Sleeping through the night
Sleeping through the night
I was just wondering if it is normal for a 7 week old to sleep for 10 hours straight? My lo doesn't sleep much in the day but by night she is just exhausted and sleeps for so long. Should I wake her for feeding. She nurses almost constantly throughout the day.

I had my kids sleeping through the night by then. They would be up all day n sleep all night which is what I wanted. Unless the baby is underweight n needs every feeding they can get I would let them sleep.

I was told to let them sleep. My daughter did that too at that age and when I talked to her doctor she thought I was crazy to wake her for feeding if she wasn't fussing. She ate a lot during the day and took a couple little naps if she got milk drunk. I'm sure if she's eating enough during the day id say let her sleep that way it gives you time to get some good sleep too.

I had a nurse tell me to wake my baby up every two to three hours to feed him. I NEVER woke my baby up to feed him, he slept for five hours his first week of life. He's 21 months, strong and healthy. Let your baby sleep, they'll wake up when they're hungry ☺

Yea if they are willing to sleep without a fuss don't mess that up! Lol you don't want them to get used to waking up all night if they don't need to
