6 weeks night sleep

My 6 week old last fed at 10pm last night and is still asleep at 3.30am?! I just woke up myself and he is sparko 🙃
He is well above his birth weight but he normally wakes after 4 hours maximum during the night.
Should I wake him or leave it?

Our three week old has just done the same, we left her and she’s not long woken herself and had a feed
She fed lots during the day and was fighting sleep so I wasn’t too worried as put it down to both of those factors

Don’t wake him, when he’s hungry he’ll let you know! Xxx

He woke up at 4am in the end.
I'm so surprised, he's never slept that long before but he did cluster feed before he went down so I guess he was satisfied. Wolfed down a feed and is back asleep 😅 these babies have life sorted lol x

My 4 week old just did the same!
Had his bottle at 9pm last night, i heard him stirring at 3.30am and i must have dozed off - he was fasr asleep still at 4.30🥲
I lifted him to do his nappy etc and he took 3/4 of his bottle and is back to sleep again 😅

Im jealous ive had the opposite with my 4 week old tonight 🤣 shes been up hourly for feeds since 2 weeks (poor girl clearly doesn’t understand cluster feeding isnt 24/7 🤣) but i dont know what possessed her tonight to fight sleep from 11 till just now and hunger cue her way into 300ml in top ups and who knows how much from breast 🤣 oh to have my sleepy baby back hope you enjoyed your rest!

Do our babies all share the use of a its a hard life pose when sleeping occasionally? I had to laugh when i was waiting at a postnatal appointment and all our babies were looking like they had years of stress behind them

My 4 week old does last feed at 11pm up at 5am, down by 5:20 then up at 9:30 it’s bloody great 😂 she were over her birth weight at the 2 week appointment and a chunk ! Let them sleep always ! Sleep is equally beneficial than feeding xx
