Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Feeding schedule for 8 month old?

Can you please share your feeding schedule for your LO around 8-9 months?

DS has started refusing his bedtime bottle and as I started googling it, many of the articles talk about how many babies start to give up this feed... the problem is he's waking up much more at night and I *think* it's due to hunger so I don't think he's ready to give it up. He hasn't been taking overnight feeds since about 4 months (we EFF)

As I was reading, it seems many babies have significantly scaled down the # of feeds during the day by 8-9 months but we are still feeding approx every 3 hours.  For a total of 5 feeds (3 bottles & 2 feeds with Stage 2 foods)..... should we be weaning him off a feed?  I'm confused about the next step when it comes to food/feeding?!
