Feeding Schedules?

Question

My LO will be 2 months tomorrow and I want to try and get him into a better feeding schedule - he's formula fed! So far he just eats little bits here and there all day, and will kind of do the same at night, which only gives me a two or three hour sleep stretch at a time. How do I go about starting a more set schedule to help him sleep more at night?

Answer

Is baby falling asleep during the feeds? Therefore they only taking short feeds!!
 
My first born was demand feeding at diary and I found he would have milk most of the day then have a last feed around 11pm and sleep till 5am the next. That worked until I put him on solid food.

I found this info online. It may or may or help.

SUMMARYEvery baby is different and their appetites vary massively. The table below provides a general guide to how often and how much you should feed your baby, relative to their age.
Your baby’s feeding habits may not match these guidelines precisely, and rarely will they wake exactly three hours after the previous feed is finished. As long as they are feeding well and gaining weight normally, they are probably getting the amount they need.
If your baby is premature or of a low birth weight, their feeding requirements will be different. Your midwife will be able to advise you about your baby’s unique needs.Feeding guide 0–12 months
Your baby may need more or less than the amounts shown in the table below – this is simply a guide. Never leave your baby alone during feeding.

Important
To ensure your baby’s milk is mixed to the right proportions, always use the scoop provided. Please note, the colour of the scoop may change from time to time.

How to time feeds
Feeds should be timed from the moment they start. In the early days, feeding can take as long as an hour and they’ll need around 6 feeds per day. Once your baby becomes more efficient at feeding, they’re likely to get quicker.
To measure the time between feeds, start from the beginning of one feed until the beginning of the next. For example, if you begin feeding your baby at 11am, then you would probably expect them to be hungry again at about 2pm.
