Eating less and sleeping longer..is that normal?

Question

My baby ate at 10 PM and I woke up panicking at 4 wondering why he hadn't cried because he was hungry and he ate 5 oz. He usually eats every 3-4 hours but it was nice to get some extra sleep. He is 9 weeks old.

Answer

Totally normal. There will be times they don't eat as much and don't sleep as much, and there will also be times where they eat a little more and sleep more. When my daughter was 8 weeks, she had a week that she was eating 8 OUNCES every 3 hours and sleeping so hard it was scary. Nothing to worry about at all. It'll fluctuate every now and then, it's just their body growing and figuring things out.

Answer

As long as they have reached their birthweight and are still gaining I would never wake a sleeping baby. They will wake and let you know when they are hungry.

Answer

Oh.... I live for the night my little man sleeps more then two hours at a stretch lol!
