Should i wake my baby?

Question

My son is due a feed but he has been awake for hours and literally just fell asleep there the now, he is 7 weeks and his weight is great, he guzzles down 5/6 oz per feed. So my question is should i wake him for his feed or let him sleep?

Answer

Id let him sleep! When he is hungry he will wake up and I'm sure let you know! I have a 7 week old too and I won't wake him to feed him because when I have he doesn't eat it anyways and falls back to sleep! Give yourself a little break :-)

Answer

Never wake a sleeping baby. After hey are at their birth weight there isn't a need. They'll let you know when they're hungry.

Answer

My baby was eating plenty and gaining weight quickly since day one. As a nervous first time mom I would wake her after 2-3 hours of sleeping for the first month or so... For our second child I will be doing it differently! If she is sleeping, let her sleep (unless she is underweight).

Answer

Do what you think is best. I change my babies diaper while he's sleeping and he wakes up hungry. So I feed him. You can feed on demand but my baby will sleep for 5-6 hrs if I let him. I breastfeed, and have to relieve myself every 2-3 hrs or I get engorged, I'm an overproducer.

Answer

It can hier to let him sleep, but maybe just for an hour. So that he can feed then..

Answer

Beyond the first couple days where I was told I had to wake him I let my LO sleep. He will wake when he's ready. He's slept through feedings and then woken up upset but he still wakes up eventually. (11 weeks old)
