My little boy is 11 weeks and this last week has on average done 7/8 hours overnight. He feeds non stop before bed (ebf) and wakes up hangry. Midwife always said if he wakes up hangry it’s fine!

My wee one is 11 weeks and sleeps through 6-7 hours and has plenty of wet nappies . She has 4oz before bed and 4-5oz when she wakes. I'm combi feeding, so sometimes she just nurses back to sleep on the boob after 7 hrs of sleep, and she's okay. Not to worry mama x

silly question, but when they start sleeping for those long stretches do you wake them up to change them still or leave them to sleep if they’re not waking up for a feed?

@Beth not silly at all. I don't wake her, I make sure she goes to bed with a clean nappy and change her immediately when she wakes. There's been a couple mornings her nappies were soaked through onto her sleepsuit but not her sleeping bag. Assumed she'd weed alot those nights. I also make sure to put vaseline on her bum when I change her for bed to avoid her getting nappy rash overnight . Seems to be okay so far.

Thank you! That’s really helpful x

My boy is 11 weeks and sleeps from between 9pm - 10pm until 6.30am - 7.30am and I give him an extra 1oz of milk when he wakens in the morning! As long as he is putting on the weight and plenty wet nappies, he will be fine!

My lil girl sleeps average 11 hours a night, she's 12 weeks, she had 5 oz before bed then wen she wakes in morning I give her 6/7oz and 5 oz during day, she always has a wet nappy wen wakes up in morning, I use a app thats called huckleberry, its amazing helps with feeding, naps, nappy changes and her sleep at night, I always show hv and she's always happy
