Sleeping too long?

Hi,
Just after a little advice. My almost 11 week year old has started to sleep up to 7 hours a night for the past week. I know I should not complain but it seems like so long and he is still so little. He is breast fed and feeds 2 - 3 hourly in the day. Also has a bit of a cluster feed before he conks out at about 9 pm. We do have a bed time routine of bath at 7, then a little play on his mat, and then feeds until he has had enough and fall alsleep. Should I just go with the flow or wake him for a feed? His weight gain is fine.
Thanks

Envy Sounds ok to me!

My 10 mo still wakes at least twice a night. Very jealous!

That's why I worry that it's too long. Maybe it's just a phase. Before the past week he still woke twice a night, maybe at 1am then again at 4 or 5. He always seems to sleep well as soon as he is in a dark room and cozy.

It's the 1am feed he has dropped.

I've now know a few BF baby's (including one of mine) who have done a longer streach of sleep around this age, maybe last's a few week's then the sleep regresion kick's in so enjoy the extra sleep while you can.
