What's your day routine / sleep & feeds for 7.5 month old?

Some days we are 3 naps and some days 2.

We don't really have a routine and I breastfeed on demand so I can't give set timings but I guess there is a rough pattern most days:

Wake anywhere between 8am - 10am
Breakfast
Breastfeed
Nap around 2-3 hours after waking up - this is usually a short one of 30-40 minutes
Lunch
Breastfeed
Nap around 2-3 hours after waking up from last nap - this is usually a longer nap of 1-1.5 hours
Dinner
Breastfeed
Bed 3 hours after waking up from last nap. Sometimes earlier or later depending on last nap length or if sleepy signs start.

As you can see, it's very vague! Some days it goes out the window because I will breastfeed before AND after solids, or maybe before instead of after. I just go with what baby wants really.

I often feel like I'm doing it completely wrong and should have set routine to stick to but we are crap at waking up at the same time everyday so I think I would fail miserably.

What do you do?

When my lo was that age I did approx

730am breakfast
830am bottle.
9am rest of bottle. My lo likes 2 sittings for her bottles. She won't have it different I have tried. So I go with flow. Stoll like it at 10 months old.
9am nap
10am awake. Yes I woke her as helped early mornings of 5am 💤
1030am snack.
1130 lunch.
1230pm milk
1pm milk
1pm sleep
230pm awake
3pm snack sometimes milk depended really. Sometimes she refused milk so I did everything before her next nap or she wouldn't sleep as she was hungry.
430pm dinner
445 approx sleep. Awake by 515pm
6pm snack on our dinner
730pm milk
755pm milk
8pm bed

I must admit I found this stage a bit bitty for me as needed 3 naps but it was fitting it all in and making sure she weren't hungry. Some people do lunch at midday and then nap and give the 2nd bottle after nap. Personally when I did this my lo didn't sleep as long then if I gave a bottle. Still like it now.

I found when she went to 2 naps it was more of of routine. She went to 2 naps just after 8 months as the 3rd nap was getting to late and she wasn't going to sleep until 530pm
