Here's what my vet told me. Don't wake him up just to feed him. He'll tell you when he's hungry. Just like a baby. He'll begin to take more and more and sleep longer and longer. Before you know it, he'll be doing 6 hours and then 8......yeah! sleep time for you. Just make sure he's warm and comfortable. You don't have to diaper him everytime, about 4 to 6 hours.
Diaper? does that mean wipe his bottom?

Well darn, I've been waking him up every 3 hours to feed him and most of the time he still has a full belly and doesn't eat that much. He never cries at night, now I know why.... he's still satisfied

My hubbys a night owl to but "claims" he doesn't know how to do it. So I told him I will show him and he plays dumb like he doesn't understand what I just did

Thanks you for all your help!!! Its greatly appreciated
