DS is 7 months old. He was EBF for 5 months. Then, I added just a bit of cereal 1-2 a day. THe rest was breast. I've started the bottle two weeks ago. He didn't want to take it, then gradually it worked out. However, I cannot restle more than 4 oz into him at a time. Even when he wakes up after not eating for 12 hours, he still doesnt take mre. Overall, he ends up with 16-18 oz a day max (incl. amount used for cereal). I am going for a check up next week, but I am worried, because my other kids took in more formula at this age....
Should I be concerned?

No. Formula is "heavier" than breast milk...and since you don't know how much he was getting before you have no way to know if this is comparable or not. If he's thirsty in between offer water. As long as he's gaining well and producing wet diapers, he's fine.
