How much milk when weaning?

Okay, I've done this before but it's such a blur. dd1 was very easy to read but dtds are so different.

So far this is where we are at 6.5 months:

6-7am - bf

8-9am - breakfast (cereal or fruit puree)

10.30-11am - 7oz bottle

3pm - bf (but this keeps changing and dtd1 has gone without completely a few times)

4.30pm - veg puree and finger foods (toast, rice cakes, steamed carrot)

7pm - bedtime bottle 7oz

I'm not sure when to introduce lunch. They often sleep from 11.30/12 for 2 hours, by which time it's nearly their dinner time when they wake up. I don't think they need it yet but when they do, I just don't know where to squeeze it in. I'm also worried by how little milk they are having. It's suddenly dropped and bf are short or simply comfort sucking for teething so my milk feels non-existent. I considered swopping morning bottle for breast but actually feel ready to stop bfing as it's been a 6.5month battle and I'm pretty much done but don't wanty to force a bottle on them as they always drain them completely)

It should be milk before solids for the first year, and they don't need lunch untill around 9months so you've go lot's of time to worry about that yet.
