Thanks so much for your response! He does eat about every 3 hours during the day and night...I wasn't sure when I could stretch it out a bit...I know my friend is doing 4 hour stretches with her babe, but he's formula fed as well so that does make a difference.
Right now our days are looking somewhat like this, but it's really all over the place w/times and even lengths of naps. But generally it is 2 longer naps, 1 45-ish min nap and either a short cat nap at the end of the day or he pushes through, just gets sleepy while nursing around 6pm, but doesn't take a nap.
7:30am wake, nurse few mins
9-11 nap (nurse before putting him in the crib)
awake time
12:30-1:30 nap (nurse before putting him in the crib)
3-3:45 nap (nurse before putting him in the crib)
5:30-6 nap (nurse before putting him in the crib)
7:30 bed (nurse before putting him in the crib)
10:30pm nurses, I put him back in crib
12am nurses, I bring him into our bed
Last night I tried to nurse him and put him back in his crib. He was up 10:30pm, 1:30am, 3:30am, 5:30am (I gave up and brought him into bed at this point. I don't want to be inconsistent, but all the waking + my older son had woken twice so I was exhausted)
I appreciate your advice and suggestions!!
