Sleeping???

Hi, i have a 4 week old baby, he wakes up every 3 hours to eat... He will drink between 4oz-5oz and sometimes (rare) he will drink 3oz.. I was wondering did any of you mommies had any idea of what i could try to make him start sleeping more? If any one you guys tried stuff and it worked, the info would be much apreciated theanks in advance  

When his little body is ready to sleep longer he will. He wakes to feed because his body needs it right now. He is still very young. My 7 month old wakes every three hours to feed so I would say you are doing well  

He is 4 weeks old. He needs to eat every 3 hours because he is hungry and needs the nutrition. So as his mother you need to give up that sleep and get up and feed him. I tried to put this as nicely as possible.

I am 22 and still wake up in the middle of the night. lol

No tips. Just feed on demand.

My 3 year old still wakes up :/

Woooo there dont need no negative comments just asking, im aware that he is 4 weeks abd needs to eat was just asking?? A simple question and as a mother i do get UP and feed him?

Have you tried swaddeling yourself?

On topic: babies don't have a schedule before 6 weeks, only a lucky few of us have babies who slept longer stretches at that age. Sleeping longer has more to do with weight than age, my 3,5mo boy slept a 6 hour stretch starting at 5 weeks, but he was always in the 95th percentile for weight.

I didn't think I was negative.

No one was negative.
Sleep when he sleeps if you are that tired. Babies that age still need bottles during the night for nutrition. He will sleep longer when he is ready. My son started sleeping through the night the same week he turned two months old.

I would strongly suggest swaddling if you are not already doing so.
As above, he is still very young and likely needs the every 3 hour feeds at this point. Mine ate every 2-3 hours until around 6 weeks. Then you start getting one four hour stretch (usually at night). Then eventually, and hopefully, it gets longer and longer. By between 3-4 months, mine slept through the night (6-8 hours in a row).
Just keep doing what you're doing and things will get better!!
