Do bigger babies sleep better

Question

My little one was full term but was born 5.5lbs. Right now at almost 7 weeks he is 10lbs, but he would not sleep more than 2hrs. I’m exclusively breast feeding him, so I feed him on demand. As you can imagine, I’m starting to burn out. I’m just wondering if weight has to do with stomachs size and how long they stay full and sleep. What you all think?

Answer

Well my baby was 2oz shy of 9lbs at birth and was weighing in at 10lbs at 4 weeks old, he’s 8 weeks old tomorrow and while I don’t know his weight exactly, I can guess maybe 12ish, and he doesn’t sleep worth a damn 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I think some babies are just easier than others. Some are great sleepers, others have colic. It’s just the luck of the draw. My first was difficult and never slept well, whereas my second is a breeze. Interesting theory though!

Answer

My son was born at 10.2lbs and he is a horrible sleeper 😭 at 9 weeks we are slowly starting  get better 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Answer

My baby was 10 lbs 8 oz at birth. And he'll be two months on the 20th and I'm guessing he's at least 12 lbs. at the hospital they supplemented him cause of sugar issues, and the nurses would tell me that since he's a bigger baby he needs a little extra. So I was always told that it was okay to give him a half an ounce extra after breast feeding. Just cause he was always hungry and waking up. My daughter was smaller and she slept threw the night.

Answer

I don’t think the weight matters. My first was 7.4 and slept all night starting at 6 weeks. My second was 9.4 and was constantly awake. He was still waking up at least 1 time a night at almost a year old

Answer

My daughter was born 2 weeks early and weighed 6.5lb when we came home from the hospital. Has been sleeping through the night since 4 weeks.

Answer

My guy was 5 days overdue. Born at 9lbs 2oz. He’s currently 8 weeks old and weighs 15.5 lbs. he sleeps 6 hour stretches at night

Answer

My 7 weaker is about 15 lb and sleeps 2 or 3 hrs at a time at night. Only got 4 he stretch a couple times so far. I don't think the weight matters lok

Answer

Baby was a week early via c section, weight 6lb 13oz now 7 weeks and 10lb 3oz and sleeps okay I guess. Sleeps good when the night starts then slowly gets to only an hour then I just give up about 7-8 cause he wakes up every hour starting at 5am.
