11 months old feeding schedule

I've recently gone back to work part time and I've noticed my sons routine over the past month or so has completely gone out the window. His 7:30 bed time has now changed to him falling asleep still around that time but then waking after half hour then been up till gone 10.

He still has 4, 7oz bottles of formula a day. One around 8am, 12pm, 4pm then 7(ish). He does have food along side this. I was always told to offer milk first then food but I find that if I do that he messes around with the food and he really ends up not eating much. However if I do it the other way round he'll eat more.

I'm aware at 11 months it would be fine to decrease his milk providing he's getting the nutrients from food and I've considered dropping the 12pm bottle in the hope he'll eat more of a meal around lunch time.

What times do people feed their 11 month olds both food and/or milk? Also what are they eating around those times because I see people posting pictures of fancy meals and I know full well majority of it would end up on the floor 😂

Just to add, majority of his food I allow him to feed himself, it's only the occasional porridge or more blended type foods he'll be fed if I'm in a rush to get us both out the house for work or if I'm back later than usual. He'll eat all of what is being spoon fed to him.

By 12 months my DC were both down to breastfeeding first thing in the morning, before bed and sometimes a small feed or two during the day if they were tired or needed comforting.

I didn't do schedules but it worked out something like this:

Breastfeed in bed with me on waking.
Breakfast (plain yoghurt, toast, fruit, etc.).
Maybe a snack.
Lunch (soup, eggs, sandwich, baked beans, leftovers, etc.).
Maybe a snack.
Tea (pasta and pesto, veggie sausage and mash, curry and rice, etc.).
Bedtime breastfeed.
Breastfeed during the night if they woke.... we stopped this before they were 2 though!

They weren't big nappers, but if cranky would sometimes breastfeed to sleep during the day.
