How to do the night feedings of newborn ?

Hi Mummies, I have a question and I am already feeling guilty about it :( Our baby boy is 36 days old. We put alarm every 3 hours at night to feed him but recently due to tiredness I guess, somehow we always miss the alarm and our boy keeps sleeping for 4 hours and sometimes more. Me and my husband both get up startled and guilty that we didn’t wake him up to feed him. Has anyone else faced this ? Is it okay to let the baby sleep through at night if he himself is not getting up ? #firsttimemom #firstbaby

hihi! for my daughter's 1st month, my nanny would feed her every 3 hours even though she was asleep. now she is 5 weeks old i just let her sleep til she wakes up and cry for milk. sometimes she can sleep for 4-6 hrs, sometimes 3 hrs then she will wake up and cry for milk. i think it is ok for babies to feed on demand😂
