Bathing and feeding

Hi mummies. My baby is 12 days old. I realise today that he has been waking up every 1. 5-2 hours for his feeds. Each feed he is drinking around 60ml. In the beginning, his feeds were every 3 hours. May I know if he is cluster feeding? I also want to check if I should bath baby everyday? So far we only bathe him twice. And whether to clean baby's tongue w a wet cloth?? Lastly just to share, my baby was bottle fed in the hospital. Because of this, he doesn't want to latch on me. Can anyone share any useful advice on how to reverse this? I wished he tried latching... He always gets impatient and push my breast away

There could be some growth spurt and it's okay to feed if baby wants to drink. My baby is alr drinking about 80-90ml/feed. In the recent weather, good to bathe baby at least once a day. Yep can clean baby's tongue too to prevent oral thrush. Could it be ur flow is slow or too fast? I'm nt the best person to advise, perhaps u can join the bf FB grp to seek for advise?
