Wake baby up? Or let her sleep?

Question

She will be 7 weeks old tomorrow!
Gaining lots of weight but she’s also wanting to sleep ~7 hours at a time which means she would go ~8 hours without a feeding. Do I let her sleep or wake her up to feed?
Ped said at our 1 mo check up our “new goal” was to try and get her to sleep 5 hours. Little did he know we have a pro sleeper on our hands! 
What would you do?

Answer

Let her sleep if she’s gaining weight. Mine is 5 weeks old tomorrow and she is up every hour 😩

Answer

Let the baby sleep!! They will wake when hungry.

Answer

As long as baby is gaining, don’t wake her up! You’re only supposed to wake up the first maybe few weeks (if that), until baby gets back to birth weight.

Answer

You're so lucky! Let baby sleep! Mine was up every 2 hours. Still is but at least now she has one 5-7 hour stretch at night yay.

Answer

Let her sleep! My youngest started sleeping 10-13 hours straight at 4 weeks.

Answer

My 7 month old is the same! From 6 weeks on he slept like 6 hours at a time but had 4oz every time he ate. 2 when he woke up and then 2 more when he was tired. Now he’s on 6-8oz per feed and sleeps 8-9 hours wakes up eats and goes back to sleep for 3-4 more hours. Plus he has 2 2.5-3 hour naps a day. Take it as a win because not all babies sleep like ours!

Answer

We were told to let our daughter sleep. She would wake if she was hungry. So long as baby is gaining weight appropriately. From 3 months to 8 months she mostly sleeps through the night. If we have a busy day and mess up her naps and she skips her 8 PM bottle, she usually wakes up around 6 am and makes up for it. Then shes back out until about 8 am. It's pretty rare, but it happens occasionally.

Answer

Let that baby sleep. And be thankful 😂

Answer

Let her sleep!!

Answer

Sleeeeeep! Once birth weight is regained you dont have to wake baby up to eat anymore. And that generally happens by two weeks lol. Take advantage of that long stretch of sleep you get!!
