What time do you give your LO their bottles and how much do they have each feed? What time do you fit meals and naps in around them?

Moving on to formula from ebf and have no idea how to manage a new schedule

My daughters routine is:
6:30am 8oz bottle (usually drinks max 6oz)
7:30 breakfast
9-9:50 first nap
10 8oz bottle (drinks anywhere between 2-5oz of it)
12 dinner
1-2:15 second nap
2:20 8oz bottle (drinks anywhere between 0-5oz)
5 tea
6:30-7 bedtime routine with 8oz bottle (drinks 6oz)
She’s been formula fed from the start and her milk intake is basically random depending on the day but I always offer 8oz at the same times each day x
