How many milk feed and solid meals does your 8 month old have? And how did you organise them?

[FiveDollarShake]

I'm curious as to what other people have done or do. My 8 month old DD hasn't had much interest in solids so far, she much prefers a breastfeed. This is fine with me but I'm worried that she should be eating more solids at this age. I know you shouldnt compare but DS was weaned at 4 months (it was the guidelines then) and by 8 months was on 3 meals plus puddings and 3 formula feeds a day. DD's day goes something like this-

Has a BF when she wakes. The time depends on what time she has BF in the night IYKWIM. usually between 7am-8.30am
Then I offer her cereal for breakfast which she usually refuses. Ive tried giving her only one breast at the morning feed so she is hungry for her cereal but makes no difference. If I offer her the cereal later say 10am she'll eat it but then not be ready for her lunch at 12.
She wont usually settle for her nap unless she has BF.
I'll BF her mid afternoon. She has dinner at 5pm which she usually eats with no problems.
I try to BF her at 6.30pm as she goes to bed at 7pm but always has a small feed as probably full from her dinner! Because this last feed is small she nearly always wakes at 10ish and has a big BF. Then usually once during night for small BF.

I dont expect anyone to have the answers but if I had an idea of what other people did it might help me to get her into some sort of routine! I know that BM is the most important for the first year but I would like her to have regular solids even if they're in small amounts.
