After Melody was born, our pediatrician put us on a 3 hour feeding schedule.  It took us a few days to find a schedule and rhythm that worked for us.  We wanted a schedule that would provide us with some sleep, but also work with us once Brad went back to work.  The first week at home, I pumped, and we supplemented with formula.  After I built up a day's worth of breastmilk, we went exclusively breastmilk and no formula.  This schedule was especially rough on me because I was pumping almost every feeding, but we eventually got into such a good routine that it really wasn't too bad.  Check it out below:
