3 week old sleeps through the night if I let her...I breastfeed exclusively and dr said I need to wake her up every 4 hours to eat during the night. Anyone else have a baby that slept through the night this young?
How many hours does she sleep? My son has always been a good sleeper and slept 7-8 hours straight as a newborn. I just let him. I also have a toddler and I’m tired. He gradually started sleeping longer, like 9-10 hours at night. I don’t wake him up.
@emily.elsholz, sounds like my son. If she eats well during the day and is gaining weight then I’d just let her sleep. Maybe don’t let her go past 7 hours until she’s older.
@2sweetie, yes she is literally on the boob all day and growing fast! Thank you 😊
@emily.elsholz, ok then don’t worry, she probably needs the sleep. My son was nursing about every hour during the day because he likes to sleep while eating and eat while sleeping 😆 so at night he’d crash out and I figured he really needed it
Yes mine did. And her pediatrician said I could let her go 6 hours at night as long as she was getting plenty of feeds and wet nappies during the day. Like she said I need my sleep, too. She only had me waking her for the first 6 weeks and after that it was ok to let her sleep.
Ok...it’s so hard for me to wake up when she’s sleeping so peacefully! Lol
I never woke my son to eat. I woke up tho to pump and had milk ready or just breastfed when he woke
I forgot to add that my supply has not been affected. I still make a lot of milk, too much actually.
