Mel, I"m going to give you one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received "trust your instinct" - if you think he needs to sleep, let him...YOU know best. Personally, I'd let him sleep and feed him when he gets up. He's has lots of time for schedules etc. Imagine what a shock life is for his system right now! He needs you to do everything for him, and he's smart enough to let you know it. You will soon learn to differentiate his cries so you'll know a bit more of what's going on. Feed by a clock? No thanks, is what I say.
