When does one start letting their child sleep through the night?

Question

Im a first time mom so just curious to when are you suppose to stop waking them up ever 2-3hours for feeding? Like how many months? Or when did your child start sleeping through the night and no longer needed feeding every 2-3 hours?

Answer

Never woke up my daughter and she slept through the night starting at one month old.
She already passed her birth weight at 3 days old, so there was no issues with it.

Answer

I did that 2-3 hours thing for a month and I found that my LO was always tired and would never finish a bottle coz she would fall asleep. So I started letting her sleep at night. I let her go for 6hours at most until she was 2months. And carried on with 2-3hourly feeds during the day. When she was 3months she was sleeping for nearly 8 hours at night before waking for a feed. She is 5months now and has 10hours at night and 3-4 hours during the day.

Answer

Never woke my daughter for a feed, not even in the hospital. The first night after the second time of them waking me up I told them to leave me alone that when she’s ready she will wake me which she did an hour later. She would wake up every 4 hours to eat for the first 2 months but she only just now started sleeping all night and she’s 1 1/2

Answer

Only did it for the first two weeks, at 3 weeks I started letting my son just sleep through the night, he sleeps from 9/10pm till 5am for a feed and then back down to sleep

Answer

I never really woke my son, he would only sleep 2 hours maybe 3 max. He started sleeping about 6 hours straight around 2 months. He's now almost 5 months and sleeps 8 to 11 hours straight.

Answer

We never woke our son. But peds often recommend doing it until they get back to birthweight.
