Weaning reflux baby help!

Hi mums,
So i have a 5 month of ds and have started weaning him on puree. Home made veg and fruit initially and hes been taking it really well.
I have been giving him a few spoons of puree first, then about 10 mins later his formula.
I know i am aiming for 3 meals a day plus snacks. Just wondered what my routine could be. At the mo its;

7am - porride
7.15 - 8 oz formula
1030 - fruit puree
11.00 - 8 oz formula
2.30 - veg puree
3.00 - 8 oz formula
7.00 - 8oz formula then bed.

This is working well, but the 1030 feed is too early for lunch, and the 2.30 feed too early for tea but im struggaling to work it round the routine. Any ideas?
Giving puree first a specialist told me will help push is tummy down holding the milk better which to be fair it does.
Also - at the mo i am only giving him a few spoons of puree as i dont want him filling up on say sweet potato then not wanting his formula - but he often wants more when i stop. When can i start increasing the puree and just giving him as much as he wants?!
Thanks!!!

If he wants more give him more I think. If weaning is going well then just go with it :) I think he is too young to over-eat. Generally babies self-regulate on food and milk until around 18months-2years. So if you increase food, you can still offer milk until it naturally dwindles. Try some rusks etc too :)

Good Luck
