Baby is 14 weeks (16 weeks corrected). We used to be in a 3hour schedule and he would go 5-6 hours at night but he is now feeding hourly and I am back at work so not coping. I work at home so breastfeed him when I am here then he has expressed milk when I am not. He will guzzle 8 oz in a few hours. If he is having these volumes from my boobs, he is having way more than they say they need.
Will switching to formula help? Or do i need a stricter routine rather than feeding on demand? I had wanted to carry on to 6 months but cannot carry on at this rate. Finding it very difficult.
