My baby is 4 weeks old and I set alarms for her feeds, we feed at 11, 2, 5 and 8 day and night.
At what age do I stop waking her in the night for a feed?
Tonight she seemed really settled still and so sleepy at her 2am.. 🙈
Thanks!

I’ve not been waking mine at all but he has been pretty good at letting me know when he wants it and it’s quite regular! Tonight he has gone 9-2 without a feed and I just let him sleep! I’m no expert obviously haha but if they’re putting on weight and feeding fine etc I would defo say they’re ok to leave longer overnight especially x

Not helpful sorry but my daughter was suggested to feed on demand and let her wake me up, but the times she wakes up are the exact times you have alarms ! I think the general rule for waking them up is till they are after their birth weight?

i never did this with my babies, we just let them sleep and wake up when they were hungry

My baby girl is 6 weeks on Friday, we’ve never woke her for a bottle. She’ll let us know when she’s hungry ☺️

My baby boy is 6 weeks and i dont wake him, he starts fussing in the moses basket then i make his bottle. I just use pre made milk at night so it only takes a second to make. Hes never got upset and i always change his nappy before his feed x

I’ve never woken mine. They advise not to let them go longer than 6hours before they are at birth weight but other than that let them sleep if they want to sleep. You need sleep mama! No need for alarms

My baby is 4 weeks old and I don’t wake him, as was told to be lead by him as long as he is gaining weight and above birth weight (which he is) 🙂

I don’t wake my baby boy (just over 3 weeks old), he wakes me when he’s hungry – but he’s never screaming crying, I just wake up when he starts moving a bit more. It’s amazing how in tune you can be!

You can stop now. Once they gain their weight back you’re good. They’ll lead and have their own routine.

We follow babys lead. Never needed to set alarms she tells us when its feeding time.
And, i wouldn't stop feeding during the night anytime soon, its not doable. Waking for feeds is what your baby needs, especially in the newborn stages.
