Advice on weaning schedule/routine (breast milk + purees + finger food)

I've just this week started weaning my 6m old breastfed baby. I'd like to aim for a target feeding schedule to help give me some routine (but prepared to be flexible too). Can you tell me if this sounds ok/too much/too little and how you would tweak it?

I will introduce the three meals slowly, this is a routine I'd try to get to in 4 or so weeks from now by which point he'd be 7m.

7am - BF

9am - baby rice / baby cereal / toast / yogurt

11am - BF

1pm - veg purée and finger foods

3pm - BF

6pm - BF and purée

7pm (bedtime) - BF

I think that’s fine if it works. Basically you’ll want to continue to feed milk on demand at the same times as always and then just squeeze in food whenever you have time. Mine is 9 months, but our day looks like this.

Wake up - BF (usually 7/7:30am)
9-10am - breakfast (after the school run when I eat my breakfast)
11am-12pm - BF and nap
2pm - lunch
4pm - snack
5pm - BF (sometimes another nap)
6:30pm - dinner
8pm - BF and bed

Basically I BF him when he’s hungry or tired and offer food at convenient times, like when we eat or the snack is when my dd has her afternoon snack.
