how much sleep is too much or too little?

Question

my baby will be 2 months on the 8th. he sleeps about 4 hrs now straight.  is this too soon? and is that too long not to eat for him?

Answer

my baby is almost a month old and has slept 4-5hrs at a time since he was 2wks old. I talked with the dr and considering my son gained 16oz in 6days at his 2week checkup (he eats 4-5oz at a feeding) he was 110% fine with it. It just depends on if your baby is gaining well. I would talk to your pediatrician to make sure but I physically CANNOT wake up my son when he is asleep so there was no way I could feed him even when I tried. (and i had tried everything: forcing mouth open, changing diaper, changing positions, everything 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Answer

As long as he is at or above his birth weight, he should be okay (call and ask your dr to be sure/peace of mind). My son was sleeping 6-8 hrs a night by the time he was 3 weeks old and naps were anywhere from 45min-4 hrs. Trust your instincts, mama! You got this!

Answer

Totally normal, mine was doing 6 hour sleeps by then, unless your doctor says otherwise you don't need to wake him to eat

Answer

Perfectly normal. Mine did the same
