When they say feed every 4 hours do I count when they start sucking boob or when he passes out on boob? George was on me in spurts from 7-8:30.. not sure if I should wake him to feed or not suggestions?

Is it normal at times he’s latched for like a hour then other times it’s 30 mins?
I only wake a baby up to nurse until they get back to their birthweight. Always feed on demand. Breast milk digests quickly so they feed more frequently.
