Is it okay to make my baby wait longer at night to eat?

Dana
My baby is 3 weeks old and is waking up at night every hour to 2 hours wanting to eat. My pediatrician told me he should be eating anywhere from every 3-5 hours at night and he's clearly not.. am I okay to make him wait a little longer to help him realize he doesn't need to eat so often at night? I am literally getting no sleep because when I'm done feeding him I have to pump and then by the time I go to bed he's hungry again...
