I would weigh him before you feed him and then weigh him straight afterwards, that way you know some has gone in. Its good he is still sucking from Mum, because hopefully that will encourage her milk to come in. I have heard of a queen taking 10 days for her milk to come in properly.

he is defiantly getting it
not spilling a drop lol
fed him at 4.30 and put him with mum and he latched on and is still rummaging about now
