My son is 5 weeks - should he have a "scheduled" feeding?

I have 4 children ages 5 1/2, 4, 2, and 4 months. All were exclusivley fed until 10 months of age (except for the youngest so far of course). I NEVER pumped I tried it and hated it-took too long, I could not relax. Your son is too young to be on a schedule. Tiny babies have frequent growth spurts-they eat and eat nonstop it seems then sleep longer for the next few days-it happens usually at 3 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months... THey just drink so much more then, maybe every 1 1/2 hours all day and night (when they are very young). My youngest son is 4 months old and eats sometimes every hour then he can go 4 hours, it is up to him. I never had any luck with pacifiers at all. feeding is very hard-you feel that it is all you ever do at all it seems, but it is well worth it. If you are calm about it your baby will be content and grow up healthy!! Good luck!! I totally sympathize!
