Hi, My 8 weeks old daughter feeds every 2.5 - 3 hours during day time & at night after we give her a bath, feed & put her to sleep she sometimes sleeps for 4-5 hours a stretch. Her birth weight - 2.9 kg Weight at 7 week 1 day - 4.2 kg Wet diapers - 8-10 per day Stools - once in 3-4 days. Feeds - 8-9 times a day Active when awake. I want to ask how long I can leave her without feeding when she is sleeping? Thanks

Before 2 wks it’s mandatory wake up and feed 2-3 hrs. Baby is fine gaining perfect weight. Baby tolerate 5-7 hrs sleeping after 2 wks , usually they cry if they hungry. Sleep needed for baby for brain growth and also for you
