12 week old no feed through night
I'm so grateful to have a good sleeper and enjoying it while it lasts 😂 but my 12 week old has started to go 8-9 hours without a feed in the night and I feel like this is a long time?! I don't want to disturb him if he's sleeping but just wondering if he's OK to be left this long. Last night his last feed was 8.45pm and then he's just woken up for a bottle now at 5.45am
Last time I had him weighed 2 weeks ago he'd put on weight but dropped slightly below the 25th centile but the midwife told me it wasn't really a concern.

As long as he’s over birth weight and he’s not loosing to much weight I wouldn’t worry too much maybe try up his feed before his bed time see if this helps? X
I’m in a similar position with my 16 weeks old. She also dropped slightly from like the 12th centile to 9th centile but HV said not a concern, and don’t need to wake baby to feed, HV said if baby is hungry, they will wake up. HV said it’s normal for baby’s weight to fluctuate, it’s ok as long as they don’t drop more than 2 centile. HV told me to go back and weigh again after 4 weeks just to be sure. Maybe you can weigh again in 2 weeks and see what happens ?
