Eating Schedule for 8 month old babies?

I've been trying to increase what and how often Hailey eats (she will be 8 months next week) I make her food am looking for new ideas and an idea of a good schedule to follow. Any ideas/input is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Re: Eating Schedule for 8 month old babies?

My DD at 8 months

wake 7:30am 6oz bottle
Breakfast 9am-Oatmeal and 1 stage 2 fruit
Nap 10am
11:30am-6oz bottle
1pm Lunch-Oatmeal and 1 stage 2 veggie
2pm Nap
3:30pm 6oz bottle
7pm-7oz bottle and bed

I only do two meals a day-I had to cut dinner out cause she woudn't drink her nighhtime bottle and then wake up hungry.

She also eats Puffs and cheerios for snack when she's at the table with us for meals.

ETA: We started meats with lunch at the end of the 8th month and they hurt her tummy, we'll revisit again at 9 months
