Baby Feeding Schedule ❤️
For anyone who is feeding baby on a schedule, does this look okay? She isn’t waiting too long between feeds or feeding too much/little?
Baby girl is 9 weeks old, and probably around 10lb now. She has been on close monitoring with her weight as she has had a few struggles gaining, so I want her on more of a schedule so I know what she’s having. This is our rough schedule currently:
Wake Up - Breast Feed
8am - Bottle 120ml (4oz)
11-12am - Bottle 120ml (4oz)
2-3pm - Bottle 120ml (4oz)
6-7pm - Bottle 120ml (4oz)
9-10pm - Bottle 150ml (5oz)
Night Wake up - Bottle 120ml (4oz)
Then we top up with breast feeding throughout the day if she seems fussy/hungry but I know I don’t produce much. The timings between bottles just depends on the other feeds of the day, but usually 3/4hrs in between and they usually fall under those times that I wrote.
I am both worried that I may be under or over feeding her, I have googled multiple things and can’t seem to find an answer so any help would be great! ❤️
Sounds exactly like my little one's feeding pattern. He is 11 week today and had 4oz every 3 hours, will sometimes go less or slightly longer if we are out and he is sleeping. He also sometimes has 5oz just before bed which can be anytime between 8 and 10 depending on how the day has gone and at the moment has been sleeping through until 5.30/6am and then goes back to sleep and wakes 3hrs later for his next bottle. I also sometimes breastfeed in between or at night before his bedtime bottle x
