Baby feed only when crying after midnight

Im a FTM, and my baby is currently 9 days old. He’s on formula milk fully and feed every 3hrs. However sometimes to keep our sanity at night, as he would not sleep at all once he’s awake at night till daylight, we would feed him every 3 hours day to night but after midnight, we would only feed him if he wakes up and cry, can be every 4 hours or so. So far he’s still slowly gaining weight. His jaundice is still within normal range of 191. Is it ok? #firstbaby #FTM

for my LO 1st month, nanny took care of her so every 3 hours she was being fed, afterwards i took care of my LO and only fed my her when she wakes up because she wont want to drink milk if i would to wake her up to do so. yes, i tried before and she cry, doesn't want to drink milk, only wants to sleep back. this lasted til when she was about 2 months old, then she slept all the way til morning. now that she is 6 months old, her last feed is around 10.30pm and usually gets up around 7am+ for milk. sometimes 9am+
