Trying to form a schedule

[lauranicole91]

So since a feeding schedule is doctors orders I'm trying to compile a good set up.

I'm going to try hard to continue to only let Pey nurse every 2-3 hours. I don't intend to offer it to her every 2-3 hours, but more so I will stop refusing her access after 2-3 hours. Does that make sense? I mean she just nursed at 9 and just came up to me asking for more. *sigh* my little boobaholic.

Anyways the times given on the schedule are just allotted times since the nutritionalist said to only allow food consumption in 15-30min intervals depending on snack or meal. (Holy run on).

I will have to adjust times a little on days she sleeps in, or we are out, or she takes an early 11am nap vs her normal 1:30 nap. But I will try to keep the timing between things fairly consistent, just maybe not the time on the clock.

What do you guys think? *the bedtime routine is the same it's been for months so that's pretty set.

Wake up Nurse
8:30-9 Breakfast
9-9:15 Nurse
11-11:15 Snack
11:15-11:30 Nurse
1-1:30 Lunch
1:30-1:45 Nurse
Nap
3:15-3:30 Snack
3:30-3:45 Nurse
6-6:30 Dinner
6:30-6:45 Nurse
8:30 Bath and PJs
9 Quiet time + nurse
9:30-10:30 bed

I think that looks like a really good place to start. After you've been been at it for a bit you'll figure out what works best.

Yeah and of course it won't be that exact considering I work. But that's what a day off would look like anyways.

What time does she wake up? Can you offer breakfast before nursing?

Otherwise, looks good to me!

She wakes up anywhere from 7:30-9. We bed share so it's hard to deny her nursing in the morning. I sleep with my nursing tank open all night. Plus I can't tell if she's nursing and going back to sleep or nursing to get up for the day.
