My 2months baby sleeps 5 to 6 hrs continuously during the day, is this normal?

Depends: Babies might sleep this long during the day if you let them, flipping the normal day/night pattern. Babies are often comforted by having the drone of day activities & may drift in & out of sleep easier during the day than at night. I would encourage you to cut the day sleep to a 2.5 hr maximum followed by a feeding. This can push the longer sleep time into the night when you try to get your's.
