oz, with meals, but we're not sure if we should be swapping this out for cows milk?
