XP Feeding on Demand/ Daily Schedule

XP on 3-6 

Do you feed your LO on demand still or do you have a set schedule?

Our day revolves around when LO wakes up and eats, which are different every day.  He eats pretty regularly every 3 hours (except at night) and sometimes it makes for a weird schedule. For example, he ate at 6 pm and started getting fussy and sleepy at 7-7:15. So does that mean he should take a little nap and then eat at 9? I ended up nursing him a little bit and putting him to bed for the night.

So do you have a set time that you put LO to bed and a set time you wake him/her up in the morning?

TIA!

    I feed on demand. I'm too forgetful to follow a feeding schedule. Plus, I get hungry at different times each day I'm sure my baby does too. I try to have her in bed by 8pm but that doesn't always work. I don't wake her up in the morning unless we have an appoinment.

    If Alice gets fussy in the evening like she needs to go to bed, I put her to bed which includes eating. Sometimes I nurse her at 7:30 and then I'm nursing her again at 8pm. For us in the evenings I just feed her as much as wants, she tends to cluster feed. We EBF so that may make a difference as to what we would do if we used formula.

    I also feed on demand.  I am nervous for daycare to start in 3 weeks or so!  I have not been giving him a bottle as often either b/c he basically refuses to take one from me.  He will take one from friends that watch him though, so I am thinking we will be ol with daycare.

    On demand. As far as bedtime, she eventually began a pattern and we just went with it.

    We feed him when he is hungry and let him sleep when he is tired. This seems to work for us, though he doesn't STTN I don't think that has anything to do with our "method"
