Breastfeeding

can u share ur 3 mo. old feeding schedule?

I want to see how feedings will look like (how often/volume) when I return to work.  Thanks

Re: can u share ur 3 mo. old feeding schedule?

  • Mine are really rough estimates - I'm just 2 weeks into working again.  LO will be 3 months on the 2nd.

    6:30ish - LO wakes, BF (I pump after he is done.)

    9ish - 4 oz bottle at DC  (I pump around 9:30 at work) 

    11:30ish - 4 oz bottle at DC

    (I pump around 12:30 at work) 

    2 ish - 4 oz bottle at DC 

    4:30ish - 4 oz bottle if still at DC or home with DH  (I pump around 4 at work)

    6:30ish - BF

    8:30ish - BF and put DS down to sleep

    10:30 - pump before I go to sleep

    2ish - DS wakes, BF (If I'm not exhausted and could use a few extra oz, sometimes I pump then too.)

    *Sometimes LO wakes around 4/4:30 and nurses, other nights he sleeps until 6/6:30.*   

    HTH a little.  I was really overwhelmed with starting work again, but we did fit into a little bit of a pattern right away.  GL!

  • LO's nurse at 7:30, 10:00, 1:00, 4:00, 6:00, then 7:30 bottle and bed. It falls 30 minutes bf or after these times some days, but they eat six times a day every day, and sleep through the night.  I had to pump and feed them one weekend that I wasn't home most of the time, and they took about 4.5 oz every feeding.  They get 6 oz of formula at 7:30.  GL!

  • LO eats @ 8, 11, 2, 5, 9ish then bed until between 3-4am feeds then back to sleep until 8am! It works out well for us.
  • Sorry I just re-read your question...blame it on that its 4am! I am going back to work Monday so have been pumping after his 8am feed to build a freezer stash(I only work 2 evenings/week). He takes about 4 oz when he eats from a bottle when I'm gone. I have supply issues in that I make too mich milk so I have to be careful not to pump too often or it increases my supply even more & I get into trouble with blocked ducts! Good luck as you return to work!!
  • I have been back to work for three weeks and this is our rough schedule.

    6:45 am - BF

    9:45 am-I pump at work

    11:00 am - DS takes 6 oz bottle at DC

    12:30 pm - I pump at work

    3:30 pm- DS takes 6 oz bottle at DC

    5:00 pm - I pump when I get home from work with DS

    6:00 pm - BF

    9:00 pm- BF

    2-3 am - BF

    Like everyone says, this varies some depending on the baby.  Of course for whatever reason he doesn't keep this schedule on the weekend.  I wish he would.
