Newborn during 1st month of life usually sleep for almost 20hrs in a day. So need to wake up the child and feed atleast once in 3hrs. As they grow up the sleeping time reduces and you will have to feed only when he's hungry.

Newborns sleep from 16 to 18 hours .This time will gradually reduce on it's own as the baby grows older . Wake the baby every 3 -4 hours for feeds in a semi demand schedule
