Just wondering if you have recommendations or what others do. I feel like his food is all bunched up and I would like to go to 4 bottles a day, but this is what we are currently at:
5-6am-bottle(7 oz)
8am-breakfast(oatmeal and fruit)
9:30 bottle(5-6 oz)
11:30 lunch(usually veggie and protein or another fruit)
1pm bottle(5-6 oz)
4:15-bottle(4 oz)
6 dinner(veggie and either protein or fruit)
8-bottle(7 oz)
He takes a short nap before or after his 9:30 bottle so this time varies. He takes a 2 hour nap from 1:30 to 3:30 usually. What do you think? Any recommendations? what are you schedules) and what do you feed him at each meal??

Re: Eating schedule for 3 solid meals a day
Our schedule is similar, but I don't think I can offer you an tips bc you are currently getting better nap times than I am! DS only sleeps for 40-45 minutes.
I feed him solids 3x a day, one hour after he has a bottle or nurses.In my bag: Canon 60D, 50mm 1.4, Tamron 28-75 2.8, 430exii
My DS's schedule is a 6 oz w/rice cereal at 6am, bottle and 1 jar of fruit at 10am, bottle at 2pm, 1 jar dinner or veggie and 1 jar fruit and 4 oz bottle at 7 and night time bottle around 9 before we lay him down. He may have a small amount of juice and/or puff snack at some point but not daily. This is all approx. times but you get the idea of it
My Dr. said 2-3 jars a day is plenty for DS but it seems like our friends baby's are eating more. DS is always satisfied after eating so I dont feel like I'm leaving him hungry. He's a chunky 7 month old!
6oz bottle at 7ish
30-45 min nap
2oz fruit at 10ish
6oz bottle at 1030ish
30min-1hr nap
6oz bottle when he wakes at 1130-12
2oz veggie or fruit at 1-2ish
6oz bottle at 3-4ish
4oz veggie at 7:30
6oz bottle at 8
sttn until 7am
and sometimes there is another 6oz bottle thrown in, depending on his appetite

Trying again..
sounds like you have a pretty good schedule
ours is similiar lo is 6 months
our schedule:
wake up 7:00
7:30 5oz bottle
9:00 2 tablespoons fruit, 1-2 cereal
nap 10:30-12:00
12:00-5 oz bottle
1:00 2tbsp vege, 2 tbsp fruit
nap 2:30-4:00
4:00 5oz bottle
5:30 2tbsp of vege, 2 tbsp cereal
anywhere from 6:30- 7:00 another 5 oz bottle
then bath and bed by 8
the schedule varies a half hour here and there depending on how long she naps for that day and usually shell take an extra bottle in there somewhere or ill wake her up before i go to bed at 10 for another so i can make sure she gets her 24 oz a day, im trying to eliminate that feeding and feed her more formula at her other feedings but so far she doesnt wanna take anymore than 5 oz at a time. It doesnt really bother be much though because she sleeps through the night from 8 to 7 and is gaining weight and having enough wet/poopy diapers
Our Schedule usually happens like this:
6-7am wake up and nurse
8am- 2oz of fruit w/ 2 tbsp of cereal
9-9:30- nurse and then nap until 11
11:00- 2 oz of vegetable
1:00- nurse and then nap until 2
3:00- nurse
6:00- 2 oz fruit w/ 2 tbsp of cereal (if she's still hungry I have her 2 oz of veggie)
7:30- nurse and then bed
