BUSY BUSY BUSY!!! My life has been this since Tate was born but I love it! Hardly get to come on here anymore though!

Things are going along quite nicely but I do have a couple of questions that I hope you lovely people can answer for me!

While I don't want a strict routine and am quite happy to follow Tate's lead to an extent I am wondering when he will settle into more of a pattern.

At the moment he generally feeds every 2-3 hours during the day (breastmilk) and sleep for maybe an hour - 1 1/2 hours in between. He clusters feeds through later arvo to early evening - from about 5pm to 8pm then goes down for a big sleep - 5-6 hours. He sometimes starts this sleep later but it all depends. He then feeds 3-4 hourly during the night till it starts all over again. He's not a snacker and he is usually quite easy to settle except for one crazy time of the day.

What I want to know is:
1. Do I keep following his lead with lots of feeds during the day or should I try and stretch him out (it's been hot so that's why I figured he was feeding lots)

2. I have tried dreamfeeding twice - this doesn't make his night sleep go longer - will it ever work or should I give up on that one?

3. If he doesn't sleep in between day feeds should I try harder to settle him or just feed him again?

Sorry about the long ramble but just trying to do what's best. I think we're pretty good at settling him but I am worried that as he gets older he is already getting into a pattern of feeding HEAPS during the day although he does pretty well at night. He is a VERY good weight so no probs there.

Any ideas would be great!
