As per your history, this is normal in newborns. Sleep cycle will be better by 2-3 months of age.
Every 3-4 hrs you should feed your baby. If she is asleep for more than 4 hrs, you can wake her up by rubbing soles.
How many times is she passing urine per day?
Remember to always breastfeed in night for better milk production.
