Hello.... You shouldn't feed him as per schedule, it's said that breastfeeding as per demand, you should feed him whenever he feels hunger and artificial nipple is not advised.. If it's obligation then OK otherwise it's better to breastfeed the baby... For a 3 month old baby you need to breastfeed once in every two to three hours..
