Is it normal for 5 weeks old baby to sleep through the day 9-12 hours without breast feeding her ? as i couldn't wake her up . thank you

NO: No it's not normal for a 5 week old baby to sleep so long between feeds. She needs to be evaluated NOW! If you can't get in to see her pediatrician then she needs to go to the closest emergency department for eval.
