Newborn nursing question

[luckytwenty]

Hi from the hospital!! My little guy is doing great with nursing--it's day 3 and my milk is transitioning in, and there are dirty diapers galore. But he doesn't nurse every 2 hours. Sometimes it's every hour, sometimes it's 3 or 4. He last nursed at 8 a.m. for about 40 minutes and is happily asleep. I've been getting conflicting info from the nurses. Some are saying I need to do every 2 hours no matter what. But because he's doing well, I'm not sure if that's necessary?? My instincts are kind of saying to follow HIS lead here...although his lead would also suggest I not even bother offering my left breast, so maybe not so much...:-P
