No, they wake up every night for about 6-8 weeks and if you don't feed them
within 5-10 minutes (the baby will decided how long you get) all hell
breaks
loose.

Now, why didn't I think of that before with my 2.... Anyway, it won't work
unless you can arrange the feeding to be automatic.!!
The last line is not need if you have a ready supply of warm milk lying
next

If you could do this, you would be the richest man in the world and with

long
time!!!! :o)
