Night sleeping!?

Question

My 5 week old slept 7 hours straight last night! Which was absolutely amazing for me, but is that too long? He ate quite a lot in the hours before bed and would barely nap during the day so I think that's why. But should I have woken him to eat? He's well above his birth weight.

Answer

By this time babies will wake up on their own if hungry.

Answer

For the past week our son has been sleeping 6 hours at night - it's been great and I did not wake him until he was ready. We are starting week 6 today and I heard this is a rough one. Hoping he will still sleep for a long stretch ...!

Answer

I've always heard as long as they are healthy/thriving to let them sleep. My 8 wk old is EBF, and she has slept up to 8 hours, but normally 6 to 7. I will give her an extra 2-3 oz of pumped milk about an hour before bed, which has seemed to help her sleep longer.
