How much does your 7 month old drink per feed and how often?

My little one only drinks 5oz per feed every 2.5-3 hours, sometimes he will drink a 6oz (maybe once a day). He really doesnā€™t seem interested in food but we try every evening with some puree and finger foods. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar?
