ha..your son is only 5 weeks old!! of course he won't have a steady schedule..

also, expect for a growth spurt to happen around 6 weeks, and again around 3 months...when it happens, he will want to eat every 2 hours or so!! Are you feeding formula? if yes, then it is probably best to take turns taking care of baby with your husband...if both of you are awake at the same time, then no one will get enough rest and soon you will feel very irritated at each other and annoyed...trust me, not enough sleep = bad tempers

probably around the third month or so baby will soon develop a sleeping schedule..then you MIGHT be able to sleep a bit longer..haha...some people will suggest you to "sleep-train" your baby and let him cry it out..but..sometimes a baby's body is just not ready to sleep for so long without feeding. So..it depends. Hopefully your son will develop his own schedule soon and you can sleep whenever he sleeps!
