Naps and feedings

How do I go about feedings and nap times? Sometimes my baby's wake windows are longer and I try to let him nap but then he's on the longer side between feeds (4 hours) but then if I do that he won't get 8 feedings in a day like he's supposed to and I don't know if that will then affect his sleep at night to waking up more for food. I had been waking him up to feed him at the 3 hour mark but that led to some very overtired instances. He is 7 weeks tomorrow, first time anxious mom

Hi also a first time anxious mom! We waited until 8 or 9 weeks to start a schedule. It took him until about then to kinda fall into a schedule on his own. We started with moms on call and then tweaked it to add in an extra feeding for the same reason you said! I can share a picture of our schedule if you’d like

@Hannah yes please! I go back to work soon and I think a schedule would be good to give my husband to go by while I'm away
