Actually I have a very similar problem with my 1 month old. In the evenings he does not want to wake up.

Are we supposed to wake them up if they are supposed to be eating according to their 3 mo cycle?

While you are still trying to establish a routine and while your lo's are still so young, I would definitely recommend waking them for their feedings duirng the day.  You want to ensure that they get most of their calories during the day so that it will start eliminating your night wakings.  You also don't want them to start confusing night time as day time.

I agree with Paula.

Also babies sleep most of the time the first 6 weeks, afterwards they will be awake more and it will be easier to implement of routine  ;)
