How often and how much does my baby need to eat?

Here is a sample baby feeding schedule for a 6 month-old baby from a Gerber pamphlet:

Early Morning: Breastfeed until full OR 4-5 oz. formula

Breakfast: Breastfeed OR 4-5 oz. formula, AND 1 tbsp. rice cereal mixes with 4-5 tbsp. breastmilk or formula (give him some breastmilk, then cereal, then breastmilk)

Lunch: Breastfeed until full OR 4-5 oz. formula

Afternoon snack: Breastfeed until full OR 4-5 oz. formula

Dinner: Breastfeed OR 4-5 oz. formula AND 1 tbsp. rice cereal mixes with 4-5 tbsp. breastmilk or formula (give him some breastmilk, then cereal, then breastmilk)

Bedtime: Breastfeed until full OR 4-5 oz. formula

That sounds to me like an awful lot of food for a little baby, but at least I have some idea of how much a baby needs to eat at 6 months. If you have a child, does this feeding schedule sound accurate? How much and how often does your baby eat?
