How many hours does your breastfed baby sleep at night before waking up for a feed?

Question

Does your breastfed baby sleep long stretches at night? Because mine doesn’t. He is 7 weeks old and will wake up every 1.5-2 hours to feed. The longest stretch he had was almost 4 hours and that happened once only. Is it normal for him to not sleep long?

Answer

4 weeks old. Usually goes 3-4 hours between feedings

Answer

1 to 2 hours almost always, but tonight he did a stretch of almost 3 hours! I feel so rested lol

Answer

My 6 week old does one long stretch usually about 6 hours and then wakes up about every 2 hours after that. He barely started doing this recently.

Answer

My bub is 6wks and will do 3-3.5hrs at first then up every 2hrs. I'm waiting for the 5 hr stretches!

Answer

2.5-3 hrs for us

Answer

My daughter now at 8 weeks goes 5-6 hours the first stretch then wakes after 3 hours. Once my milk came in around day 4-5 she did 4 hour stretches and just started this new thing about a week ago. All babies are so different though.

Answer

My 8 week old goes 4 hours the first stretch then 2-3 for the next 2 feedings. Since he hit 8 weeks, he’s nursed every 2 hours all day & night, maybe due to growth spurt.

Answer

Depends on when I can get her to sleep! Average bedtime is 8pm... she usually doesn’t one long stretch until 1amish. Then it’s every 2-3 hours until up for the day at like 6/7am with my son. 
She does cluster feed after 430/5pm until bed. She’s pretty fussy recently. We were up until 10 pm last night and she slept until 3am 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6.5 weeks old

Answer

My daughter is 6 weeks old & she usually sleeps 3-4 hours at a time. Although she did have a few 5-6 hour stretches the past two days. 
Out of my three kids, she sleeps the best!

Answer

Mine does a 4 hour stretch, then he is up every one to two hours after.
