Too much solid at almost 10 months?

Hi all,
Little one will be 10 months old in a couple of weeks and has increasing disinterest in her bottles. We are down to only 20oz of breastmilk a day (5 - 4oz bottles) and even then she doesn't always finish them. This is what her schedule looks like:
wake up (6:30-7:00): 4oz bottle
8:00- 3-4 TBSP fruit
9:30: 4oz bottle
NAP
11:30: 2-3 TBSP oatmeal, 2-3 TBSP veggies
1:30: 4oz bottle
NAP
3:30: 4oz bottle
5:00: protein , 2-3 TBSP veggies and/or fruit
6:45: 4oz bottle
Pediatrician said she should be getting 3 meals a day of solid foods and even snacks! I don't give her any solid snacks and I'm concerned I'm giving her too much solids? I keep reading that BM should be primary source of nutrition for first year, but she definitely seems more interested in the solids than she is in the bottles. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I forgot to mention, I do try to sneak in a few ounces with her solids. I make her oatmeal with breastmilk and mix it in with her veggies if I can.
I think it is alright as long as LO is active and growing well. My bubs have the complete opposite problem. He is turning 1 end of this month and is still demanding milk. He takes anywhere from 35-40oz of milk a day. On a good day, he takes 4 teaspoon of solid per day with a little snack here and there. I tried everything. But he will seal his mouth shut and demands milk.
That's a good point about the nursing. I liked that I knew exactly how much she was eating, but yeah, if I was nursing I'd have no idea. Thanks for the feedback!
