Stop waking to feed?

I wouldn’t wake her if she’s above her birth weight x
Once they're beyond birth weight and not jaundiced (not all, but a lot get this) you can allow them to sleep as long as they'd like essentially. Enjoy the sleep while you can mumma.
My ebf girl started sleeping through the night at a similar age, she would cluster feed in the evening before bed and was above birth weight with no weight/feeding concerns so I left her to it and enjoyed the sleep whilst I could! (She stopped sleeping through at 4 months). Engorgement used to wake me up at 5am so I would pump for comfort and my supply wasn’t affected when I started doing night feeds again.
Once they’re above birth weight, you’re good to let them sleep! You’ll probably find you’ll have peaks and troughs of sleeping through so I’d take the sleep wherever you can x
100% enjoy that rest mama
hmm, if she's gaining weight and having plenty of wet/dirty diapers, I think it's okay to let her sleep, but maybe check with your doc just to be sure! here's what the 'Heal App' says.... "It's great to hear that your baby is gaining weight well and has plenty of wet and dirty nappies! At 7 weeks old, many babies can start to sleep longer stretches at night, especially if they are feeding well during the day. If she is satisfied after her daytime feeds and is not showing signs of hunger at night, it's generally okay to let her sleep for longer periods, even up to 7 or 8 hours, as long as she is healthy and gaining weight appropriately. However, it's important to ensure she continues to get enough nutrition during the day. If you feel comfortable, you can allow her to sleep, but keep an eye on her feeding patterns and growth. If you have any concerns about her weight gain or feeding habits, it might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional.
Man consider this so wonderful for y’all! As long as weight is good, enjoy that sleep! Mines up every 2 hours at night lol
I was told that once they get back to birth weight and are gaining well that you can leave them, she's probably getting enough through the day she's not hungry at night. Let yourself enjoy some longer stretches of sleep!!
