A newborn not waking up at night is generally not a cause for concern, but it should be evaluated based on age and health status.

In the first 2-3 weeks, newborns have very small stomachs and usually need to be fed every 2-3 hours. If your baby is sleeping longer than 4-5 hours and you have difficulty waking them, this could be a sign of jaundice—you should consult a pediatrician in this case.

However, a baby older than 1 month who is healthy and gaining weight appropriately can sleep longer at night, and this is a normal part of development. What matters is: is your baby getting enough nutrition during the day, is the diaper count normal, and is your baby alert and awake when they do wake up?

In short: be careful about longer sleep during the first weeks when there's a jaundice risk; after that, you can trust your baby's own rhythm. If you have any suspicions, consult your pediatrician.
