Sleeping 6 hours at night okay? 3 wk old

Question

Is sleeping 6 hours at night okay for a 3 week old? He is finally over birth weight.... 
He sleeps from about 930pm-330am so far. Then he feeds for about an hour on both sides and sleeps again until from about 5-7am. Usually he’s on the boob almost all day after that lol

Answer

I’m So jealous !!!! My 3 week old is waling up every 2 1/2 hours

Answer

The only thing I would caution is this could upset your milk supply. But as long as you feed on demand then your baby will start waking again if your supply dips. Otherwise enjoy!

Answer

My baby sleeps from 10:30-7:30! Doctor said she was gaining weight fine and to feel lucky!

Answer

Lucky!! The longest stretch ny baby has slept is 4 hours! And not every night!!

Answer

Lucky 😂😅 my almost 5 week old is usually doesn’t even give me 3 hours at night

Answer

My pediatrician says once they’re back up to birth weight, let them sleep!

Answer

As long as your baby is eating before and after, and pooping and peeing well there really isn't any problems. Some doctors/people might advice differently and say you need to feed them every 3 hours but I just had my second baby a month ago and both my babies did longer stretches than that and I would never wake them up to feed. My second has the same pattern she sleeps for long stretches at night but feeds a lot during the day. Congratulations on both your new baby and your allowed sleep☺️

Answer

Yes let them sleep at night! Anything after 10pm let them sleep and wake you for a feeding.

Answer

My gosh I don’t know but your baby is giving you one heck of a break

Answer

Totally fine. My baby has been sleeping 6 to 7 hrs since and has gained 2 whole pounds since her 2 week checks ups. She only feeds 15 to 20 minutes during the night before falling asleep.
