This sounds good to me. A baby who can sleep through the night and feed enough during the day to gain weight at a normal rate is fine. I have seen it happen as early as 2 weeks of age. If a kid is a premi or under 8 lbs I always push the night feeds even if I must wake them to do so, but heavier kids I leave alone.

A two month old who is sleeping through the night and still gaining weight is a treasure to his parents and very healthy. He is getting enough calories through the daytime if he is maintaining growth and weight gain. Congratulations!
