You are already doing the best thing possible for your baby by breastfeeding him. If he's been on solids for this long, he should probably be getting three meals a day. My kids got breakfast (oatmeal cereal and fruit), lunch (mixed cereal and a vegetable) and dinner (mixed cereal and meat/vegetable). Fill in all the gaps with breastfeeding. Do NOT give him cow's milk, since this is difficult for a baby under a year to digest (you can ask your pediatrician, he/she will say the same thing). Formula is definitely not necessary and I would not recommend giving formula to any baby who has breastmilk available. Breastmilk is FAR superior to formula (even the formula companies admit to this, it's a scientific fact, not an opinion), for a multitude of reasons. Try pumping in the morning for a little bit of milk to add to your baby's cereal or other foods. Your breastmilk will provide anything else your baby needs that he lacks in his regular diet. Good luck!

nicely, each toddler is distinctive of direction; at six month my now-8-month-previous became getting up approximately 7, having breakfast (cereal and fruit and a nil.5 bottle), sleeping from approximately 9-10, having lunch at 11ish (greens and fruit or yogurt and a nil.5 bottle), sleeping from approximately 12-2:30 or so, having an entire bottle for a "snack", having a sprint nap at approximately 5, ingesting dinner at 6/6:30, going to mattress approximately 8pm with a sprint bottle to staggering off his tummy and dozing until 7 the subsequent morning.

Do not add any salt while cooking your own meals, then blend some of it for him. It saves time cooking seperate meals for all ov you. My son (8 months) has everything, spag bol, Roast dinner, obviously nothing spicy but he enjoys the lot. Tonight he even had Blackcurrent Cheesecake (Mixed up) He loves it.
Something you should try is butternut squash, my son loves it soooo much.
I dont add any milk to his meals
Have fun

I used to have this schedule for my son:
Breakfast/snack/lunch/snack/dinner
The times of course will depend on when you wake up and take naps and go to bed at night.
