8 week olds sleeping

My 8 week old baby goes to bed at 19:30 and I have been wakening him up at 4am for a feed.

Is this too long for an 8 week old to go without a feed? Or should I be leaving him to sleep and letting him wake when he's ready?
What I am asking is how long is too long for a 8 week old baby to sleep overnight?

He feeds well during the day and has at least 2 dirty nappies and plenty of wet nappies per day.

He was 7lbs 13oz @ birth and now over 12lbs

Thank you.

Speak to your HV for medical advice but in my experience babies wake up when hungry so as long as baby is well in themselves, has plenty of wet nappies in 24hrs etc just let baby sleep. They'll let you know when they are hungry or uncomfortable
