Longest without feed

Whats the longest your babies have gone without feeding? My daughter hasn’t had a bottle in 7 hours now. Ive woken her up a few times but she just screams and refuses the bottle. Any advice?

How long has she been like that ,did it only happen today ?

Yeah just today shes just extremely tired shes still her usual self when awake but just the bottle shes unhappy with

Is she breast fed or bottle only, I would call NHS service to ask but mine once did it as well then woke up the other day fine and it was 6.5 hrs

@Varnotte shes bottle fed only and yeah shes done 6 hours once and shes still sleeping now. Dreading tonight 🤣🫣

Hahah mine is 4hrs gone now also dreading tonight lol we are in trouble 🤣🤣🤣

My baby girl is 6 weeks and longest she's gone without a bottle is about 6 and a half hours but for the past week she has been cluster feeding a lot through the day so not needing as much on a nightime and is sleeping longer stints through the night. As long as your baby is feeding plenty throughout the day and is having plenty of wet nappies I wouldn't worry too much. Although I was advised by my health visitor to try not leave it much longer than 6 hours. Baby will always let you know when they're hungry although if you are worried then I would get in touch with doctor or NHS for extra advice Xx

Similar to others my LO has been feeding more in the day and then up to 5.5hrs for a bottle at night - I feed on demand so figure as long as he’s got wet nappies and no other worrying symptoms I just carry on!
