9 month old feeding schedule

Hi all, after some advice for my 9 month old. He's never had a huge appetite (even for milk) but weaning started well and we've done a combination of spoon fed and BLW. I don't feel he's ever massively hungry for food and a lot of the time he plays with it. Not a worry at the moment but just wondering how to progress in future. Current schedule (ish):
6.30/7am wake & feed (6oz)
8/8.30am breakfast- porridge or toast & fruit
9.15am nap 1hr30
11am feed (6oz)
12.30 lunch- bagel and fruit or pouch
2pm nap 1hr30
3.30pm feed (6oz)
5.30pm dinner (some of what we have or pasta/risotto)
7/7.30pm bottle (7oz) and bed

Writing it out I've realised he does love a routine!!! He's a tired boy so anything past 1.5/2hrs after he wakes is too late to eat. But he doesn't eat much lunch and dinner if any, likely because of the bottles after nap time. Do I swap lunch and the 11am feed? What does your 9 month routine look like?

The aim is to get him nearer to 13.5 floz by 10 months.

Could you try giving breakfast on wake up with a cup of formula or a small bottle?

I'd drop the 11am bottle and replace with a snack and a drink of water. My DS loved his routine and his naps too, which was great but meant getting out and about was limited until he dropped down to 1 post lunch nap. If he's really hungry for lunch you might have to bring it forward a bit for a while. Good luck, looks like a great routine!

Thanks @EndorsingPRActice I was thinking the same thing! Just come back off holiday so getting back to routine first. And yes he loves his sleep! What sort of snacks did you give?

That's exactly what mine looked like at 9 months except bf instead of bottles.

I swapped the 11am for a snack at 11 months and then the mid-afternoon one for a cow's milk at 12 months
