4 week old slept for 8 hours

My 4 week old slept for 8 hours last night before she wanted a feed (last feed around 7;30pm and next woke for one at 3:30am).

We were told previously we wouldn't need to wake her but at the time she was naturally waking every 3-4 hours, meaning she would wake twice during the night.

This means she has had 1 less feed. Do we need to try and catch up to make up for it?

She is above birth weight, I'm just a first time mum so want to make sure I can do everything right!

You don’t need to purposefully catch her up, she’ll let you know if she’s still hungry and wants more x
