As long as your baby is feeding fine and putting on weight they should be aloud to sleep for as long as desired. If not then probably no more than 6 hours I'd wake them up for a feed.

there is no "should" . Their tummies will wake them up when they're ready. At 8 weeks, my daughter started sleeping 11 hrs straight, 5 out of 7 nights (I kept a detailed log for her first 7 mths)

That went crazy when she got her first teeth at 7 mths and I stopped logging it as it was too depressing to actually write down her sleep pattern :p She's been a pretty 'goos' sleeper from birth though. I followed the "Eat, Activity, Sleep, You" (E.A.S.Y.) pattern suggested by Tracey Hogg and it worked a treat for us.

All babies are different. Some still wake every 2-3 hours while others are beginning to sleep 6-8 hours a night. My daughter had colic and didnt sleep well for a long time but my son started sleeping 6-8 hour stretches at 2 months. Both breastfed and born at similar weights. I would only be concerned if the baby is not gaining weight. Then you might need to wake them to eat after 4-6 hours.

Don't worry about how long they sleep.. Count it as a blessing if they sleep through the night .. My little Kendyll sleeps from 9-7 since 2mo and she will be four months Saturday :)

As long as they want, though they usually will wake up every couple hours. But if you're worried about them sleeping too long, don't. They'll wake up when their hungry.
