Feeding on schedule?

Question

Are you mommas still feeding your little on a schedule through the day? We’ve been letting out little sleep through the night (8hrs) and today we started her on all formula (before she was getting 1/2 bm & 1/2 formula) but today she only ate 1 1/2 oz this morning, 5 oz a few hours after, 3 oz a few hours after that, then 5 1/2 oz around 4 & its time for her to eat again, but she’s sleeping. I’m just wondering if you guys are feeding on demand or if you’re sticking to a schedule?

Answer

My son is formula fed and since around 4 weeks we started feedings every 4 hours during the day, and then as needed during the night. He started at 4 oz per daytime feeding and now at 8 weeks is at 5 to 6 oz per daytime feeding. He usually sleeps 7:30 to 4:00 and then I give him 3 oz to hold him over until his first day bottle at 7 am. The schedule makes our lives soooo much easier. We still have crazy days and nights but starting him on a schedule really helped us.

Answer

I exclusively breastfeed on demand which is typically every 1-2 hours. He sometimes sleeps one 3-hr stretch ar night and i dont wake him.

Answer

Depends. My son sleeps from about 8pm to 6 or 7am. He has between 30-36oz per day. And I wait for his cues to show me when he’s hungry and full. It tends to be about the same times per day but I don’t really have a schedule for him.

Answer

Every 3-4 hours, he’s still demanding at that level. Drinking 4oz at 9 weeks.

Answer

It honestly depends. I feed on a schedule for the most part. But if she does sleep through a feeding I just feed her when she wakes up and figure out timing from there. Every day is different though on the times she eats (it is every 3 hours) because she isn’t very consistent with sleep at night. Some nights she only does 5 hours and then the next she might do 7. So it all depends when she has that feeding early in the morning. She goes to bed around 930/10 and so I always make sure that bottles line up so she can have that last bottle before bed. And then she wakes anywhere from 3-430 am usually for a bottle.

Answer

On demand, which during the day is every 2-3hrs. At night she’ll go 630 to 1/2am, then  5/6am.

Answer

Feeding on a schedule: 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm.  Used to feed on demand in between as needed but she doesn’t need to anymore and sleeps through the night.  Only once in a blue moon do I have to feed her in between schedule times

Answer

I feed on a schedule but with a little wiggle room. She formula fed and eats about every 3.5 to 4 hours during the day. She takes a bottle about 9:45 pm then i wake her up 3:30 am. Im going to try cutting that night bottle this weekend and see if she sleeps through
