LO is 6 months old and she is on solids and she still nurses. I have played around with a few different schedules but I haven't found a concrete one to go with yet. What is a good schedule for a 6 month old as far as feeding goes for solids and breastfeeding? I want to make sure she still nurses enough.

Not sure about schedule, but at 6 months I think I was giving my LO a taste of solids 3x a day (breakfast lunch dinner) and nursed her afterwards.
She wasn't into solids for a looooooong while (past 12 months). So she got a lot of bm. -
DS is almost 6m and we started cereal at around 5.5 months. Here is our schedule:
6AM-nurse
9AM-cereal & 3-4oz bottle (cereal first)
12PM-5-6oz bottle
3:30PM-cereal & 3-4oz bottle (cereal first)
6:30-cereal or puree or smooshed up whatever we're eating
7PM-nurse
10PM-nurse
1-2AM-nurseAlthough he is taking less in the bottles during the time he has cereal we upped his middle of the day bottle so he gets the same amount of BM as when he wasn't eating solids. We just added in the third solids because he was pretty much trying to attack DH and I while we were eating our dinner.

I gave LO two meals a day until 7 months and gave them about 45 minutes after a nursing session.

I always did a nursing session and then solids about an hour later. At 6mo I offered breakfast and now at 8mo we are just incorporating a daily lunch. Next month I will start to offer dinner consistiently.
He still drinks 3-4 bottles a day (4oz each). We nurse 1x in the morning before I leave for work and then usually 2x when I get home + 1 overnight feeding. Boy loves his mama milk!
