6 week plus and sleep more than 5 hours throughout the night without feeding is it normal?

6 week plus and sleep more than 5 hours throughout the night without feeding is it normal? Should I wake him up for feeding? I realise he was feeding 2-3 hrs in rhe day. 90-120 ml each time. He was 90ml since 3rd week but on the 5th we realise it has no longer satisfied him so after adding 30ml he stopped crying after feeding (90 + 30) and eventually we feed him 120.

Hello short answer is yes please wake the baby every two to three hours for regular feeds until the doctor says otherwise. Baby tummy is super tiny so smol feeds frequently. Get ready to sacrifice ur night sleep please for babys sake. This should last the first couple months or so afterwards longer night sleep stretches for parents n baby. Please ok?

I think it is okay. We were told not to wake a baby up for a feed as sleep should not be disrupted; but also bcs if a baby is hungry he will wake up. Some babies need more or less milk and some are more regular or less about their milk intake. It is perfectly normal. Our baby grew up fine - not a chubby one but that is okay, we all have our own body type. In addition, some days baby need more food/milk and some they need more sleep.
