Ginger72: Thank you for your suggestion. I should try this route again.

Are you expressing or doing formula?
Corrina01: You are suggesting feeding at 3:00/5:15 and then again at 7? I hadn't thought of this route! This is the cluster feeding route, right?
When Cory was 5 months he went through this thing where he was happy to eat every 4.5 hours or so and the eating times went like this: 7am/11:30/4:00ish/7:00ish and then one after the 7pm feed but before 2am. It seemed to work but I was a little worried about sorta dropping a feed. How many BFs are normal at this age? Would it be the case that if a baby is going to take, say... 30 ounces a day, that he/she can do it in 4 feeds of 8+ ounces or 5 feeds at 6 ounces each?
Does it really matter how many times they go to the breast?
When I type it, it does seem to mean that quality of a feed would rule over quantity of feeding times...but maybe there is something I am missing:-)
Thanks for both of your responses. It is very, very much appreciated:-)
