Will this work? Routine for 6 month old and some questions.

So my lo is 6months and nearly 2 weeks has been weaning for nearly a month now and has recently started to only want 4/5oz of his 7oz bottles and i read he only needs between 20/22oz if hes having 3 meals a day so i thought i woild drop a bottle and hopefully he would finish more of the other 4 and get about 25oz a day.

He has a milk allergy so is on neocate and cant have a lot of things like yogurt and porridge.

So the routine im thinking is:

6am bottle
then back to sleep
up at 8.30
9am weetabix for breakfast with 2oz of milk
10am bottle
10.15/10.30am nap for 1/1.5 hours 11.30am/12noon
1pm lunch some veg and fruit for pudding
2pm bottle
2.15/2.30 nap for 1/1.5 hours until 3.30/4pm
5pm dinner chicken, potato and veg mixed together
6/7pm bottle
7.30 bed after bath

So does that sound ok?

Will he be getting enough sleep during the day?

Is he awake too long in between naps? especially after he wakes up which will be 2 hours and before he goes to bed which will be 3.5/4 hours?

Atm he has half a weetabix with 2oz of milk does this sound enough? Should he have a whole weetabix? and how much milk? 4oz? or should i give him a pudding with breakfast?

And should i give him a pudding with dinner too? if so what? more fruit?

Should he being eating snacks yet? if so what? Is a bit of melon or cucumber or quarter/half a banana enough?

Should i give him a bottle then his food or the food first?

Is 6pm too long bed to give him his last feed if bedtime is 7.30?

Thanks for you help and sorry for all the questions xxx
