Sleep at stretch without waking  fr feed

2019-04-23 21:15:26
1.5 month old. Sleeps sometimes at a stretch for 6 to 8 hours without waking up for feed in between. I am confused if I should let her sleep or wake her up in between. Because I tried to breastfeed her while she was sleeping but she dint. So should I wake her to feed her in every 2 or 3 hrs?

I normally advise demand feeding. If your baby sleeps well after feeding and wakes up on own after a long sleep time then don't worry. If you have to forcibly wake up the baby after 6-8hrs then please visit a Paediatrician.
