I clicked "special snowflake."

We are kind of on a routine, but it's a flexible routine that gets altered (usually only slightly) by DS's needs.

He eats every 2.5 to 3.0 hours during the day.  I wake him up when he reaches the 3 hour mark; sometimes he wakes himself up at 2.5 hours.  We're also folliwng the "Secrets of the Baby Whisper" guidelines (eat, activity, sleep).

Between 12 and 8am, we're doing on demand eating!

We do something very similar.  Lately LO has been wanting to eat about every 2 hrs during the day.  Thankfully she has blessed us by putting herself on a 4hr + sleep routine at night.  If she doesn't wake herself up by hour 5 (and she usually doesn't), I wake her to feed.   If the ped gives me the okay tomorrow, I'm going to see just how long she'll sleep at night.

We aren't so much on a rigid time schedule for anything, but are trying to at least establish some routines such as bath/pajamas/story/feeding/bed at night. Otherwise his needs pretty much dictate everything.

LO tends to eat every 2-3 hours during the day, so I guess that is kind of a schedule. And her last feeding of the day (between 8:30 and 10) goes with her night routine (bath, lotion, PJs, lullaby). We are trying to make sure she knows the difference between naps and sleeping at night. But her feeding cues determine our day really.

oh my,  we aren"t even close to a routine! yesterday lo was eating every hour, hour and a half, now today every 2.5 - 3 hrs.......at this point, i"m just happy if she latches, eats and goes to the bathroom. breastfeeding has been pretty frustrating for me this week.

DS eats every 3-3.5 hrs during the day and will go easily 4+ hours at night. However, I've been waking him up at 4 hours per the pedi's instructions. Tomorrow she may give us the ok to let him sleep longer if he's back up to birth weight.
