8w old too *much* sleep?

DD sleeps at nighttime. Will go midnight feed until we wake her up. Have to set alarm to feed her or she’d sleep through a feed window. She will have loads of milk between 7-10pm, maybe 2-3 bottles of 150ml. Today she woke at 7 or so after feeding at about 1am. Minimal crying unless wants milk, is cold or I’ve wiped her nose. Smiley happy etc. Nappies wet so not getting dehydrated. My older DS slept awfully by comparison - every 2 hours would wake up for months. I know I shouldn’t compare but the difference is blindsiding me. Just need reassurance that this is okay that she sleeps at nighttime when I’m so used to no sleep at all. Sorry too as I know I shouldn’t worry either.

Never wake a sleeping baby. She'll wake when hungry. As long as she's gaining weight and plenty of wet and dirty nappies it's fine to Leave her 😊

I think you hear loads of conflicting advice on this but my attitude would be she knows what she wants- embrace the sleep until it causes a problem. If she is happy and gaining weight just enjoy it - maybe don't mention it to zombie mums at baby classes though hehe
