Slept through the night

Following as I’m curious too with my 4 week old!

My doctor said wake my daughter if it’s longer than 5 or 6 hours because their blood sugar can drop too low. I’d feed her then pump.

Even with her sleeping through the night for newborns they sleep every 2-3 possibly 4 hours because we have to change them and feed them— they aren’t equipped yet to sleep through the night til 6m+

I’ve been letting her lead and wake up if she wakes me up, I wasn’t expecting her to sleep so long so I woke up like omg she didn’t wake up to eat

I do the same with mine but I still follow the schedule so that my baby doesn’t soil her dippers. My baby is 1m so she sleeps 4hours and I change her every 4hrs

My ped had said once they got to their birth weight and exceeded ut, it was ok to let them sleep through the night

thank you! That’s what I was thinking too

Help how do I help mine sleep through the night? 😅😂

I read something that said a lot of contact napping during the day helps baby sleep better at night. I had my baby wrapped to my chest for like 3 hours yesterday and then she was in my lap feeding the rest of the day so I wonder if all that contact helped? We’re also cosleeping so she sleeps longer stretches because of that. She only lasts an hour or two in her bassinet

My doctor just told me today to wake up my baby every 2-3 hours to feed as they need to feed. I was confused as my midwife said it was fine and that baby knows when he’s hungry. Very confusing

I was told doctors are very “by the book” and pretty much have to tell you that. If your baby is gaining weight you can go based off their hunger cues. I’ve been going by “never wake a sleeping baby” babies will always wake up when they’re hungry

Cosleeping saved my sleep woth my first. Im nervous to co sleep before baby can roll/nervous to cosleep with newborn so wevare waiting. Looking forward to Cosleeping to get more sleep and not have to get out of bed to nurse. My first we didn't co sleep till like 6 months or something but I want to co sleep sooner with this one now that we are more educated on co sleeping and how to do it safely.

If you’re trying to keep your milk supply you need to pump every couple hours in the night so your supply doesn’t go away. But no you don’t need to wake her. You can always keep it in the freezer.

it’s definitely nerve wracking sleeping with a newborn but I’m such a light sleeper/ don’t roll around so I feel comfortable doing it. My husband on the other hand can’t sleep at all with her in the bed because every little movement or noise wakes him up and he can’t get back to sleep
