Im using the baby wise schedule and its working great for us. She eats 4 oz of formula every 3 hrs during the day, except the 7am and the 10pm are both 5 oz. As of this week she sleeps from 11-5ish, then I pick her up and either rock her back to sleep or put her in bed with me (not good I know) until about 6:30/7am to eat. I dont love everything that book says, but the basic scheduling rules I follow... they say use a eat, wake, then sleep routien. Try to keep her awake for a while after the bottle, then let her fall asleep, and wake her up at the next feeding time. Now she wakes up on her own or starts getting fussy (if shes already awake)  right at the 3 hr mark.

Like I said, I dont agree with everything in the book, but it helped me figure out the scheduling thing Hope this helps!

you've got the eating at every 3 hrs down, so that's good.  i use the eat, play, nap routine and it's worked wonders w/ DD and DS.  after your DD eats, keep her up for at least 1 hr and then put her down for a nap.  let her sleep (actually, encourage her to sleep) until her next feeding time.  routines are wonderful!!!  and they will truly help your LO STTN!
