Should I let my baby sleep?

Question

She is 1 week old today and at her dr appointment on Monday she was already almost back to birth weight just 2 oz short. Should I wake her up every 2-3 hours or is it fine if I just wait for her to tell me she’s hungry? I am exhausted and I need sleep but I’ll feel bad about not waking her to eat...

Answer

I let my daughter sleep and eat when she wanted to. She has slept 12 hours a night since 2 weeks old.

Answer

Depends dont let her sleep too much tho- i wake mines up if its time before i head to bed so i can get a couple hours in lol

Answer

I stopped waking mine up on 5th day. I felt bad and he woke up on his own every 3-4hrs so I fiiiinally got my sleep. It’s only recommended to wake them up every two hours if there was issues when they were born. Mine had jaundice so I had to. 
He’s 3 wks now sleeps 3-4hrs sometimes 5 an eats 2.5-3oz 😀 get your sleep 😴
