James is nearly 3 weeks old, I am breast feeding and feeling slightly confused. At the moment I am waking him every 3 hours for a feed (start to start) during the day, and only feeding on demand after 10pm at night.
Do I feed every 3hours to establish a routine as per text book, or just feed on demand?
Also during the day James tends to sleep between feeds during the day, and I find at night he is normally awake between 2am and 5am at night. How much sleep should he have during the day? The books say he should have a max of 5 hours sleep per day, how do I entertain him to keep him awake for the rest of the time so we can switch his body clock to sleep more at night and less during the day?
Thanks
