Please share your 9 month olds food/bottle schedule!

We are in a transitional period right now where she just started eating more "real food" (not pouches/jars) and since the food is provided by the daycare and included in the price I'm paying, I'm taking advantage of it! Breakfast, lunch, and PM snack are served at set times. Trying to figure out if I should try to get DD on their food schedule (since she'll eventually have to be), or just ask the teacher to hold off on giving her their food so that it fits with her current feeding times. Thanks!

I usually just follow daycare's lead. I figure they know what they're doing. On weekends, however, we do not rigidly follow a schedule and just use that as a guide.

We never did a schedule like that. Daycare does their thing, we do ours.

DD is 8 months old but she's loving solids so that's the majority of what she eats. Her day care provides food, but the babies still follow their own schedules.

I send in jars, yogurts, puffs and melts, but if she can eat the daycare foods, she eats those and the jars are backup. At home, she's basically off jars entirely.

As for a schedule? She has 3-4 bottles a day, 3 solid meals and sometimes a snack. No set schedule. I feed her when she's awake and hungry. Daycare does the same. When she's older, she'll need to eat on their schedule, but that's not for a while still.

By that time ds1 was taking 3 bottles (morning, afternoon, and night), and was also eating 3 meals a day.

Don't put too much pressure on bottle feedings, ur lo will start to take them less and less little by little.
