How long are you mommies leaving baby to sleep?

Question

My baby is 1 month old and I find that she likes to sleep 3 to 4 hours and she does wake for feedings or diaper change. Ever since her doctors appt she has been gaining weight and is very healthy. Any mommies going through the same thing?

Answer

I’ll say that I don’t let her sleep 2-3 hours like i voted, that’s just how long she sleeps before she wakes up to nurse. If she slept 3-4 hours at a time, I’d be celebrating!!

Answer

At night I let her sleep as long as she wants, which usually is 4-5 hours for the first stretch of the night and then 2-3 the rest of the night. During the day I try to not let her sleep more then 2-3 so that she’ll sleep better at night

Answer

around 3 hours during the day max, if she goes over i just change her nappy which tends to wake her up wanting a feed. however she normally only sleeps for 1/2 hours at a time now during the day 🤷🏻‍♀️ but over night i let her sleep as long as she wants, shes started to go from 1am around though to 7/8am 😍 just means i have to pump first thing in the morning 😂

Answer

I wouldn't let her go longer than 4 hours during the day because at that point she's missing feedings and will likely try to make up for them at night, but at night let her sleep as long as she wants. I've found waking my baby every 3 hours during the day to feed has resulted in her sleeping much better at night. At first we had to wake her every 3 hours because she lost too much weight and when the pediatrician said she had gained it back and then some that we didn't need to wake her anymore I stopped waking her for 2 days and let her feed on demand and those 2 nights were awful. She was up every hour wanting food and was super fussy cuz she'd sleep longer stretches during the day and miss feedings. So we're back to waking her and it's better for our family. You'll learn what works best for yours too!

Answer

First 2 weeks I’d wake her 2-3hrs but after her 2 week appointment when I was told that she’s gaining weight I let her sleep 3-4

Answer

I sleep as long as she wants! As long as she’s gaining weight!

Answer

As long as she’s asleep, I’m letting her sleep, unless I know she needs a diaper change. It’s the closest to a break I can get. She doesn’t sleep more than 3 hours though

Answer

My baby is 5 weeks and is starting to stay awake longer in the days and is sleeping 6 hours through the night.

Answer

During the night it's on demand during the day shes 2-3 hours. I don't necessarily wake her but will if it's been awhile to keep her on a day/night schedule

Answer

As long as she wants. The longest she's done so far is 4 hrs. (2w 1d)
