Magda I hope it did not appear I was saying "every 5 hours" is okay.....but, rather that waiting 5 hours to feed a baby because he is sleeping is not always okay. If they waited for baby to wake...and some babies do not...then in the early weeks it would be impossible to get 8-12 feedings in a 24 hour time period.
