my pediatrician said that some babies are really deep sleepers and that if they don't wake on their own you should. I wake my daughter up to eat she's always hungry when I do too. I'd say after 3-4 hrs wake her, just bc she is small and going that long can affect her weight

@taraduffy79 , she will sleep 6 hours straight if i let her. At the hospital the nurse said geed every 2-3 hours. With her being so little it kind of scares me to wait. she is 5 pounds 6 ounces

I always waited until baby cried. Sleep while the baby sleeps! Lol. Unless it happens so often baby is losing weight, or she's premature you should be just fine @lovemylittlefamily
