When is it okay to stop waking a newborn to feed? Aubrie never had this issue, she always woke up on…

My doc told me after 2 weeks to start feeding on demand. He never slept more than 4-5 hours until he was 2 months so I never worried about him going too long without

@alyssa5792 exactly! My first I never had to worry and then when she started sleeping longer at night I just let her because I knew she would wake up. Oh well, something to ask my ped. Lol I know it's too early yet but maybe by the time they hit a certain age or weight..

When I left the hospital they said I only needed to wake to feed during the day but to let her sleep at night as long as she isn't going more than 5 hours

She has her first appt today so we'll hear everything the pediatrician has to say about feeding and her weight

My doctor said once they hit their birth weight just be careful with your milk supply

@aubrieandaliviasmommy, just my opinion but never wake a sleeping baby no matter what age. Get your rest mama. Only if it's like a extremely long amount of time 8hr or something crazy. Keep baby next to you so you know they are safe breathing and peaceful.

Once my son reached his birth weight I did not wake him for feedings- ( I asked his doctor first). He woke up when he was ready to eat. He also started sleeping about 5 hours straight on & off at night around 2 weeks old.

If your baby has reached or exceeded their birth weight then I say you shouldn't wake them. Get as much sleep as you can! Just keep them close to you ☺️

I never woke mine to feed
