Feeding routine

Harry is almost 12wks old and i'm trying to get him into a regular rotine with his daytime feeds, as a way of getting him to nap better in the day and nite.

I aim to feed him at 8am, 12, 4 and 8, give or take depending on sleep patterns. He is currently having 5oz, or almost that much each feed.

Usually after a feedof hungrier baby formula at 8pm ish we put him in his cot using the PUPDCD method and he can sleep up until 1.30/2.30am ish for a feed. He generally settles quickly and sleeps till 5.30. I then he to settle him again which can take up to 30 mins, with plenty of crying and resistance, but he generally goes back off and can sleep till bout 7.30/8am.

Is this an acceptable routine for a child of his age? Should i wake him if he sleeps over feeding times during the day? Should we bring his pre-bedtime feed forward? Should we dream feed him or leave him to wake on his own for nite time feed?
