6 month schedule advice

need some schedule advice for 6 month old. we just started solids last week, but she inhales it. right now this is schedule
6:30- wake and nurse
7:45-3 tablespoons cereal and 1/2 jar fruit
8:30-nap, usually till 10
10:00-6 ounce bottle (BM, i pump)
12:00-nap
1 PM-6 ounce bottle
3:00-nap
4:00-6 ounce bottle
5:00- ceral and 1/2 jar veggie
6:15-nurse, bed by 6:30
two things- i feel like i am feeding her all day, i would like ot consolidate somehow.
also, i would love her to move to 2 naps, she recently started getting up at 6:30, she used to sleep till 7:30, i think it may be too much napping during the day. problem is, she wont nap for more than an hour, so even if i do a nap at 1, she cant make it from 2 till bed. do i jsut wait a few more weeks?
last- i am putting breastmilk in bottles - do you take breastmilk from closest bottle or still offer full bottles?

Re: 6 month schedule advice

i think your schedule sounds good. but if you want to consolidate more, this is what we did:
At 6 months (he's 7 months now), we were giving DS 5 bottles a day with 5 1/2-6 oz every 3 hours, but i noticed that if we didnt offer a bottle at the 3 hour mark, he didn't really ask for it. So one day, i put 7 oz in his first AM bottle (7:00) and then i gave him another 7oz at 11AM and then another 7oz at 3PM and then the last 7oz at 7PM, before he went to sleep. The next day he just got on this schedule, so he was eating pretty much the same amount as before, but it was 4 times a day not 5 times. Also, now some of the bottle hes only drink 6 or 6 1/2 ounces now b/c hes on the baby food, so he more full. If he doesn't want the whole bottle i don't force him b/c he still getting a lot of food b/t the formula and baby food. Also, the times i do the baby food are breakfast at 8:15, lunch at 12, and then dinner at 5:30
