Let sleeping : Babies sleep. If your baby is growing and gaining fine, I see no need in waking a sleeping infant. Babies can regulate the quantity they eat from one feed to the next. As they grow, it's normal for feeds to stretch out also. And last night might have been a fluke. I'd just enjoy the extra sleep.
