3 month update.

THREE MONTHS!
I honestly never thought I would be able to tolerate this whole process as long as I have. My main goal was one month, then 3 months, now I am shooting for 6 months. If I was to stop pumping today, my daughter being about 3.5 months, I would have enough frozen to get her through to 6 months+

What does my schedule look like? I AM NOT TIED DOWN by the clock, or hours and ounces. My supply is established enough that I can pump 3 times one day, 5 times the next day and still consistently produce the same amount of milk. I usually pump at 11-1130 before bed, 9am upon waking, and two-three times during the day when I have a free minute or feel like squeezing in a session.

what does baby's schedule look like?
SHE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!
Baby wakes up between 8-930 A.M. Upon waking she gets changed, eats 1.5tsp of rice mixed with breast milk, and a tsp of fruit (apples, peaches, or bananas) along with 4oz of breast milk.
about 3-4 hours later, usually around 12, she has a 4.5 oz bottle
330 or so, another 4.5 oz bm bottle.
630-7 another 4.5 oz bm bottle.
8pm (average) 1.5 tsp of rice cereal mixed with BM and a tsp of fruit.
1030-11:00pm 5 oz bottle, then goes to bed for the night.
(4- 4.5 oz bottles, 1-5oz bottle=23oz average a day, =2 additional ounces -1oz in ea cereal feeding)

she naps off and on throughout the day, has random tummy time, play time, bath time etc. we dont have a set schedule for her play times.
