Meal times -9 month old twins

So I’m a bit stuck on how to adjust my babies’ meal times and up their intake to 3 meals. At the moment they have:

7am- 6 oz bottle
10am - breakfast. Porridge/ toast / water
1pm- lunch - they eat everything really. It’s the equivalent to a pouch each but sometimes homemade.
4pm- 6 oz bottle
7pm-8 oz bottle after bath time

They start nursery soon around 8-5 and I want to make sure they are still getting their milk intake. They love their bedtime bottle and sleep really well. Shall I give them dinner at around 5 and Judy a smaller milk bottle?

I'd give breakfast earlier and give the afternoon bottle earlier and then fit in dinner at 5ish

What meals will they get at nursery?

I agree with pp just move everything earlier. Breakfast when they wake up, lunch at 11:30/12pm. Bottle at 2:30pm/3pm. Dinner at 5pm. Bottle before bed.

If they sleep really well I wouldn't mess with the night time bottle!

I'd move breakfast earlier and have dinner at 5pm. Mine still drains a whole bottle before bed and he has dinner at 6pm.

Nursery meal times are weird anyway so you might find you end with two different schedules so I wouldn't worry too much.

I agree moving breakfast earlier. At 9 months I was doing:-

7am: milk
8am: breakfast
11:30/12: lunch
1:45pm: bottle (before nap)
4:30/5pm: dinner
7pm: milk

I'd go for breakfast no later than 8.30, lunch at 11.30/12 and dinner about 4.45
