It is recommended to check residual every 4-6 hours for intermittent feedings, and since the next feeding is scheduled for 12:00, checking at 10:00 would fall within that time frame. Checking at 08:30 would be too soon and checking at 09:00 would not allow enough time for the feeding to progress. Checking at 11:30 would be too close to the next feeding time.
