Baby feeding pattern

Hi all!
This is absolutely not a boast it really isn't! I'm a first time mum and I worry about everything.

So I have a 14 week old baby boy. He was 8lbs when born and now 15lb 6oz so gaining weight nicely and he's in 3-6 months clothes. He's a chunky baby (relevent)

He had just started to sleep though. But like 7pm - 7am. Which yes is lovely but is he ok to go that length of time without a feed? Should I be waking him? He's only just started this the past week. Before that he would wake anytime between 3am-5am for one feed.

He feeds around 7oz formula every 3hrs ish in the day!

Thank you

Sounds like he's getting plenty in the day. I wouldn't worry at all and enjoy the sleep while you can. My boys feeding/sleeping routine changed quite frequently.

Is he getting the correct amount of formula in the time he is up? Even if he’s not then I’d go with it but have him weighed regularly; apart from the small number of babies who never wake for a feed I tend to think that if they’re not waking then they’re not hungry for it and will be fine. My DD didn’t start taking 7oz in one feed until she was 6 months so he’s probably getting plenty across the daytime.
When he goes through a growth spurt he might start waking again so enjoy this part.

He's gaining weight so I'd let him crack on
