Please tell me your 6/7 week old babies routines

From what time they wake up, how much they eat at each feeding & how long between them, how much they are awake during the day, bedtime and their sleeping schedule!
I just feel like DH are doing something wrong. DS still does not have a "steady" routine yet. And I don't know if he is still young, or it's just us! I also pump and give him bottles. He eats between 3-4 oz. each feeding usually every 3-4 hours. But twice it was 5 hours, Is that ok?

My ds will be 6 weeks on Monday and he eats about 4 oz (pumped milk) every 3 hours...sometimes 4. At night he really only likes a small snack around 3am and then back to bed until 5ish. The only real routine that I have with him revolves around bath and bed bc I do it after my 2 year old goes to bed.

My DD set her own routine, she basically just ate and slept at that age. She really didn't have much awake time and always wanted to go back to sleep after a bottle.

She was getting 4oz of pumped BM every 3 hours. I supplemented with formula at night and typically she would have a bottle around 8-8:30, go to bed and then most of the time would sleep until 2am-ish. Have a bottle, and go back to sleep until 6am. But she ate like clockwork every 3 hours.
