at that age I'd do bottles as normal and add in a puree about an hour before bedtime. Then we did it with lunch as well (solids an hour before nap), and when we added in breakfast we did it right after her first nursing/bottle.
At that age ds got bottles throughout the day and purrees at lunch. He is just moving to three meals a day at 9 months. His current schedule is bottle then 1.5 hrs later oatmeal & fruit, then nap then bottle then 1 hour later veggies & fruit then nap then bottle than veggies & cheerios then bottle then bed. With lots of play in there too!

DS is almost 7mo.
Solids -Once a day at most, always at home in the evenings. (We're doing BLW.) We've been slow to start. So far we've only offered every 3-4 days. He always has milk approx. 30 min before solids.
Milk -he has milk a total of 8-10 times a day, this includes a few overnight sessions. (At daycare he takes 3 - 3oz bottles, every 2.5/3hr)
DD is almost 9 months old. She has milk 6x per day- nurse am, 3 bottles at DC, nurse pm, and again before bed.
From 6-7 months, we tried to feed her solids 1x per day around dinner. From 7-8 months, we started adding in "lunch." For the last few weeks, we've been adding in "breakfast."
I just send a bunch of snacks to school with her and they feed her whenever (honestly, I have no clue when). Her nursing/bottle schedule hasn't changed at all yet.
My goal has just been solids 3x per day by 9 months.

I started DS on solids at 4 months, and did at his most awake time of day. When the doctor talked to us about solids at 6 months (i think) he said ds should have at least 24oz per day of milk. If he wasnt drinking that much cut back or change the time you were feeding him. As he ate more we did bottle, solid, bottle, solid, last bottle of of night.
She'll nurse once in the morning (based on my pump output on the other side, I'd say it's 5-6oz) 12-16 oz at daycare (3/4 4oz bottles) Nurse 3 more times at home And when we do solids, it's 1-2oz once per day.
