    Please share your typical feeding schedule

    Ladies- Looks like everyones babes are doing great and chunking up! My son is still not sleeping for very long stretches at night. He's up at 1 or 2 then again at 4 or 5 and lots of fussing inbetween. Would you mind sharing your feeding schedule.

    What time do you generally feed your last bottle?

    Approximately how much per feeding at this point?

    Bedtime for your LO?

    When are yours generally waking for another feed?

    You can answer one question or all of them if you will.

    Thanks in advance! You would think I would remember this from my older son, but I just can't.

    We exclusively breastfeed so it is on demand. However it works out to usually every 2 hours during the day and every 3 hours at night. We are up at least 2 times a night sometimes three to feed.

    I am nursing also but it works out like this:

    What time do you generally feed your last bottle? He eats last between 9&10 and goes down close to 10 every night.

    Approximately how much per feeding at this point? I am guessing that he eats between 4 & 6 ounces at a time. When I pump, he will take whatever I give him.

    Bedtime for your LO? 10:00 pm faithfully every night

    When are yours generally waking for another feed? He gets up between 2 & 3, nurses for a short time, goes right back and sleeps until 5 or 6, takes a small amount, then up between 8 & 9. He is big sleeper. He slept most of the day today.

    Approximately how much per feeding at this point? He drinks usually between 4 & 5 ounces

    Bedtime for your LO? He generally goes down after his last feeding about 10ish.

    When are yours generally waking for another feed? He normally wakes every 3 hours but last night he went down at 10:30 and woke at 3am. Then went back by about 4 and slept until 5:30 in his bed and an hour on my chest.

    I try to give him a sponge bath every evening between 7 & 8 to settle him down (he still doesn't like the tub yet).
