Sleep requirement varies among babies,but at this age,they can sleep for 12-18 hours,in small stretches of 3-4 hours. This is normal. Do NOT wake him up for feeds,he'll get up for feeds when hungry. For good weight gain,give breastfeeds at a gap of atleast 2-1/2 to 3 hours,maintain hygiene in feeds.
