My 7 weeks old daughter was sleeping through the night for the last couple of weeks. If she had a bottle around 8pm, one of us would wait with her till midnight, feed her and then she would happily sleep until 7am
But last night we fed her at 8pm and just went to bed around 10pm and I thought she will wake up soon anyway. She didn’t. I woke her up at 2:30 (after 6.5h). I feel like she would sleep muuuch longer than that, because she wasn’t interested in getting up.
What is the longest time I should let her sleep?
Sometimes she isn’t awake but wriggling and opening her mouth but then back to sleep for 30 mins and same again.
So then I’m awake because I think she will wake up soon.
Most of the time I just wake her up because I think that she’s hungry.
(The 24h amount of milk is good)

Enjoy the sleep! My boy is 7 weeks tomorrow and we stopped waking him up at 3 weeks. As long as your baby is above birth weight and gaining weight each week, let her sleep. My boy has slept 6-7 hours stretches, but there are nights he wakes up every three hours and wants to eat.
Also, very normal for babies to go through active sleep, where they make noises and move, but are actually sleeping. So don't worry about it.

Honestly enjoy your sleep , my little one is 9 1/2 weeks , bang on 8 weeks he started sleeping through wakes up about 4am for a bottle then will sleep until about 6 or 7, bedtime is normally 9pm

She could sleep up to 12 hours overnight with no need to feed. If she’s healthy and no medical/weight concern then let her go. You don’t need to wake. Just make sure she’s getting her calories in the day feeding every 2-3 hours. But at night this doesn’t apply. While rare, it is possible to have a ‘unicorn’ baby that just sleeps. It could change but hopefully it lasts for you. She will wake if she’s hungry or needs you.

@Jess we have this exact same routine. Little girl is 9 1/2 weeks also xx

Thank you all a lot! It’s so difficult to make all those decisions on our own with no previous experience with babies and no babies around. I’m keeping my daughter alive only because of this app 😂❤️
Sometimes I just need some reassurance.
Thank you!

My little one is 6 and a half weeks and sleeps through the night. One of my friends said I should wake him up but never have! Enjoy the sleep!
