1 month old sleeping for 4 / 4.5 hours at night?

Question

So I have been nursing on demand and normally baby will wake me up every 2-3 hours at night and during the day, but lately I noticed she is having one long stretch of sleep that will be 4 /4.5 hours long.
Should I start setting a alarm or is this pretty normal and something to just let be?

Answer

As long as her weight is up to a healthy level, you don’t need to feed her every 2 hours like in the very beginning. I BF on demand as well and my son nurses every 3-4 hours each night. (He’s just over 2 months) Enjoy the extra sleep! lol

Answer

Our dr told us since our girl had gained enough weight at her 2 week apt that it was fine to let her sleep and not wake her up.

Answer

Mines 2 months, breastfed, and sleeps 6-7.5 hour stretches now. It’s glorious.

Answer

Thank you all, really good information to have.

Answer

I’d let baby sleep! Babies go through phases.

Answer

Ask your pediatrician. My babe was doing this but his doctor said he was too little to go long stretches at night at 1 month. He was a late term preemie but gaining well for reference

Answer

I just got out of the hospital and they said they no longer do the 2-3 hour feedings like they used to. As long as the baby is eating at least 8 times a day and it gaining weight there’s no reason why you should be waking them. It was the best thing I had heard because I was prepared to be as mentally exhausted as I was with my first.
