Transiting from DL to Pumping for IFC

Hi parents, my baby is 7 weeks old now, and will be entering ifc soon. Currently, I dl on demand and have no idea how much she takes in every feed. Sometimes she can feed every 1.5 hrs, sometimes 3hrs. How should I establish a feeding routine with ebm instead of on demand so that the teachers can follow when she enters ifc? TIA!

I’m an exclusive pumping mummy. Every baby is different. Mine, at 7 weeks take about 60-90ml per feed every 2-3 hours. Maybe you can start with a bottle around this range then you can see how much she’s drinking and how often. My ifc only feeds baby milk every 3 hours, it’s their routine. Could also check with the ifc how often they feed the babies there, can help u gauge better

Sorry for the slow reply. To be honest I’m not so sure on this. Could check with ifc if they will? I guess if your LO cries, they will probably feed him. Sorry can’t help much. My LO hardly cries for milk. He’s not a fan of milk. Hahah
