Scheduling help please!

Tomorrow we're starting a new schedule at daycare since we are increasing the boys to 3 meals a day. I'm not really sure how to incorporate the bottles into the schedule. They are really small so I think they may need more during the day but i'm not sure. They don't really drink too much sometimes only 3 oz.

We figure they'll get food at 9 and 1 (then 6pm when I am home from work).

They usually nap around 10 and 3 and usually get a bottle before they nap.

DH really wants daycare to give them at bottle at 4 as well (since it's easier for him) but i'm not sure they'll even take it.

I'm so torn on how to do this!

Here's my schedule for the boys:

7am: breakfast (food + water)
10am: bottle
1pm: lunch (food + water)
4pm: bottle
7pm: dinner and bottle (food and a bottle)

Some snacks in between.

Originally, they also had a bottle with their breakfast and lunch, but we cut them out around 9mo.

Since your guys are still small, maybe give them a bottle w/ their meals still.

This is our schedule:

7 am: 6-8 oz formula

9:30 am - 3 tbsp cereal/1 jar fruit

11:30am - 6 oz formula

2:30pm - cereal/fruit & veggie mix
small bottle of formula if they are still hungry (our dr said we can give them yogurt/fruit at this feeding, but they had a reaction to it so we are waiting a few months before trying again)

5:00pm - 6 oz formula

6:00pm - meat + grain (ie: rice, cereal, pasta) w/veggie (i make my own dinner for them and freeze it)

8:00 - 6-8 oz formula right before bed
