Combination feeding

Hello could anyone who is combination feeding share their schedule please? How often, how much, mixed bottles or switching between formula and bf. My DD is 3 months old and currently has expressed breastmilk 6.30am (4oz), BF 9.30am, Fomula (5oz) 12.00pm, BF 3.00pm, Formula (5oz) 6.00pm, BF 8.00pm and another BF 9.30/10.00pm. She then goes all night without another feed. Sometimes she wants to feed every 2 hours in the day though even with the formula feeds. Just worrying about overfeeding/underfeeding tbh and can't find a good example of a 3 month old feeding schedule for combination feeding.

I think the only way you'll know if you're under or overfeeding is to see if she's tracking her centiles Wink

Depends on why you’re combination feeding really.

For my DS we did more breast than bottles as it was way easier.

7am - breast
10am - bottle
1pm - breast
3pm - bottle
7pm - breast
overnight breast.

that said at 3 months they would feed more than that some days. I’d only do 2 bottles of 5oz each. Any other feed was breast.
