When can we stop waking baby up for a feed ?
My 3 week old son is way above his birth weight and we’re still setting alarms at night time.

We stopped waking him when he was just over 2 weeks. He now has one overnight feed but I do tend to set an alarm for 6 hours post his bedtime feed
We were advised we could stop setting our 3 hourly alarms at 2 weeks as he’d gained weight well. We do however have to still set alarms for every 4/4.5 hours but only because he was premature and had trouble maintaining his sugars. Not that he ever sleeps more than 30 minutes when put in his cot 😂
Once they're above birth weight no need to wake for feeds
