5 weeks old and sleep?!

Question

FTM of a 5 week old baby girl, and she has been sleeping really well. Last night she slept for 8 hours before waking up to eat... should I let her sleep like that again or wake her to eat? My MIL said to never let her go more than 4 hours without eating but my mom said never wake a sleeping baby! So I need advice lol thanks in advance!

Answer

I let my 7 week old seep until when she wakes up on her own to eat. I believe if they're gaining weight just fine then it's okay.

Answer

Holy cow! How did you get her to sleep that long?! My baby girl will be six weeks tomorrow and only sleep 2-2&1/2 hours during the night.

Answer

Our pediatrician said that we can let baby sleep at night just as long as we make up the feeding during the day. My baby doesn't sleep more than 4 hours though😅

Answer

My baby girl will be 6 weeks tomorrow and has slept through the night twice this week. I️ always make sure she gets her 24 ounces of formula but I never wake her during the night

Answer
