BLW - naps, snacks and all that jazz

My lo is 9 months old, loves all his food and eats like a horse. So where do I go from here. He is currently on 3 meals a day with a main course and pudding and bf when he wakes up, in the am and pm, before bed and all through the night . I am trying to teach him to go to sleep with out a bf inthe day in the hope that this will help at night . So when do I start giving him snacks, at what time, before or after naps, before or after a bf, etc etc

Any examples of other peoples routines might help.

Thanks

Don't know how much this will help, DD is 13 months now and I can just about remember what I did at 9 months!
Wake - BF
8ish - brekkie
10ish - BF (now I give her a snack instead)
12ish - lunch
1ish nap
2-3ish BF and snack
5ish tea

I used to give her a snack of some porridge around half 6, just before her bedtime to help her sleep through but don't bother anymore.

then 7, milk and bed

Oh, and snacks and meals always went after BF as milk is more important than solids at this age.

normally-

8am up and milk
9am breakfast
9.30am nap half hour
(10am sometimes milk if 'demanded', now not at all)
11.30am lunch
12.30 nap half hour
2pm milk plus snack
4.30pm tea
6.30pm last milk and bed at 7pm.

dd's 10 months, the above is basically how it was from 9 months to how it is now. i don't give a morning snack, but she does have an early lunch. i maybe would give a morning snack if she woke up earlier so had longer until lunch.
