11 week old how many feeds?

My 11 week old DS has begun sleeping thru the night (woohooo!) He sleeps from about 8:30 pm untill 7am. He has been doing this for 5nights now but over the last few days I have been waking him up every 3.5hrs during the day for a breastfeed. If I don't wake him up after 3.5hrs he will wake himself after about 4hours. He has been gaining weight very well and is a 'big' boy . He weighs just over 5kgs but I am worried that he might stop gaining weight. So this is my question should I continue waking him at 3.5hrs or just let him sleep untill he wakes up (closer to the 4hr mark)???? Is he having enough feeds during the day to continue his weight gain?

my dd sleeps from 10 til 8, but during the day she feeds 1.5 to 2.5 hourly.... i thought she would be feeding less by 12 weeks....:rolleyes: i thought it might have been boredom, but even when we are out and about it is still the same....:wall:
