Feeding schedule
I was going to follow the “moms on call” typical day schedule. Is it recommended to have a 5 week old on a set feeding schedule? Please let me know if this makes sense. This would be the schedule
Feeding times: 6-7am, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 5:30 pm, bedtime feed 8 pm and feed whenever she wakes at night
My pumping schedule was going to be: 6am, 10 am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm, 2am. Pumping every 3 hours is just too much to handle for me.
Feeding on demand is recommended for the first 6 weeks/couple of months in order to establish your supply. If you find a schedule works for baby then try it out once your established and see how you go :) I fed (and still do) both mine on demand because there's already too much to think of with kids 🤣
