Both my babies did this, usually in line with growth spurts they started sleeping 4-7hr stretches here and there and would just eat more when awake. We had to bottle feed so they both went from drinking their 2-4oz to wanting like 6oz after those long stretches. As long as baby is eating and growing, no worries, sleep cycles change constantly

He will be fine. I never really agreed with waking babies up to feed. They need sleep in order to grow and Mamas need sleep in order to heal and be able to care for baby. Follow his natural patterns for sleeping and feeding. My last baby was sleeping through the night by the time he was 6 weeks old. He’s now 11 and is taller than me.

Its ok mama. My boy feeds on demand. Babies dont care about clocks
