Your meal time schedules?

Hello everyone. I'm currently trying to incorporate meal times into my 8 month olds day. Currently I am introducing solids at breakfast (about an hour after her morning milk) and dinner (between her late afternoon and pre-bedtime milk) but I'm having such trouble sticking to the same times, particularly with the later one.
Her naps are so unpredictable in times and length that I don't know how to go about finding the appropriate time each day, as I don't want to give her solids too close to her bedtime milk or too soon after her late afternoon milk.
(She has four bottles in a day, all 6oz.)
How does your daily feeding look, so I have some idea on what I should be looking at doing?
Thanks all!

It's been a while since mine were babies but I don't think you have to be too strict on times at this age?

Both of mine had lunch if they were awake, if they were fast asleep we'd just skip it.

If you want to start offering dinner at a set time, I'd perhaps not worry too much if it's too close to her afternoon bottle. It doesn't matter if she eats much at this age and you'll probably be dropping that bottle soon anywayWink
