Formula Fed Babies If Your Baby STTN (or close to it)....

How frequently do they get bottles during the day?
How many bottles in total do they take throughout the day?

DD isn't technically sleeping through the night, we put her down at 9:15, she'll wake up for a bottle around 5am and the we usually get up for the day around 8:30 or so. But now that she is sleeping longer and missing one or two feedings because of sleep I'm so confused about how frequently I should be feeding her. Before she was sleeping so well I would feed her every 3-4 hours, usually closer to 4, but now that she is sleeping so well I feel like I need to wake her every 3 hours out of a nap just so she can get enough bottles in before bedtime. What are your schedules like if your baby misses night feedings?

DD takes about 28-30 oz of formula/day.

6-6:30am - 5-6 oz
10am - 5-6 oz
1:30-2pm - 5-6 oz
4:30-5pm - 5-6 oz
7:30pm - 5-6 oz

ETA: She goes down around 8pm and will sleep until about 6am. I sometimes have to get up and give her the pacifier around 2am.

Every 3 1/2 - 4hours she gets 6 oz. So she typically drinks 26-30 oz in a day. Goes to bed 7:30 and wakes 8:30
