tell me your feeding schedule for 10 month old

My son has been fighting me on drinking bottles.  He is only drinking like 3 oz at a time, and it is taking me 30 minutes to get him to drink those 3 oz.  I don't know what it going on.  Took him to doctor and she said he doesn't want the bottle, and to give him milk in a cup.  I am just wondering what is your feeding schedule and how much are your kids actually drinking?  Thanks so much!  Also, any tips for the sippy or straw cup?  He doesn't seem to get it yet.

    DD isn't even 9 months yet so I don't have much advice about the formula thing, but I was doing some reading on the sippy cup last night and I read to take off the spill proof plastic piece and then give your LO the cup. It makes a big mess so I only put water in it and I put a rubber bib on her and a dish towel on her lap. It's definitely helping my DD get the hang of using a cup.

    Starting tomorrow I have decided to make all of her 7oz bottles, 6oz bottles. 

    7:00 - 7oz bottle (she will drink about 5)

    9:30 - 5oz bottle + oatmeal + fruit (I use 1oz to make her oatmeal, and she will usually leave an oz)

    12:30 - 5oz bottle + fruit + vegetable (again, she will leave an oz)

    4:00 - 7oz bottle

    6:00 - oatmeal + vegetable + whatever we are eating

    7:00 - 7oz bottle (1oz makes her oatmeal for dinner, so more like a 6oz)

    I think she averages 21oz a day...sometimes a bit more or less.

    8:30/9ish am: 7 oz bottle 10:30/11ish am: 1/2 cup oatmeal mixed with 3oz formula and fruit 2:30: Lunch, usually 1 6oz stage 3 food, or 2 stage 2 tubs or some table food depending on his mood 5:30: dinner. Usually a 6oz stage 3 food and a 4oz yogurt 7:30: 7oz bottle I have been trying to get DS to eat more table food, but he is not quite ready. He will eat things lime mashed potatoes, well cooked pasta, etc but usually only if I spoon feed him. Chunkier table foods he spits right back out, but I usually at least offer something for every meal then resort to the baby food. I dropped DS from 4 daily bottles to 3 about 2 months ago and upped his solids intake. He started dropping his afternoon bottle himself, I would make it and he would either fight me or only drink an ounce so now I won't even make it. He is still getting about 14-17oz a day with what I make his cereal with and that is enough according to my pediatrician.

    My DD is 9.5 months.  A typical day is:

    6:30 am - 7 oz formula
    9:00 am - breakfast
    12:00 pm - lunch
    3:00 pm - 7 oz formula
    6:00 pm - dinner
    8:00 pm - 7 oz formula

    I feel like we are feeding her all day long but if we do formula and meal at the same time she doesn't eat much.  Breakfast is usually cereal + fruit but she also eats pancakes and a lot of yogurt.  Lunch and dinner depends on what we are eating.  She eats about 1/2 table food and 1/2 baby food at this point. She would much rather feed herself so it is hard to get her to take all baby food for any meal. 

    When DD started not finishing her bottles we went from four 6 oz bottles to three 7 oz bottles and started using sippy cups instead.  She is now doing great.  When I first tried the sippy cup a month or so ago she hardly got anything out of it.  Just keep trying!

    5:00pm  Dinner (leftovers of our dinner previous night, a sliced fruit or veg, a protein)

    6/6:30am- bottle

    8- breakfast (pancakes, waffles, toast, english muffins, eggs, nutrigrain bar, sometimes fruit purees because he generally refuses all fruits)

    9:30- bottle/nap

    11:30/12- lunch (pasta, grilled cheese, leftovers from previous night's dinner, sandwich cut into small squares)

    2pm- bottle/nap

    4pm- snack (animal crackers, ritz, graham crackers, anything really)

    5:30- dinner (whatever we're having)

    7:30- bedtime/bottle

    He doesn't take a ton at each bottle- he only takes in about 16 oz a day, but he's a big boy, so the pedi isn't concerned.
