Schedule

Since I will be going back to work shortly, I wanted to initiate some sort of loose schedule. I still want to feed on demand but I think that since she is starting to be awake more often, this may be a good time. However, with my bronchitis diagnosis on Monday (I went from allergies to a cold to bronchitis - boo!), my concern is that she doesn't get sick so the schedule is very loose. She has been sleeping for 5 hours (10pm-3am) the past couple of nights so I think she may be ready.

This is what I want to start doing this week with Aunt Gai to prepare for my return to work:

Feedings every 3 hours (6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12am) based on E – A – S – Y (eat, activity, sleep, you time).
