To Feed or Not to Feed...

This weekend was busy and exciting for Ryker. He got to see his Aunt Sonja again and got to meet his Aunt Courtnie for the first time (she flew from Pennsylvania). We went out on the town a couple times and he did great at the restaurants and at the mall. He almost slept through the night twice this weekend which I was thrilled about. This did not last long! Last night, Ryker woke every hour or two. My concern now is whether it is a good idea to allow him to nurse each time he wakes up. I am sure that he is not hungry but he acts like he wants to eat. I do not want to get him on a schedule during the night that he feels like he has to nurse because I fear that he will continue that schedule when he is older. I am going to try and keep up with his feedings during the night so that I don't feel like I am starving him if I choose not to feed him. The issue will be whether I can get him to sleep as quickly if he doesn't nurse. Tonight should be interesting!
