4 M/O Feeding schedule if BF

I'm trying to figure out if I should increase Gavins OZ during the day so he sleeps better at night. He currently is EBF and goes to daycare. This is his "Schedule"

7:30 wake up
8:30 BF
11:00am 4 1/2 oz Bottle of BM at daycare
1:30 same as above
4:00pm same as above
6:30pm BF
8:30 BF to bed

Then he wakes up between 2-3x a night to eat. What am I doing wrong.

P.S. he will be transitioning to formula for the bottles during the day..should I increase his OZ to 5.5???

Re: 4 M/O Feeding schedule if BF

DS still cannot take more than 5 oz per feeding.

So far

- 3am: BF for a few minutes
- 5-6am (depending on the days): BF for a few minutes
- 9am: 5 oz bottle
- 12-1pm: 5 oz bottle
- 4-5pm: 5 oz bottle
- 7-8pm: 5oz bottle
- BF for a few minutes before going to bed.

I increased Milan's OZ at night and he does sleep longer. However, he also gets cereal with fruit at night. Now he sleeps like 7 hours.

Here is his schedule although it can vary:

6:30-7am: Bottle 4.5 oz
11am: Cereal/fruit and Bottle 4oz
2-3pm: Bottle 4.5 oz
6:30pm-7:30pm: Cereal w/fruit and Bottle 4 oz or sometimes BF him when i come home from work
10:30pm: 5 oz bottle

He goes to bed at 10:30pm b/c i live in PA and have to travel from my moms house in Queens b/c she watches him.
