Breastfed baby long sleep through night

[FTM1903]

Hi my baby is 2 weeks old and over the last few nights had had a stretch of approx 4-5 hours of non stop sleep. I am aware bf babies need fed every 2-3 hours at this age so worried she's hungry? She does cluster feed in the run up to bed time and plenty through the day but just a bit worried, I have tried to feed her when she sleeps but it does r work. Am I overthinking this? Is this ok and normal?
Thanks xxx

Hi there, @FTM1903 , congratulations on your new baby.

That feeding pattern sounds ok to me, if she's still gaining weight and producing wet nappies - 4-5 hours at night shouldn't be a problem, I think. Enjoy the rest if you can! If you're worried, though, you could have a chat with a breastfeeding support service (there are national ones like LLL and NCT, and you might have a local group too), or with your health visitor.

Ah thanks so much that's reassuring!

I was told to wake both of mine up until they had regained their birth weight and that after that you can let them sleep.

@mattieandmummy thanks so much I was also told this but then told don't worry if they are sleeping?? Both by Midwifes - it's a minefield!!
