Put your baby on a strict 4 hour feeding routine. Also let them cry, it is good for them and they won't get spoiled. Wow I would never make my baby cry for 2 hours to get fed. Also I think picking them up when they cry teaches they you will always be there for them, not spoil them!

There's something to that clean underwear! My mom used to say that, too. When I fell and dislocated my elbow the first thing I said to my mom after telling her I was in the hospital, was that at least I was wearing clean underwear! Silly.
