Six times a day of nursing at 9 months feels like a lot to me. By the time we were really ramping up solids, we were down to four bottles a day. So we already had four standard "meals" of bottles during the day - 8am breakfast, noon lunch, 4:30pm snack, 7pm dinner. I think by the time we were at 9 months, he was eating solids after all of those bottles, and he's had those same meal and snack times ever since (he's 16 months old now) though after a year we slowly moved from bottles to a sippy of milk with the solids.
