2.5mth baby sleeping through the night
Can 2.5 months old baby go without feeding for 6 to 8 hours?
My baby boy is 2.5 months and weighs 5.35kg. His birth weight was 3.4kg
For past 2 weeks, he has been sleeping 6 hours in the night without feeding. He is exclusively breastfed baby, and takes about 8-10 feeds in entire day with feed time being 20-30mins per session, and gap between feeds of about 2-3 hour.
. He sleeps about 16-17 hours in the entire day and his wake window in 60-90 minutes incl, feeding time.
During evenings sometimes he demands feed in 1.5hours
Is it okay for him to sleep for 6 hours straight
without feeding ?

Get him checked with a pediatrician in person. If all clinical paramters are fine, I guess there is no need to worry.
