You can feed her when she wakes. It's called on demand feeds. The baby is the best guide for her feeding. Don't go by the clock.

First few days, we advise the mother to feed every two hours. After that there is demand feeding. That means the baby is the decider for when to get milk. There is no need to wake him up for feeds. That will irritate him more and cause disturbed sleep. Your baby's weight is normal
