BF Moms, do you have a feeding schedule?
I just offer 3.5m DS my milk whenever. I have no idea how often or how much he drinks.

Re: BF Moms, do you have a feeding schedule?
My ped told me to BF on demand, but DD never really showed signs of hunger so I would nurse her about every 3-4 hours at that age. I think you're doing the right thing!

My DS is the same. He doesn't show signs very often but when he does it's every 3-4 hours. When I give him a bottle he takes anywhere between 4-6 oz.
I kinda have him on an eat, play, sleep schedule so usually after he wakes from a nap, I feed him within a half hour of that time.

So do you pump and bottle feed?

Re: BF Moms, do you have a feeding schedule?
I feed on demand, but the older DD got, the more she started developing her own schedule-I just followed her cues. When she was a NB it was 1-2 hours, but around 4 months, she started doing every 3 hours. Depending on how long she naps, she'll sometimes stretch it to 4 hours.
When I give her a bottle, she'll take 7+ oz  I have no idea if that's what she really gets from me or she's just drinking it because it's there. When she starts sucking the bottle dry, I add a little extra...so that's what we're up to now.

Re: BF Moms, do you have a feeding schedule?
I'd say that I feeds on demand, but it just so happens to be every 4 hours on the dot! At 7mo, he is BF 5x/day.

Re: BF Moms, do you have a feeding schedule?
Have always fed on demand and DD was on an every two hour schedule until she was a little older than 7 months. Even now with table food, at 12 mo, she still eats something small or large, nearly every 2 hrs. she's a grazer.

I'm weaning him very slowly b/c I'm ready to be done. He's getting 2 bottles a day. They are 1/2 breastmilk, 1/2 formula.

Re: BF Moms, do you have a feeding schedule?
I still BF on demand. If she doesn't ask, I'll feed her after 3-4 hours. Sometimes she'll eat every 1-2 hours, it just depends. I'll try to redirect her but sometimes she just wants to BF.
