8 feedings a day, let baby sleep 5-6 hours at night?

Question

As long as baby is getting at least 8 feedings in a day, is it okay to let him sleep 5-6 hours at night? He’s a month old.

Answer

I wouldn't go more than four hours. It could hurt your milk supply.

Answer

yes baby can sleep you just need to make sure you are pumping every 3 or 4 hours if your breast feeding

Answer

My daughter was like that a great sleeper. She was premature so 1st month I needed to wake her up every 2-3 hours because she had weight gain issues but after she got to her weight Her doctor told me to just let her sleep and wait till she wakes up to nurse her. So no worries 😉 he will be ok unless told differently from his doctor for any weight issues or other problems.

Answer

Our daughter was sleeping 10-12 hours straight every night by 5 weeks old. I've never once woken her to eat.

Answer

It’s best to get cleared from your dr. But Generally if baby is feeding well, nappy output is good, and weight is being gained it’s not usually an issue
