big babies sleep better???

Question

Is this true?? I was told, babies sleep better through the night when they're born big 8+ lbs.. anyone found this to be true? I know babies should be fed through the night but I was also told, if they're sleeping you should leave them sleep vs wake them to feed.

Answer

My son was 9.1 at birth. He is almost 4 months old and has never slept more than 3 hours at night. I am a very exhausted mommy lol

Answer

Hahaha no! Not for me, my daughter was 8+ pounds and woke up for feeding every night tell 11 months old

Answer

My son was small, 6lbs2oz at birth, just over 5 and a half lbs when we brought him home, and aside from the first week or so when our pediatrician told us to wake him every two hours to feed, he was always a good sleeper. He'd sleep 4-5 hours at a time at night and by three months old he was sleeping through the night anywhere from 7-9 hours.

Answer

My daughter was 8lbs, 15 oz and slept 5 hours the night we brought her home from the hospital and it has only gotten better. She'll be two in February and has only ever woken up in the middle of the night twice in her life. She currently sleeps 12 hours straight every night. And I never woke her up at night to feed her. Ever. Lol
