Is this OK? Weaning schedule for 6.5 month old

I should know what I'm doing by now as this is DS3, but I'm doubting myself! DS3 is 6.5 months old, started weaning about 2/3 weeks ago. Doing a mix of spoon food & finger food.

As he is DC3, he tends to fit in a lot more with the rest of the family than the others had to.

Routine atm goes as follows:

7/7.30am - 1/2 weetabix or 6 heaped baby spoons baby porridge, made with formula. 7oz bottle
11.15 - 9 oz bottle
12.30 - couple of crusts of toast while I eat lunch (others eat at school/preschool)
4pm - 9 oz bottle
5/5.30 - Heaped dessert spoon veg puree/scrambled egg etc OR little pot yoghurt.

I have yet to introduce fruit purees, will be doing that this week now that we are into a good routine with schools.

Does this sound OK? TIA

My DD is 5.5 months old and we started weaning about 3 weeks ago. I'm in the process of stopping bf so she currently has a mix of bf and formula. Her routine is roughly:
6.30am wake up, bf
9am nap (45 mins to 90 mins)
10.30 bf
11.30 some kind of veg mush
12.30 nap (90 mins)
2.30 7oz milk
4.30 fruit or veg puree and approx 4oz milk
6pm bath
6.30 7oz milk
7pm asleep
11pm 7oz milk dream feed

I keep wondering if she's having too much milk but she still seems hungry for it! should also probably introduce breakfast but because we started weaning early I'm hesitant to go full steam ahead too soon. This is DC2 and I thought i should know what I'm doing, but finding it hard to fit all the meals into the day with sleeps etc too!
