Well, I'm English, and my dd still has 5 bfs per day and is 9 months old! Yup, she eats about every 2 hours, little and often, here's our routine:
07:30 bf
09:00 mashed fruit & yogurt
11:00 EBM (if I'm at work) or bf
12:30 finger foods, mashed fruit & yogurt
15:00 EBM or bf
16:45 finger foods, mashed fruit & yogurt
18:30 bf
23:00 - 02:00 bf
At 6 months, when we started her on solids, it was just mashed fruit and rice cakes at lunch time, gradually this routine emerged at her pace. Dd#1 (2 years 10 months) still eats every 2 hours, virtually the same as her little sister, only she has a snack rather than a milk feed at 11:00 and 15:00 hours!
HTH?
