my 2 month old baby sleeps around 6 hours at a stretch at night. in daytime she doesn't sleep so long continuously. half hour, one hour like this for around 3-4 hours total in daytime. my query is, is it safe to sleep 6 hours so long continuously? should we let her sleep like this, or wake up her for feeding?

A. During first two months you should maintain a gap of two hours between two feedings. But after completing two months it is advisable to feed your baby only on demand and do not give any forceful feeding on particular timings same for night
