Sleeping through feeds

I'm not breastfeeding, so I'm not sure. But I say sleep is more important. Does he wake up during the day to eat? Babies know when they are hungry and they'll scream for it. Maybe talk to your pedetrician?

After my baby passed birth weight, doctor told us no need to wake her for feeds anymore. Sleep is important for their growth and development too, and usually baby will make up for it in other ways, such as cluster feedings before bed or in the mornings (or both like mine does 😂). They also will be awake a lot more during the day. Definitely talk to your pediatrician and see what they think, but if your baby has gotten past their original birth weight, is gaining weight well, and has good diaper output they’ll probably tell you to go ahead and let the baby sleep. At least that was my experience

Yeah I had to start waking her up to eat. Sometimes now she’ll get up herself but I set alarms just in case she over sleeps

yes he eats every 1-2 hrs during the day but my lactation consult told me to never let him go past that 3 hrs mark without eating, I’ll talk to his Dr on Monday

he’s not past birth weight yet but almost there! He was 7 10 at birth and dropped down to 7 1 but now he’s back at 7 8
We go get re weighed again on Monday!

And he pees constantly probably 8-10 wet diapers a day but he does have some pooping problems. I was told by lactation consult he needs to have 3 poopy diapers every 24 hrs but he will go a day or 2 without really pooping and then on day 3 he’ll have anywhere from 2-5 poopy diapers.

I usually do set alarms but I fell asleep last night before I could! Just happen to wake up and check the time and realized it had been 6 hrs since he ate and he was still sound asleep

I just had this happened last night with my girl too, she’s 12 days old. She fed at like 8pm and I woke at like 1:30 to check on her since she hadn’t woke and barely fed then kept sleeping until 4:30 and then she fed some more before going back to sleep. We’re EBF too, definitely threw me off with the “schedule” we’ve been but I know in a week or so it all change as there’s a big growth spurt and she would be cluster feeding, then it comes the leap and other stuff… I won’t make a “schedule” for her until about 3 months, learned that with my first.

My baby sleeps 4-5 hours if I let him go. My boobs hurt a bit but I have an oversupply, I think. He’s up to his birth weight and hungry and feeds well, so if your baby is doing that and past birth weight then I say let them sleep 🤷🏼‍♀️

When waking him up my little one it helps me to change her diaper and use a cool wipe, this seems to do the trick to wake her if she’s really slumbering
