It's important to feed a newborn baby every 2-3 hours. This might mean occasionally waking your baby even if he/she's been sleeping peacefully. American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also recommends waking your baby to feed if he/she sleeps more than 4-5 hours at a time for the first two weeks.

For NB can wake baby up, subsequently can feed on demand.
