3 wks old eating/sleeping advice needed......
#1: Jack naps like a champ during the day and then is up for 2 hours after his night feedings. I wake him during the day to eat after 4 hrs. I feel like if I let him sleep as long as he wants......he'll sleep the day away and be up all night. Do I try to keep him up for a few hours after daytime feedings so that he'll sleep better at night? Or is it too soon to try to manipulate his sleep habits?
#2: He's up to 5 oz. every 3-4 hours. How much is too much? I mean he's a big boy (born 9lbs11oz and as of last Friday 10lbs1oz). Last night I gave him 5 oz.....I swear he would've kept eating if there were 6 oz in the bottle!!!
All advice welcome....

I don't have advice on the sleeping thing, but for the feeding, my ped said if they are sucking the bottle dry, go up an ounce. You'll know if you went up too much if they spit it up.
