So took my son to his 1 month appointment today. And lately he has been eating weird. He will act really hungry but only eat a little bit. Then other times he will act a little hungry and eat a lot. We have no set feeding schedule. However he has gained a lot of weight, he now weighs 9 pounds. But the doctor wants me to get him on a better feeding schedule that way he will sleep more during the day. (He doesn't sleep much during the day). But I don't know how, I don't feel comfortable depriving him food if he is acting hungry. His cries make my body physically hurt, not that I mind, I love him to death and he is one of the best things in my life. But I don't want to not feed him and have him crying a lot. It breaks my heart. I decided not to listen and let him continue but then someone brings up a good point, I'll get more sleep. It sounds good but I don't feel right doing that. I don't care about the lost sleep, I can sleep when I am dead.
What should I do? I need advice.

i might have to try that. can he eat cereal at 1 month? @sheneque1990
that's how my kids where I put the cereal in their 🍼 and it help alot
i use a free flow nipple when i use one and if i am using a bottle he drinks sometimes over 3-4 oz and then sometimes he drinks closer to 1-2. When I nurse him, he empties one side, which when i pump i get 2.5 oz each side, so he finishes one side then gets full on the other, then i still have to pump on the side he didnt finish. hes gaining weight. it's his sleep. he doesn't sleep very much during the day, she wants me to change his feeding schedule to where it is 2-3 hours apart so he will sleep. but he doesnt like to sleep. @sheneque1990
