Leonie is over 5kgs

It has been 1 months+ since I had my little one, I feel guilty because I never thought about how to give him a regular daily life. Hopefully it's not too late today to write a timetable to track his feeding times. Unfortunately he broke it thoroughly at the very beginning.
The first thing is Leonie didn't sleep regularly recently because we were having too many appointments for the past few days, actually even the weekends we've been through for the past month+, and also triggered by the 4+ times feeding last night, I am planning to feed him every 3 or 3+ hours at any amount he wants (I prepared a full 125ml bottle milk every time and he still cant finish them in one time till today, so part of them was wasted always, sigh...) The Second is I've been spoiled him quite a lot, he got what he wanted all the time when he felt hungry or thirsty. I realized today that "nipples are ready anytime he wants" is not the right way to deal with a crying Leonie, and it has been verified today because he went to sleep with I sitting around and reading a book for him. (Like a "Story time" which other mums did to comfort a little thing before sleep I guess? Even he was sleeping for just one hour but it works for sure.) The third is I was having so limited time playing with him and always trying to explore internet in parallel to his feeding, and part from it is I was not patient enough to deal with a crying Leonie sometimes.

Away from what I have learnt in the past 6 weeks, I am still seeking methods to deal with my Leonie's "nipple sucking sleeping habit", it needs time to me to figure it out still.

The photo uploaded on the right side recorded the moment Leonie didn't get milk at the time he wants it. Like what midwives told me, it might be hard at the beginning, but it will be better soon. In my mind, I need to remind myself that the more I spoiled Leonie, the more serious the problem could be when he grows up.

Leonie, mum loves you, and mum believes you will realize the benefits it brought to you when you grow up.
