As long as baby is showing all the signs of getting enough at the breast, sleeping for 6 hours should be ok.
Read "Is My Baby Getting Enough Milk?" to learn more about how to make sure baby is getting enough.
If you are still concerned about your baby sleeping that long between feedings, contact your local La Leche League or your doctor for reassurance.
It's alright as long as you provide him enough food during the day and giving the utmost care at night. Baby security blankets may be used for him to sleep peacefully. In return, you would gain peace of mind because of no disturbance. This gives you the benefit of having no stress when you wake up at morning.
Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

Baby security blankets are a product you are selling.
They are not a cure-all.
