Would you be worried if your 2 week old slept from 3-845pm? ...
I tried waking him from 615-745 to eat. I bathed him dressed him and he still didn't budge. I tried again to wake him up at 8 with no result. He finally woke up at 845 drank 3 oz and fell back to sleep.
It's kind of worrying me

At 2 weeks old, no I wouldn't be concerned. DD is just over a month old and sometimes has longer awake stretches and sleep stretches depending on the day.

He slept through a bath? DD slept a lot when she was that little but would usually wake when undressed her and definitely for a bath...

Re: Would you be worried if your 2 week old slept from 3-845pm? ...
I think that stretch is too long for a two week old. My ped wanted us to wake DD in those first few weeks if she went longer than 3-4 hrs because she wouldn't be eating enough and they wanted to ensure she was gaining properly.
I would say, don't panic yet. See how he is tomorrow. If it was one random, weird day of sleep I wouldn't stress but if he seems to be sleeping like that a lot, then I would be a little more concerned. See how tomorrow goes.

This....could have just been a total fluke!

In the first two weeks, DD could sleep through anything. It was impossible to wake her when she got like that. I could rub her whole head down with a COLD washcloth to try to wake her and it didn't work. She grew out of it after about two weeks.
Once her weight gain was well established, I didn't wake her to eat anymore. Every once in a while she'd nap for 5 hours and I would let her. I figure there's a reason she's napping and if she wanted to eat she would wake up. As long as she got enough feedings in for the day I wasn't worry about how long she went between and two feedings.

At 2-3 weeks I wouldn't be worried. This is around the time when they enter their first of several growth spurts. Some kids deal with them by sleeping a lot and others are cranky. As long as there are no weight concerns I would take a deep breath, relax and take a nap yourself!!

Thank you everyone! I was a little concerned because I couldn't wake him for anything. He woke ate then slept again till 1230 but woke every 4 hours at night so I guess he was just extra tired.

My ped said as long as he's gaining weight, not to wake him.
Are you FF or BF? When I was BF I found it a lot harder to wake DS to eat. Now that I'm FF I can just pop a bottle in his mouth and he'll eat even if he's sleeping.

Not if the baby was generally a good eater and gaining weight sufficiently. If the baby wasnt gaining enough weight, I'd wake him her every 4 hours to eat. Pick them up, change the diaper, tickle their feet a little, feed them, change them, back to bed. If baby had gained and was at or past original birthweight, id let him or her sleep.

He might be starting to confuse days and nights. Personally I would not be quiet during the day. Keep him by a window so he gets some natural light. Change him even when he is sleeping and try to feed him like you did. At night when you feed him dont talk to him, keep the lights off (or dim) and try not to make eye contact. I know that might sound mean but this is what my DD#1's dr told me to do when she got days and nights confused.
