Post your 3-4 month old's feeding schedule please

DD is exactly 3 months. I'm trying to change her schedule around a little and i wanted to see what other 3-4 month old schedules were like (pre-solids). Right now this is what it's like:

6:00 a.m.- 5-6 ounces
10:00- 4-5 ounces
2:00- around 4-5 ounces
6- around 4-5 ounces
8:30 ish- 2 ounces/bed

** DD gets tired around 8, but she's not hungry yet for another bottle. Problem is, if I put her down at 8 with her last bottle being at 6, she will wake up around 2 and will not sleep well through the night, so I try and keep her up until at least 9 and give her a bottle then. She only takes about 2 ounces but it helps her sleep through the night. I want to stop to keep her up until 9 so I wanted to see everyone else's schedule. IF I change it to feed every 3 hours she usually isn't that hungry yet. Thank you!

Unfortunately, we don't have a napping schedule yet. Every day she seems to want to nap at different times and for different lengths.

Re: Post your 3-4 month old's feeding schedule please

everyday is different for us because they get up at different times each morning.

Yesterday was 7, 10, 1, 4,7, 10- Each feeding I breastfeed one and give the other a 6-7oz bottle of pumped milk.

This morning they woke up at 6 we we are going to try 6, 9, 12, 3, 6 and 9 and see what happens.

Right now they fall asleep around 8:30-9 pm and then we wake them at 10 for a bottle but it is getting harder and harder to get them to drink the bottle at that time. So we are going to try earlier tonight but I have a feeling they will wake up at 4 am though. but we shall see

Everyday is different for naps too. They usually go back down for a nap about and hour or an hour and half after they wake up and usually take a long early afternoon nap depending on when they eat...11-1 or 12-2ish

DD will be 4 months on Friday (she's 16 w). Her schedule has been the same for about 6-8 weeks now.

This is all give and take about 30 minutes here or there:

4:00 am - 7 oz
8:30 am - 6 oz
11:30-12 pm - 4.5 oz
2:30 - 5 oz
4:30-5 - 5.5 oz
7:30 - 6 oz

+/- a few oz here or there because I always offer her between 6 & 7 and she doesn't always take it all. She's eating about 32-34 oz a day and I know she's ready for solids. We talked to her ped and started "practicing" with a tsp of rice cereal yesterday for the first time. But that's not in our schedule here.

DD goes down for bed at around 8 pm, soon after her last bottle. No matter what time I feed her last or if I try to wake her up to "top up" she always wakes up at around 4 am to eat, whether it's been 8 or 9 hours or 4 hours. So I stopped trying to wake her at 10 pm to extend it. She's STARVING at 4 am (some mornings it's more like 5 or 5:30) so I know she needs to just grow her little belly a little more and we'll be STTN fully soon. She's only 12.5 lbs (we'll get an official weight at her appointment on the 10th, but that's our unofficial scale).

DD takes four 30 minute naps during the day, usually around 10 am, 12 pm, 3, and 5 pm. I'm hoping she'll move from 4-30 min naps to 3 somewhat longer naps soon. Chat Icon

She keeps chewing her hands, making smacking noises, and generally is super hungry all the time. I had wanted to wait until longer than 4 mos to start cereal, but she made it known she's ready to eat... so here we go! It's already an adventure. Chat Icon

DD is 4 months today.

She eats every 4 hours and all bottles are 7.5 ounces except her last

so her time is usually as follows (weekends are sometimes off cause we dont ahve to wake her and we let her sleep till she wakes up)

so she eats at 7 , 11, 3, 7

at around 10 we wake her up if she is sleeping, which she usually is, I think she maybe ready for a 9:00 bed time but i am a little nervous trying it; i think we might next weekend.)so at 10 we change her for bed some nights she gets a bath give her her last bottle which she will take anywhere from 3-6 ounces then she is down for the night till the next morning.


We have no nap scheule at all. At this point though i notice she needs to nap sometime between 5 and 6.

One thing i do and i have daycare due is that she should not go any longer than 4 hours between feedings; so if she is sleeping i will have them and i do too wake her for her bottle.
