My daughter is 5 weeks old. she will eat 4oz and in 2 hours she wants more. she also wants to eat at 8pm no matter when she ate last. is this normal?

Most important...: ...Is her weight gain - if she is gaining appropriately, then whatever schedule she follows is working for her. What you are describing certainly does not sound like a problem in itself - again, if the weight gain is normal.

As long as she's not: Spitting up & she's gaining 2/3- 1oz./day, okay. Use the consistent 8 pm bedtime with a routine: read, rock & wipe out her mouth after the last feed. Put her in her crib in her own room, on her back, drowsy but awake. Allowing her to self-calm consolidates sleep between 1-4 mos. Good habits before implicit/procedural memory develops @ 5 mos. Reduce risk of sleep problems at 6 mos & older.
