How frequently should my 7 week old baby be feeding?

Ok, he is my third, but I can't remember anything! It varies betwen 1 - 3 hrs. We're both doing fine, but I seem to remember books suggesting less frequent feeds.
All advice very welcome.

sounds perfectly normal to me, whether bottle or breast. my ds fed continually at that age!

My advice would be to throw the books out of the window. The only person to listen to with regards to how often to feed your baby is ... your baby.

Go with the flow for now, things will start to settle down a bit more as he gets older.

sounds normal to me! especially as at 7 weeks he could be going through a growth spurt.
