Starting my Baby a proper routine but I'm struggling on if I'm feeding his too much or if he's getting enough sleep he's a big baby he's just over 5 months old we was on an 8oz bottle usually every 4 hour and this has been his routine for a few days the portions of food are about half a sashes of the small elles kitchen.

Wake up at 6:30 - morning bottle
Breakfast at 7:30 - porridge- baby rice
Nap at 9 o'clock for about 45 minutes
Bottle - half 10/11
Lunch at 12 - carrot
Nap - 3 o'clock for about an hour
Bottle - 4 o'clock
Dinner at 5 o'clock - sweet potato and chocolate pudding bath with a tiny bit of boiled water added
Bath at - 7
Bed at - 8

Any advice on anything

A 5 month old doesn't need 3 meals a day or chocolate pudding

I agree with PP, I don’t think he needs 3 meals a day at his age. I started weaning at 5 months (on the advice of a paediatrician due to reflux) and I was only giving her one meal a day to start with - she only went onto 3 meals at 8 months.

Also at 5 months mine was having 3 naps a day so her routine was something like, it varied a lot though:-

5am: bottle (night feed)
8am: woke
9am: bottle
10am: nap (45 mins - 1hour)
12pm: bottle
1pm: solids (just a few spoonfuls of baby rice mixed with veg puree)
1:30pm: nap (45 mins)
3:30pm: bottle
4pm: nap (30 mins)
6pm: Bath, bottle, bed for 7.

5 months old is far too early to be on 3 meals a day. My daughter is just coming up 9 months and I'm just starting to introduce a 3rd meal.
Please don't give a 5 month old chocolate pudding!!! It's far too sugary and so unnecessary. Just give fresh fruit and vegetables.
