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

My baby is 2 months old, we bath him once a day & clean his tongue once everyday after bathing too. Its important to keep his tongue and gum clean because if it gets infected its gonna be bad. When my baby was few days old he wakes up every 1.5-2hrs too. I will feed whenever he ask for it. But after he turn one month we try to give pacifier because i asked around and other mommies suggested it might be he wants comfort feeding thats why asking for milk so often. I dont give BM :(
