My son was a preemie and weighed 5 lbs and I had to wake him up to eat so he would gain weight. But now that he's gained so much weight and caught up I'll let him sleep and let him let me know when he's hungry and he's doing great. As long as she's healthy and at a reasonable weight you can let her sleep. 😊

@kedrababy, oh okay I’ll do my best

@kimberlymack70, they just told me to Atleast try but unless she’s like seriously underweight or something don’t stress- but do make an effort to feed her regularly

@kedrababy, I would wake her up and try to get to latch on but she be so tired and will use me as a pacifier until she goes back to sleep and then let go . but will cry later when she hungry

Usually they want u to wake newborns so they can gain weight but some babies r stubborn (like mine) I would try my hardest to wake her and she wouldn’t budge - but it was ok because her weight was fine

I feel the only people who say the 3 hour rule are the nurses at hospital I always fed my daughter on demand. She is a healthy little one.

@badadvicemom, okay great thanks

@kimberlymack70 if she gaining weight appropriately, having enough wet and dry diapers and developing normally, I'd let her sleep.

@badadvicemom, she will sleep exactly 3 hours before a she decide she wants to eat sometimes longer . Like 4. She was 5 lbs when she was born and she now almost 8 lbs

I would talk to ur daughters dr and make sure it would be safe. Especially if she lost too much weight at birth.

I didn’t wake my baby up Either i waited like what you’re saying yes its fine . & my baby is doing great with her weight she will wake up when hungry

How long will she go if you don't wake her? How has her weight gain been?
