3 months is when baby is adjusting sleep patterns. If Baby is gaining weight well and doesn't seem to need the feed, it should be fine to let baby sleep. However, if baby is losing weight or weight gain is stagnating, you may want to consider waking baby up to feed more often.

My daughter is the same! I do wake her up and give her 4oz bottle of formula around midnight i usually have her in bed at 7pm. Then when she gets up at 6am i breast feed her.

Mine is almost 2 months and the longest she can sleep is also 5 hours 😅 then she’s up and drink only 50-70 So Don’t worry I think your baby is perfectly fine

Depends if you subscribe to a strict feed/sleep schedule for your baby. I usually let the baby sleep through bcos he gets cranky when you wake him up

Please do not wake a baby up for feeds unless you don't mind having a cranky baby throughout the day.

It's ok! He is adjusting his sleep timing. If he is sleeping, do not need to wake him up for feeds.

I think as long as ur baby is drinking well, dont have to worry if they sleep longer.

Hi... I suggest that you let your LO sleep as he will wake up if he’s hungry

He is sleeping means he isn't hungry, they will wake up when they are hungry.
