Feeding and Sleeping

Hi guys, I have twin girls they were born May 2, 7 weeks early. They are roughly 3 months corrected. They take about 5.5 oz of formula mixed with BM every 3-3.5 hours and we usually have their last feed at around 10. They sleep until about 430-530.  I know that is great, don't get me wrong, but when did your LOs space their feedings out and then sleep longer at night? I just feel like we are never going to get off the 3 hour feed and they will never go more than 6.5 hours at night!

Thanks

    W my oldest (FT), he ate every 3 hours during the day until solids were well-established - around 8-9mo. He was going from 11pm-6am without eating starting at around 4mo.

    He EBF.

    Thanks everyone, this makes me feel like we are on the right track then! Its so hard to know if you are doing the "right" thing. I never want them to go hungry but I also want them to have a good sleep so they develop well!
