We didn't start solids until 6 months, so I'm not sure if what I'm about to say will be relevant at all, haha. BUT we started adding additional meals/snacks on a one month interval. So:

6mo: dinner of solids
7mo: breakfast of solids
8mo: lunch of solids

As he ate more and more for each meal, the amount of milk/formula he drank started to go down naturally - so around 10 months, we started adding a morning snack, and around 11 months, we started adding an afternoon snack. We switched to cow's milk right at a year, but he's otherwise been on the same schedule (3 meals, two snacks) ever since.

Also not the same situation because we didn't start solids until 6 months, but I started off feeding DD solids 1x per day (usually at dinner). After a few weeks I added in a lunch of solids. I'll probably wait another month or so and then we'll start doing breakfast.

The amount she eats isn't really consistent though. We offer a fruit or veggie puree and sometimes she eats it all and other times she eats none of it.

We started solids early with my second because he was small and he was refusing bottles... we did oatmeal mixed with breast milk or formula that was pretty runny at lunchtime to start... made that thicker. then we added veggies to the oatmeal mix after a couple of weeks.

@ShootingStar: that's us too- round the clock eating...breakfast, lunch, pm snack, dinner, and 5 bottles. I'm hoping that LO doesn't get some kind of oral fixation complex. Lol

We didn't start solids until 6 months either, but she's a week short of 8 months and up to 3 meals a day now. As soon as she actually started eating the food i was giving her I added in more meals. So maybe a month of once a day, 2 weeks of twice a day and then on to three times a day. I had hopes it would help her sleep better... nope.
