Ebf schedule for 3 month old

I am working hard at switching from EPing to EBFing DS. So far I am BF in the am and pm and he takes 3 to 4 4 oz bottles while I work 10 hr days. While still EPing, he eould rake 5 5 oz bottles a day. Going to try full day EBFing this weekend all day and see how it goes. Wondering what other moms of 12 month old schedules are like?

    I'm guessing you mean 12 week old since the title says 3 months :)

    When DD was 3 months old, she was still nursing every 1.5 to 2 hours during the day, and every 3 to 5 at night.  But we definitely weren't scheduled - if she was fussy or seemed to be rooting around, I would just offer to feed (and 99% of the time she was happy to do so).  Just watch his cues!

    We EP'd for the first 8 weeks then I decided to start BFing.  I returned to work when he hit 12 weeks so now I pump 3 times at work and get about 4.5 - 5 oz total each pump and EBF while at home.  He eats 3 -  4oz bottles at DC from 7:30a to 4:30p. While at home he nurses every 2.5 to 3 hrs.  Transitioning from EPing to BFing was hard for me because I always felt at first he wasn't getting enough because I couldn't see his intake.  It took me about a week to get over it after seeing soaking wet diapers throughout the day. GL it's so much easier to nurse.

    My 12 week old is EBF and feeds typically every 2 to 2.5 hours. If she takes an extra long nap sometimes it might be 3 to 3.5 hours. I just go off her cues and feed on demand. She gets up once a night between 2-4am.
