My ds is 3 weeks old today he weighs 11lb 14 oz is a big baby . I'm feeding him cow and gate infant milk and through the day he is taking 4 oz every 3 to 4 hours . But at night he's not finishing a bottle and waking up hungry every hour half 2 hours. I'm so tired don't know where I'm going wrong? What can I do to get a better routine,?

Hi steppyhen congratulations :)
no sleep is really tough Flowers
Firstly. .. can someone else do a couple of the feeds so you get some sleep? ? Can you nap in the day?
Have you tried shuh pat to get him back to sleep between feeds?
Your not doing anything wrong. You're meeting your ds needs. :)
This too shall pass.

Shush pat is when you sit with them and go shhh shhh while patting bum or back Till they fall asleep. Have look at 'no cry sleep solution' :)
