Is this the first time it ever happened? If so it’s fine if the baby is active and doing well. But make sure you wake the baby up for feeding every 2 or 3 hours atleast. Even if the baby is seeping, it’s our job to wake the baby up for feeds. Such long gap is not okay

Yes you need to feed every 2nd hourly
Suppose if you don't give for 5hrs then blood sugar or glucose levels will be low which is very harmful to your kid
