Wake baby up to eat or no ?

Question

My baby has easily been eating every couple hours .. he is a week old today and seems today like I’ve been having to wake him to eat now . He is going on 4 hours now . Is this normal ? Anyone else have their baby do this ?

Answer

As long as baby wasn’t a premie and baby back to his birth weight and also making up for lost feeds through the day. It’s fine to let them sleep they grow when they sleeping. 😊

Answer

Being that young the baby needs to eat every 2-3 hours until baby is at birth weight again or past it you should wait till your doctor says it’s okay to let baby sleep as long as he would like until then it’s important to feed him every 2-3 hours nothing longer

Answer

Both of our sons have been sleeping through the night since they were born (almost 2 & almost 4 months) we never woke them up to feed them. As long as they are back to birth weight you don’t need to wake them.

Answer

It says wake a newborn every 3 hours to breastfeed if they don't wake up themselves 😊

Answer

Unless your baby isn't gaining weight, let your baby sleep!
Sleeping is how the process everything they experience. The entire world is new to them after all, so it's a lot to take in! 
So sleep is very, very important 😊

Answer

I would wake him, if babies sleep long hours it’s because they’re too weak to wake up themselves, they need to eat every 2-3 hours especially only at a week old.

Answer

Let the baby sleep they wake up and eat unless your doctor said anything its normal
