What does your 7.5mo's bf-ing day look like?

In the mornings DD wants to feed (both sides) every 3 hours... Afternoons she can go a little longer about 3.5-4 hours. We're doing BLW and just this past week she's been swallowing more food for the first time.... So today has been:

4:45am feed (first wake from bed at 7:10)
7am feed
10am feed

I'd really like to bf at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 6:30pm with solids at 8am, 12pm and 5pm but there's no way shell go from 7-11 without a feed! And I'm thinking that if She bfs at 7,10, 1, 4 and 6.30 she'll be too full to get any solids down!

I guess I'm happy to go with her flow but just wondering what others are doing at what feels like this inbetweeny stage!

DD is also 7.5mnths. At the moment her bf is approximately:

4.45
6.00
11.00
15.30
18.30

She is currently alternating night feeds between sleeping through, to waking up at around 3.00 for a feed. She doesn't like to stick to a strict routine lest I get complacent. Hope this is of interest/use

If I remember correctly (DS is 2 now) it was something like:

5am-7am - clusterfeed in bed
8am - breakfast
9.30am - bf and nap
12pm - lunch
1pm - bf and nap
4pm - bf
5pm - tea
7pm - bf and bed
10.30pm - bottle

I don't think he dropped to 4 feeds a day til nearer 10-11 months, when it was morning/before am nap/before pm nap/bedtime and he was having 3 good meals and an afternoon snack.

Ok thanks all!

Her total feeds today were at 4:45, 7am, 10am, 2pm, 4:30pm and 6:30pm. (perhapa the hear made her thirstier?) She had solids at 8am, 2:45pm and 6pm so no surprise she wasn't that interested in the 6:30 bedtime feed... Will be interesting to see how far through the night she'll go tonight!!!

Happy to feed as often as she wants really but want to get a good food and nap routine going so need to figure out how to fit it all in!!
