"Baby Feeding Schedule Gone Bad!"

"My husband, you have to understand, gets his "facts" and important/pertinent information from either googling it or reading it from a book in black-n-white. He doesn't seem to believe what I tell him--so why bother asking me? lol

As far as our daughter's feeding schedule, at the time she was 2 months old and at that age they tend to be hungry almost every 2-3 hours..plus you need to feed them every 2-3 hours anyway..at the least 2 hours. My husband read in this baby book that they need to be fed every 4 hours!

To make a long story short, I had to work an overnite shift and the next morning I got wind that neither my mom or my mother-in-law fed the baby at one point in the evening because ( according to my M.I.L ) "the boss says it's too early to feed her." ( ?!?) and our daughter was crying for almost 30-45 minutes.. both the 'grandmas' 'held off' so that they wouldn't have conflict since he's the 'father' and what he said goes. :o[

After 5 more minutes, both grandmas couldn't take it anymore and finally made our little one a bottle.

I was furious hearing about this. All 2 month olds do are feed, sleep, or pee n poop! His reason for trying to get her into a feeding schedule was so she wouldn't become "overweight". I felt that was ridiculous!
