This is normal. Sleeping habits change with age. After 2 months, they start sleeping for 5-6 hours at night. Weight gain is also good.
Next Steps
Continue exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age.

Weight gain is good. Minimum 8 hours of sleep in a day is required for good development. Allow the baby to sleep at night if baby is taking feeds in the daytime well. Nothing to worry.
Next Steps
Monitor weight gain.

After 2 months , term babies can go without feed for up to 6 hours without feed provided they had a good feed just before going to bed.
They compensate by feeding more in the daytime .. check the weight .. as long weight is improving and baby is active and alert it is normal to sleep through the night .. infact enjoy this as long as it lasts !
