Do you or do you not have to still feed a baby even through the night? Like why are some of y'all so hype for a 5 day…

my son slept through the night at a 11 days old and has basically every night since, his Pediatrician told me it was fine because he was having plenty of wet and poopy diapers and was gaining weight like he should be. I get up and check on him at night every night, but he's always fast asleep and snoring lol

yeah. once they get back to birth weight it's fine to let them sleep.

I agree with @ssdj4. My son is 2 months & he wake up when he's hungry. I don't wake him up to feed him.

my Dr and pediatrician stated that once baby made it back to birth weight it was fine to let them sleep. they will wake when hungry

letting them sleep has nothing to do with us wanting sleep. it has to do with them needing sleep too. do we enjoy when they sleep? hell yes but I'm not gonna force him to wake up and eat if he isn't hungry.

it's a shame. even our parents will tell us not to wake a sleeping baby to eat and things were different back when we were babies except for the fact that us sleeping through the night if our bodies allow us to as babies will not STARVE us. Some people think that just because they are parents they know everything. @talean89 My son is a preemie and was told by specialists and his pediatrician to not wake him. he is 14 months old weighing 16 lbs just cause he can't gain weight no matter how much he eats. we have calculated it and changed feeding schedules and mixes and nothing works. Don't assume that feeding them is what they need.

Which is why I said "Correct me if I'm wrong!" Thank you 😁@talean89 @ssdj4

agreed @ssdj4 , any good Dr will tell u not too wake them and that they will wake themselves but some ppl on this app think they went to medical school for 14 years😂😂

most babies make that before bedtime. they may need to sneak one more in and that's fine but like I said, their body knows when they need it and will wake themselves up to get that food. @heatherlg88

lol I agree!! @ssdj4 her doctor said if shes eating 8-12 times in 24 hours then she can sleep as long as she wants..as long as her dirty diaper count and wet diaper count is good then she's fine.

@heatherlg88, see but she's still waking up to eat... I'm mean like 6-8 or more hours at a time

your kid will wake up when they NEED to eat. doctors even say not to wake them up. it isn't starving them!

she pretty much wakes up on her own to eat..during the day she may take two naps, but she is wanting to eat every 1-2 hours during the day, so at night I feed her up every couple of hours until around midnight, then let her wake on her own. I guess im lucky because I don't have to wake her up to feed her, she wakes me up when she's ready. lol she's gained a pound in a half in two weeks so I think she's doing good🙌

Lil*

I woke up every 3 hours for the first 2 months I think after that lol man was sleeping 5-7 hours straight at night plus naps during the day

as long as they eat 8-12 times in a 24 hour period...mine goes to sleep at Midnight until 3-4, then sleeps until 7 or 8. so I get my rest after midnight for a few hours at a time.

Preach on !! Being a new mom or just a mother in general is tiring but loosing some sleep is a sacrifice you have to make to insure your child is going to be fed and well cared for. My daughter will sleep if I let her but I wake that ass up every 3 hours.

I see this a lot like that baby need to eat at least every 2-3 hrs...yea they might sleep but that's because they're newborns
