Is it normal for an almost 4 week old to sleep for 6 and a half hours at night?

Question

FTM here. My daughter ate last night at 10:00. We finally got her to sleep at 12:00 and she didn’t wake up until 6:30 AM. Is that normal? Should I start setting a timer to wake her up to eat? It may have been a one time thing though...

Answer

If she is sleeping that long at night then let her sleep. Don’t wake that baby! You can feed her more during the day if you feel like she isn’t gaining weight but not feeding her during that time shouldn’t effect her weight

Answer

Totally normal my baby has done this since birth.... well if she could! I have to wake her to eat but after she regained her weight I let her sleep longer at night! She was 3 wks when I started letting her sleep 6-7 hrs at night. She's 8 weeks not and has almost doubled her birth weight! Just make sure to feed your LO more during the day

Answer

For now wake her up every 5-6 hrs till her6 weeks check, if she has formula then she might sleep longer.

Answer

We bf and we let her sleep 6 hrs. I just pump around 1:30am and 3am. Shes done it this entire past week, hoping it lasts.

Answer

My LO doctor said we could let her go up to 6/7hours when we went to her 2week appt. But that may vary between children and their weight gain
