3 month old can't make it to 3 hours

Yes I think your plan is a good one.

All babies are different and even the same baby will have slightly different feeds on different days so there's no table. Yes, many EBF  babies feed frequently until solids are established.

Have you considered pumping a bottle and seeing if she'll take that if you need to leave her? Or some babies will feed from an open cup with a little help and some mess.

I don't know why I didn't think to ask this sooner, but does she take a pacifier/dummy? Some babies just like - and some NEED! - to suckle *something* as they drop off to sleep.

@Ali, We haven't tried pumping yet, but I do have a pump. Was kinda hoping to avoid the hassle of washing/sterilizing bottles and pump equipment, but I guess I should find some time to figure out how to use it...

@deb -- no, we haven't used a pacifier.  We didn't want to deal with pacifier weaning, so we figured we'd try first and see if we can manage without it.  We've been okay so far -- she can sleep with or without nursing.
