at 6 months my ds had 4 milk feeds in the day and one at night. I gave the solids approx 1 hour after milk so he still took some of each e.g.

7am -milk
8am - breakfast
11am - milk
12pm - lunch
3pm - milk
5pm - dinner
7.15pm - milk
sometimes in the night - milk

How much solids are you giving? I started with tiny amounts and slowly increased it as ds's appetitie increased

My DD's (9 months) routine has not changed much since she was 6 months - apart from upping the quantity of food. I do the following:

8ish - breakfast followed by bottle.
12/1 ish - lunch
2.30/3ish - bottle before nap
4.30/5ish - tea
7ish - bedtime bottle

I used to give the daytime bottle directly after lunch but she hardly had any. Now I give it to her just before her nap she has nearly all 7oz. I am thinking about doing the same with her morning bottle actually as shes not having much so may change to give before morning nap.

When I first started weaning DD she was not that interested in milk. I think they go through phases of not being bothered then really wanting it again so try not to worry.
