Are you asking when you can stop waking up for feeds ?

@Carrie yes x

@Carrie I know people say over the birthweight but they normally wake you up. My. Newborn slept overnight for nearly 8 hours. Is this okay?

Most pediatricians say when baby is on a solid track of gaining weight and have passed their birth weight. For my babies it was normally around 2-3 weeks old when I stopped waking them up. They would wake me if they wanted food. How old is your newborn ? If your baby slept fine and didn’t wake up in discomfort or distress I would say it’s fine and you don’t need to worry.

@Carrie 4 weeks x

As soon as they can do it. No need to wake a sleeping baby. If you’re breastfeeding, just pump in the middle of the night as well to keep up supply. You can dream feed too
