9 week old baby routine

Just wanted to see how our little routine is compared to others with babies of a similar age. I say routine, but baby is fed on demand so it is very much baby led.
She feeds every 3-3.5 hrs in the day.
Last bottle is at 7.30pm
In bed asleep by 8pm and sleeps until about 2am feed, then 5am feed then sleeps Til 7/8am.
She takes on average 4oz of milk per feed.

Just wondered other similar age babies do?

My little boy is 7 weeks, he's feeding roughly every 3 hours in the day. He struggles to stay asleep for naps in day, a very light sleeper easily disturbed by his noisy 2 yr old sister! (This results in some screaming meltdowns ??)

He goes to bed between 7 and 8pm and in contrast to day time, settles himself to sleep no problem.

2-3 hourly feeds throughout night zzzz but sometimes does a 4 or 5 hour stretch and I get all excited!

Hi there..9wk old DS BF on demand. Feeding every 1.5-2.5 hours day & night apart from a possible 4 hr stretch between 9 & 1 (though doesn't usually settle till 10 or after..). He's only sleeping an hour max ATM between feeds & can stay awake for 4-5hours which seems a ridiculously long stretch to me ( he's my 4th DC). His feeds take 1-1.5 hours...he was 5wks early & so I guess he's possibly going to act like a newborn for longer than term babies. He's really just smiling & cooing this week...
