Dansta - unfortunately I can't predict when she's going to need a full feed because during the day she wakes every 40 mins. I use that opportunity to put her on the boob to stimulate my supply but she's not actually feeding, just having a bit of a suck. Sometimes she goes back to sleep, sometimes she's up for a bit, sometimes she has a bit of formula. It's really hard to know how many short naps and wake-ups she's going to need before having a full feed beause some days she has lots of snacks. This is obviously not ideal but at the moment, I'm living with it because I know that putting her on the boob every time she wakes up (even if it might only be for a few minutes before she cracks it at the lack of milk) is good for my supply (bearing in mind that I had NO milk, not a drop, 8 days ago and now I have some).
She's on formula not EBM so I'm not sure how long I could have that in the dispenser warming up even if I could predict her wake up times.
