Feeding schedule for 8 and half month old, any ideas?

Hi, this is a typical routine what my baby eats a day.

9am wake up- farex with mashed fruit and milk (i put 8 tablespoons of farex in bowl with 4 ice cubes of fruit mixed with milk)
11am - sometimes will drink milk 100ml, or 10mls
2pm - lunch 3 baby jars, either 3 vegies, or 1 jar vegies with 2 custard jars, or 2 oatmeal jar with 1 custard tin or muesli jar mixed.
5pm - drinks between 100ml-200ml milk
7pm - dinner - 8 ice cubes mashed food e.g meat with vegies, or 4 ice cubes lumpy food of brocoli, cauliflower with mashed food, or rice with mashed food, also slice bread toasted.
9pm - 100ml of milk bedtime.

Does this seem like good food or routine, or give me some ideas.
My baby is skinny in the 5th percentile, and very active though. He is crawling everywhere and pulls him self up to standing.

I have been told my baby is small by a few ppl, so i am thinking of ideas to make him put on weight ?

Sample menu for babies 9 months to 1 year
Remember that this is a guideline - all babies are different!
Breakfast of milk, infant cereal with milk and toast.
Teatime with some soft fruit
Lunch of a sandwich, a fruit and milk
Afternoon snack of baby biscuits
Dinner of a small serving of meat, chicken or fish or egg, vegetables, custard and milk
Before bed, give milk again.

I agree with emaKate. your bubs do eat a lot. Im lucky to get my 8mth old to eat a tub of yoghurt all day. She is really bad! can anyone help me with a routine to stop her from getting up at 4am everyday ready to party!!!!!

Hi,

I am new to this website and any help would be grateful.

My daughter eats solids 3 times a day is on 5 bottles still of 150mls.

up @ 6.30am & Bottle
Breakfast @ 8am (Weetbix or toast)
Sleep @ 10am
Up @ 12pm
Lunch (Custard & fruit or muesli & fruit or tin spaghetti)
Bottle @ 2pm
Nap @ 3.30pm
Up @ 4.30pm & Bath
Dinner (mashed vegies)
Bottle @ 7.30pm
Bed @ 8pm

Sometimes my daughter is up at 5.30 - 6am. If this is the case she always goes down for an hour nap after her bottle.

Has anyone got any new ideas of what I could giver her for lunch. This is my 3rd but there is 10years between my last 2.

Wow my 8 month old is not eating anywhere near that much and he is little but it never occured to me to be worried about his weight....I think it sounds like your bub has a fantastic appetite,as long as he is healthy and continuing to grow I wouldnt be too concerned :)
