Curious to see what your feeding schedule for your infant is. If possible, could you include nursing/bottle, as well as solids and snacks. Thanks!

My 7 month olds schedule:
(note: he's a tank - a bottomless pit)
7:30am - 8oz bottle
10am - 1/2 - 1 jar of baby food
11:30am 8oz bottle
12pm - puffs or something while his older brother is eating lunch
3:30pm 8oz bottle
5pm - 1/2 jar of purees, table foods for a little BLW
7:30pm 8oz bottle -
Our 9 month old has 4 bottles a day (around 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 9pm). These bottles are each around 9oz.
I try to feed 2 meals of purées each day (although sometimes we only get 1). They are usually sometime between the 6pm/9pm bottles and the 10am/2pm bottles although I'm not as particular about a schedule for those. She usually eats an entire jar/tub of puree each meal.
I have a jar of Puffs sitting on my coffee table so she'll randomly get a handful of those throughout the day. I will also feed her random bites of my foods.

My 9 month old's schedule:
6:30am - nurse
7:15am - cheerios/yogurt
9:00am - 6oz bottle
12:00pm - 6 oz bottle
1:00pm - Lunch (we do BLW so usually small pieces of whatever we had for dinner the night before)
3:00pm - 6oz bottle
5:30pm - Dinner (again, pieces of whatever we're eating)
6:00pm - nurse -
My 9 month old gets a bottle at about 7 (4 ounces); 10; 2; 5; 8 (8 ounces). He gets a jar of pureed food at 9; 12; and 7. Sometimes we will sub the jar of food for finger food.

She's not on a set schedule, and we probably don't do as much solids as we should, but roughly- 4-6oz (milk or formula) before each nap (so 3 times per day). If anything is left she finishes it when she wakes up, so really just 6-ish 3 times per day. Solids in the evening, we're doing some purées and some baby led weaning type stuff, so it totally varies. She has a few ounces of milk here and there (I try to keep a bottle available since she only recently started consistently doing most of her eating before naps), probably 2-4 over the course of the day. Another big bit before bed, usually 6-8. And 4-6 throughout the night.
So say 30-35 oz per 24 hours, mostly before sleeping.

At 8-9 months, DS was scaling back on his milk a lot. We prepped 4-5oz bottles, 4 times a day, but we'd be lucky if he took like 12-16oz total during the day.
730am - 3-4oz bottle, followed by 2-3oz of solids (usually some homemade mash of rice, veggies, broth, meat). We put out some food on the tray for self-feeding like puffs, bananas, or blueberries.
12pm - 3-4oz bottle, followed by 2-3oz of solids - same deal as breakfast, although we might try a different kind of mash. We also offered some yogurt at this meal along with some fruit and puffs for self-feeding.
4:30pm - 3-4oz bottle, followed by the same routine as lunch.
730pm - 3-4oz bottle before bed.
During the day, we had snack traps of puffs, Cheerios, and yogurt melts and straw cups of water that he had access to while playing.

Good question, I keep doubting myself. DD is just shy of 8 months and our day generally looks like this:
7am - nurse
8am - 2-3 T oatmeal, 4 oz puree
11am - 4 oz bottle bm (daycare)
12pm - 2-3 oz puree
2pm - 4 oz bottle bm (daycare)
4pm - nurse
5pm - 4 oz puree
6:30pm - nurse
3-4am - nurseSo she nurses or gets a bottle 6 times a day, and has three meals. Sometimes we will also give her some finger food to practice, but she doesn't have much luck getting it in her mouth yet.

I wanted to chime in because my LO eats a lot more solids than most here. He eats the equivalent of about 1/2 piece bread, 1 clementine, and 15 blueberries at each meal. He always has access to a water cup.

My LO has been slow to solids so we're working on that. But so far, we've worked up to the following:
4am - nurse
7 am - nurse
8:30 - 2oz greek yogurt mixed with 2 oz puree and thickened with some oatmeal
10 am - 4 oz bottle
1 pm - 4 oz bottle
At some point between 12 and 2 they'll give him some of whatever school had for lunch that day
3 pm - 4 oz jar/pouch
4 pm - 4 oz bottle
6 pm - a little of what we're having for dinner
7 pm - nurse before bedHe mostly just plays with the "real" food but I want him to start getting used to new flavors and textures.
