I know, eh? I mean, if he's hungry, he'll tell me. If I wake him and he's not hungry, then I have to deal with getting him back to sleep and maybe he won't be very happy about having been woken up... *sigh*

The first night was kind of rough... he cried on and off till 5 am :(
Didn't make a peep at the hospital, but now that he's home, watch out!
I fed him around 5, gave him a bottle because he was crying hysterically. Then he was fine till 8, cried again so I went to fix him a bottle and by the time I was back all he had needed was a good burp, lol!
I hate to wake him to feed him again... at the hospital they say every 3 hours, but I gave him formula this morning, and I know that takes longer to digest, so I guess I'll just wait till he wakes up on his own.

Mel, I"m going to give you one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received "trust your instinct" - if you think he needs to sleep, let him...YOU know best. Personally, I'd let him sleep and feed him when he gets up. He's has lots of time for schedules etc. Imagine what a shock life is for his system right now! He needs you to do everything for him, and he's smart enough to let you know it. You will soon learn to differentiate his cries so you'll know a bit more of what's going on. Feed by a clock? No thanks, is what I say.
