Never wake a sleeping baby?

Question

I’ve read some comments and people say never wake a sleeping baby?
What’s the rule for my 7wk LO?
How long is too long?

Answer

I was told to feed on demand by my pediatrician as long as baby is gaining weight not losing to not wake her for feeding she will let me know when she is hungry

Answer

After the first few weeks of you wake them to feed it will train them to wake up throughout the night. So once they are heavier than their birth weight just let them sleep!

Answer

We never woke our babe up. She was over her birth weight at week 1 check up and Dr said let her sleep. She told us when she was ready and just enjoyed those extra hours when we got them.

Answer

I've never once woken my daughter even as a newborn in the hospital. By 5 weeks, she was sleeping 12 hours straight through the night without issues 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

You're supposed to wake them up to eat until they get back to their birth weight or above. But personally i wouldnt let him/her go over 4 hours without eating.

Answer

Iv always woke mine when they where smaller I was told not to let them go 4 hours without a feed till there good few weeks old

Answer

If they’ve slept for hours and not fed you need to wake them to feed else their blood sugar might go dangerously low.
When I was 6 weeks I started sleeping through the night and there was one morning when I was still asleep at 9am after being put down at 11pm. My mum rang her midwife and the midwife told her to wake me up to feed me.
Last decent nights sleep I had I reckon! 😂
