Let babies sleep...: If she is happy and growing, just leave her alone. After 3 months of age, parents can give a feeding at 10 p.m. or thereabouts, and expect the baby to sleep 6 hours. If a normal baby sleeps 6-8 hours and is fine the next day, she'll eat enough during the day to make up for sleeping all night (and parents will sleep well at night, too). A normal 8-week baby sleeping well at night = lucky parents.

Night feeding: You are blessed, don't wake her up to eat. If she is realy hungry she will wake up on her own. I hope she continues like that. Enjoy your bundle of joy.

Congratulations!: As long as your baby is full term, well grown, with no other problems complicating the birth that require attention from your pediatrician, this is fine! Enjoy your rest! Congratulations on the new baby!
