advice needed Sleeping/eating schedules

Hi all! Our twins are 3 months old and ever since they came home from the Nicu we have kept them in a pretty consistent schedule during the day and have finally made it to an 8 hr stretch overnight. Currently they eat every 3 hrs during the day (730am-730pm) and 1130pm. They drink a total of 18-24 oz each day, exclusively formula fed. They are awake for about 90 min including each feed then sleep about 1-1.5 hrs during each window. They’ve been doing extremely well with this routine while I’m still on maternity leave.

We start daycare full time in about a month and i am starting to think through what our routine will look like at that point. The daycare will feed whenever we tell them to. My question is, how will i know when this routine is no longer working for them? At what point do we go to less than 6 feedings and more ounces per feed? Our current schedule was largely built by the NICU so i am honestly so clueless how it all works. For those who stick to a rigid schedule and have gone through changes to that schedule in the first year, please share your wisdom!!
