Getting to three meals....

Hi.Can anyone please give me advice as to how to get my DD to 3 meals?
Current routine:
Wake up at 5am....bottle, then back to sleep.
8am porridge/breakfast
10am snack
12.30 Lunch
3pm, Milk
5pm Milk and bed.

She falls asleep on the 5 pm bottle then sleeps through to 5am. (Which is great, the total opposite of my first DD, so I really don't want to upset this routine!)

But I would like to get her having 'tea' at some point. She is 7.5 months old.
Any advice appreciated!

I don't think you can until she is awake a bit more in the evening so she can have an evening meal

Rather than milk at 5pm could you try a little food, then follow with a bottle after, if it disturbs the sleep routine you can always revert to the above.
Annabel Karmel has a good meal planner to getting to 3 meals, will try and post a picture of it.
