When to stop feeding every 3 hours

Until which week/month should i feed my baby milk every 3 hours? Like when do they stretch the hours to 4 or longer. Cause it’s really taking a toll on us, especially first time parents, we have no free time in between. It’s always about preparing baby’s FM milk 😣

My 1.5 months old baby is still drinking every 3 hourly. Suggest you get those milk powder containers, scoop out the amount that you require and prepare afew portions of it. When time is up, you just need to pour it into the bottle, don’t have to scoop it up. Hahaha. Saves time. I also got a bottle warmer so I don’t have to boil water and wait. I just pour cooled boiled water into my bottle and put it into the warmer. Takes only about 5 mins to prepare my milk all the time.

wow you so pro!👍

At day 3 she’s mostly waking on her own every 2-3 hourly for milk but occasionally 4-6 hours. If you’re okay with feeding cold milk, you can preprep formula in bottles in the fridge and consume within 24 hours will do. I fed cold milk (bm, formula) since she’s 2 weeks old and had no issues till now (21m).
