My girls are 9 weeks and will be going to daycare and am having a hard time with scheduling......they are sleeping 3-5 hour stretches at night but how do we get them up at 5? For example, if they wake up at 3 to eat, do we feed them again at 5 even though it's only been 2 hours. Or what if they eat at 3 and then are hungry at 6, which I won't have time to feed them. Does that make sense.

When I have to go somewhere with my babies in the morning (never as early as 5 though...bless you!!!) and it is technically a bit early for a feeding time, I try to feed them last before we leave.  So if we need to leave the house by 8am, and they get up at 7 but already ate at like 5, I would get them up at 7, dress them, dress my other kids, dress myself, get their diaper bag packed, do anything else that needs done, and then feed them at like 7:50.  As soon as they are fed and happy, then I would pop them in their carseats and go.  

Now, of course, you would have to adjust this according to how long your babies take to eat and if they need to be burped or changed after eating due to spit-upping, but I think the idea holds the same.  Hope that helps!
