Baby is EBF with good weight gain.

I started letting EBF my baby sleep as long as she wants overnight (usually 6-7 hours) at around 6/7 weeks when I was confident my supply was well established x

And obviously her weight was good at this point too!

Yes, as long as the baby is gaining weight

As long as good weight gain they can sleep for as long as they want I checked this as my little one slept 7-8 hours from 5 days but she's had such good weight gain midwife and health visitor said that's fine as long as weight is good if anything she put in weight quickly as my supply is high, it worried me but I've enjoyed the sleep!

Occasionally wakes for a feed but sleeps through

My LO sleeps from 12am ish until 7/8am he is hungry when he wakes but sleeps through.

If baby is hungry they’ll wake up, if not then they’re fine
