How to do the night feedings of newborn ?

Hi Mummies, I have a question and I am already feeling guilty about it :( Our baby boy is 36 days old. We put alarm every 3 hours at night to feed him but recently due to tiredness I guess, somehow we always miss the alarm and our boy keeps sleeping for 4 hours and sometimes more. Me and my husband both get up startled and guilty that we didn’t wake him up to feed him. Has anyone else faced this ? Is it okay to let the baby sleep through at night if he himself is not getting up ? #firsttimemom #firstbaby

My baby is 5 weeks old. For the last few weeks she could sleep 4-5 hours straight at night so we only feed when she wakes and demand for food. She is gaining weight well so not to worry!

Yes! There was once my baby slept for 6 hours straight even! Haha
