Baby Feeding Schedule

What is Baby Feeding Schedule?

A baby feeding schedule is a planned routine of when and how often a baby is fed. It helps parents maintain a consistent feeding pattern for their baby, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrition and are well-nourished throughout the day.

What are the types of Baby Feeding Schedule?

There are different types of baby feeding schedules that parents can follow based on their baby's age and individual needs. Some common types include:

Demand feeding: This approach involves feeding the baby whenever they show signs of hunger. The baby determines their own feeding schedule.
Scheduled feeding: This method involves feeding the baby at set times, usually every 2-3 hours, regardless of hunger cues.
Combination feeding: This approach combines both demand and scheduled feeding, allowing flexibility while maintaining a general routine.

Questions & answers

How much formula? 5 days to 3 months old: 150mL per kilogram of body weight each day. 3 to 6 months old: 120mL per kilogram of body weight each day. 6 to 12 months old: 100mL per kilogram of body weight each day. Babies at this age also eat complementary foods.
If you're breastfeeding, write down the time you begin and end each nursing session, which breast you start on, whether you switch to the other breast, and how long you nurse on each breast. If you're bottle-feeding, track the time you begin and end each feeding session, as well as the number of ounces your baby eats.
At about 2 months of age, babies usually take 4 to 5 ounces per feeding every 3 to 4 hours. At 4 months, babies usually take 4 to 6 ounces per feeding. At 6 months, babies may be taking up to 8 ounces every 4 to 5 hours.
Baby is at Least 12 Weeks Old Baby needs to be old enough to go 4 hours between feedings both for the length between feedings and also because going 4 hours between feedings means dropping the number feedings in a day.
Most newborns eat every 2 to 3 hours, or 8 to 12 times every 24 hours. Babies might only take in half ounce per feeding for the first day or two of life, but after that will usually drink 1 to 2 ounces at each feeding.
For the first few weeks of life, I usually recommend that Mom wake the baby to breastfeed at least every two to three hours, measured from the start of one feeding to the start of the next, during the day and evening hours. It's okay to let the baby take one longer stretch of sleep at night if she is able to do that.
