I am wondering if this nursing every 3 hours is too often or if he should be spacing out the feedings at all. He is not on solids at all yet.
Is there a point at which he should only be eating every 4 hours?
I am worried that I am over feeding him!
Please let me know

This is the same schedule as my little guy, who is also the same age. He is my 4th one and this is perfectly normal. Great job to you!
