Hello,
Baby can have longer sleep patterns, if baby is active, feeding well and gaining weight, nothing to worry.
For details, consult your doctor or online consultation.
Take care.

Avoid waking a sleeping baby. If baby is gaining weight, passing urine and otherwise doing well, there is no need to worry. Demand feeding is recommended.

Feeding in newborn is a individual pattern, in night if baby sleep for 4-6 hrs better mother should also sleep in that time slots so in day hrs she can feed her in better ways.
