11weeks here. He’s 10lbs doctors said it was fine
Once they were past birth weight which was day 5 for us, EBF. He woke naturally pretty regularly though but if we did a longer stretch I wouldn’t wake him x
Never woke to feed - he did this himself when he was hungry
once they’ve gone back to birth weight
As soon as they make their birth weight again! I didn't know this until a friend told me.. my LB was 8lbs 6oz when born and never dropped any weight! But we were still waking him for night feeds until my friend said it was fine to let him sleep on! They'll let you know whenever they're hungry!
As soon as she was just past her birthweight x

My LB was 10 weeks when we started letting him sleep through the night. I checked with my HV first and she advised us to let him sleep. He had started not waking for his 3am feed, we were having to wake him for it and he would barely drink any as was wanting to go back to sleep. The HV weighed him and was happy with his weight, he had put on quite a lot since birth and he’s slept through ever since without any issues x
