My baby boy is 🙋🏽♀️! His doctor gave us the green light to let him start to wake to eat & he goes 4-5 hours between feeds. It was just recommended to not let him go past 5 hours , but he’d go longer if he could lol.
Our son has done 6-8 hours (usually 6) for one stretch every night since we brought him home. He’s 6 weeks as of yesterday. And he’s gaining weight fine. I think that’s the only concern. The pediatrician who checked on us in the hospital said he never tells parents to wake children unless they are having problems with weight gain. Our regular pediatrician has been fine with it the whole time too. He was born at 9lbs 14oz so is also just really big for his age.
My 5 week old regularly sleeps 5/6 hours for his long stretch at night. Dr said it was fine and to let him sleep.
As long as they're still gaining weight we'll, let em sleep. And congratulations on getting a good sleeper ❤️
My sweet girl has been here and there. definitely not consistent but it definitely has happened
