Thank you, Baby Whisperer!
Here's our current feeding schedule - or at least how it would look on an ideal day - (for anyone who's interested... I'm mainly posting it for the sake of my own memory):
3-Hour E.A.S.Y.* Routine -
8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM
Cluster Feedings -
7:00 PM, 9:00 PM
Dream Feed** -
11:00 PM
4:00/5:00 AM - feeding (if needed)
*E.A.S.Y. means Eat, Activity, Sleep/You Time
**The "Dream Feed" is feeding the baby without waking him up so as to "tank him up" to get him through the night. The Baby Whisperer says it should happen between 10-11 PM, but never later than 11.

So far, Cameron hasn't had an actual "Dream Feed" because he's been awake and ready to eat at that time anyway. But, it's accomplishing the goal (getting him to sleep through until 4 or 5), so I guess it doesn't matter much. He's eating 4-5 ounces at each feeding, which is right on target for an almost 6-week-old (according to The Baby Whisperer, of course).
Braden is STILL having tummy/BM trouble. We're trying to decide if he should go to preschool tomorrow or not. :(
