Corinna • Mrs. T

On occasion my son (22weeks/ 5mo+) will sleep for 12 hrs!!! 7:30pm-730 am.....😐... today?? He is still sleeping going on 12 hrs 30 min.

Does this happen to anybody else??

Babies are growing while sleeping.

Let him sleep??

Update: 1hr 40 min after original post

13 hrs 13 min!!!!! Wow!!

That's the longest so far.

And now hes eating the best ever.

Staying latched on uninterrupted until I am completely emptied

Let him sleep. As long as he eats a lot when he wakes up you're fine.

😊Sounds good. And I've got plenty of food for him. I've had to pump 3 times and unless he wakes up in the next half hour or so I'm going have to have to pump again

My babe was sleeping 10- 12 hours straight at 2.5 months! I asked the Dr. She said don't wake her! Let her sleep. She had a good weight so no need to wake her to feed.

Yeah. Personally, I usually don't let her go longer than 11 cause I get nervous too haha

Ooooh. Ok. Ya, Now than I remember and think about it my boy has always been trying to sleep through the night. Doctor put me on a schedule to wake up and feed him every 2 hrs because he was losing more weight. Hes always been a good sleeper and has plenty of fat store, but this 12 he stuff gets me nervous.

Does he wake up to eat? Or sleeps all the way thru?

Definitely let him sleep. My daughter starting around a month sleeps around 6-7 hours nightly. On the rare occasion we’ve had the 10 hour night. Get your sleep girl!
