Under 6-8 weeks you need to wake them because some babies do not have the ability to wake themselves when hungry. That isn't to say you should keep a routine when it comes to feeding, because you shouldn't you should feed on demand. But if a little baby goes longer than 5 hours without food you should feed them. Most babies can eat and only be half awake.

Mothers are often told to wake their newborn for feedings every two hours, and there is a very good reason for this. Newborns are notorious for sleeping through feedings, and it is easy to assume that a sleepy baby is a full, satisfied baby. This is not always the case with newborns (I define newborns as babies two weeks old or younger)

When a baby is very sleepy, what can happen is that he will get into a cycle of not being fed as often as he needs to be. The less he is fed, the more sleepy he becomes. It can be a vicious cycle. Sometimes parents, in need of rest after the birth, are appreciative that they have a baby who doesn't cry much or make many demands on them. They may not realize there are any problems until they go into the Health Care Provider for their baby's weight check. If the baby's weight has been spiralling downward for two weeks, usually the situation will need to be turned around quickly to avoid any long lasting consequences.
