3-4 mo olds w/feeding schedule-come in...

I fear I may be letting her be a "grazer" lately. I have been feeding on demand every 1-2 hours. Do you have a schedule? How often? How much?

I'm not one to take a book a gospel , but Baby Wise 2 says don't do that!

TIA

    We feed a 6 oz bottle every 3-4 hours (between wake up and about 6;30pm). Sometimes she takes all 6, sometimes 4. But I always give her the option to have more. She will usually have one bottle around 5am and goes back to sleep.

    I BF so I don't know how much she is getting but with the occational bottle I pump she eats about 4 oz. Feedings are usually every 2-3 hours during the day and she will some times go 4 at night/early morning. The week she hit 3 months she was wanting to eat every 1 1/2-2hours though.

    I work from home so I feed on demand and it's about every 2 hours.  Some books say that it's better to feed on demand during the day and they will sleep better at night...when I started doing that his sleep schedule got a little better...but who knows.

    We feed every three-four hours 6oz each time so she gets 5 to 6 bottles a day.

    Lydia takes 6-7 ounces ever 3 hours. Usually 4-5 bottles per day.

    I EBF so I'm not exactly sure how much she's getting, but she nurses anywhere from 10-20 minutes during the day, and her last feeding before bed is usually about 30 minutes. And she eats 6 times/day usually every 3-4 hours. I don't really feed on demand, she's pretty much on the eat/play/sleep schedule so usually by the time she wakes up from a nap she's hungry.

    DS gets a 5oz bottle when he wakes up usually around 7/8am. He may take another 2-3oz before he goes down for his long morning nap (3hours). When he wakes up, he gets another 5-6oz bottle. About 2-3hrs later, he gets the same, and then again before bed.  When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he has 7oz.  He typically has about 30-33oz daily.
