Should I wake my 3 week old to eat?

Or let him sleep? It's been over 3 hours.?

I wouldn't let him go past 4 hours.  You could also try dreamfeeding him!

There are soooo many theories to that situation but I have stuck with never wake a sleeping baby!  Seems to work for me...

Is he over his birth weight? If so, you can have one 5 hour stretch (unless pedi tells you other wise)

Yes, he is over his birth weight...?

At 3 weeks, I'd wake to feed. Maybe he'll eat and go right back to sleep!

I woke baby up every 3 hours to eat b/w 6 am to 11pm/midnight.  Then, I didn't wake her at all at night -- she woke up on her own b/w 4 - 5 hours later.  She didn't starve --- it was the best thing b/c it helped her learn the different b/w night and day.  I always followed the rule of wake a sleeping baby during the day to eat and not too nap too long so they don't confuse night and day....and leaver them to be at night.
