Q.

Hi doctor, My baby is 5 weeks old and she started to sleep throughout the night (6-7 hours) doesn’t wakes up for feeding. If she wakes then she drinks for less than 5 minutes. During day time she feed every 3-4 hourly( less than 15 minutes). She pees around 8 times a day and poops 3 times. Is it okay to sleep throughout? Do I need to wake her up? Even if I wake her she will feed only for less that 5 minutes at night.
