Did he just do that?

Did my 8 week old son really just sleep from 9-5am. He woke up at 5 and didn't even finish his whole bottle he was out again.
During the night he did make a bit of noise and movement. But I kept looking and he was sleeping.
Should I have gotten him up? Or let him tell me when it's time to eat?
Also I know he slept great but of course I'm up every 2-3 hours. Please tell me I will get used to sleeping again?

    That's awesome! DD has given us a couple of long stretches and it is wonderful. It is hard to sleep but she sleeps in her bassinet right beside me and I'm a pretty light sleeper so I know I'll wake up if she's making any kind of noise and that makes it easier to sleep.

    @km_md. He also sleeps in a playpen beside us. But every noise I'm constantly looking at him and wondering if he wants to eat.

    That is fantastic!  You give me hope.  My LO was up every 1-2 hours last night; I'm blaming it on a growth spurt.  Enjoy it and no need to wake him up.  He will let you know if he is hungry. :)

    That's amazing, and I'm definitely jealous ;)
    This little one tricks me all the time. She gave me a wonderful 4.5hr stretch last night them was up every 1.5-2 hours after that.
    But, yes, definitely let him sleep!

    Wasn't sure if this is part of a growth spurt? Or would he be up more at night during one?
    I hope he keeps this up. But I won't get to excited just yet.

    Gosh - I'm still only getting 3-4 hours at a time, if that. Enjoy that sleep!

    From my understanding, as long as they're over 2 weeks and their growth is established there's no reason to wake them. So I say enjoy it

    Unless he has some medical reason to wake him (like to take meds), let him sleep no matter what. Sleep is when they do their growing. I will say you will get used to sleeping again, but I would not expect lightning to strike twice in the same spot. Babies are unpredictable about everything, especially sleep patterns.

    That's awesome yeah always let them sleep at night, only if he's gaining weight well and all of what @sugarland726 said. I wake mine up during the day though to feed, his dr. Told me to not let him nap over 3 hours during the day, so I've been following that. Mine just did a 6 hour stretch which is nice but it's not every night that he does this. But enjoy when they do
