Is this normal? š Sheās usually up at least once or twice during the night but last night she slept from about 12am - 7pm this morning! Sheās nice and alert and has just had a big feed - nappy wet. Am I just overthinking it. She didnāt nap as much/long yesterday so maybe itās that. She made up her birth weight almost straight away, in fact she only lost 2% of it in the first place. Sheās a good eater and sheās definitely growing! My rational brain knows this is probably ok but I just wanted reassurance š Has anyone else been in this situation? X

Yes it's really normal it does happen occasionally.
Definitely make the most of it because it won't last long lol š

both of mine slept all night from quite early on and still now my 3 year old will sleep 6pm-6:30am āŗļø

Mine is 5mo and she has been sleeping 12 hours uninterrupted since 12 weeks old, so long stretches can definitely happen! š
and donāt let other people tell you what your experience with sleeping will be, mine hasnāt had the sleep regression at nights that everyone talks about.
If sheās gaining weight well and your doctor hasnāt advised waking her for feeds, I personally wouldnāt disturb her. She may just be learning that she can go longer between feeds at night. Sometimes waking them can interrupt a skill theyāre starting to develop.
But of course, every baby is different, you know your baby best.

Mine did this last night I was panicking but then realised it is normal and heās healthy and alert and will let me know by screaming the house down if heās hungry etc. donāt panic because thatās what I was doing last week because heās always up once through the night for a bottle. Xx

I used to panic when ours started having longer stretches but it was totally fine- she very much led the way with what she was ready for, was doing 9-7 with one feed by 8 weeks and has continued to improve. Iād just go with their flow if theyāre well and happy in the day x

As long as the weight gain is on track there shouldnāt be a problem

Babies sometimes won't wake up for a feed if they're too warm even if they are hungry. Don't over think it if she's all alert and feeding and okay she was probably just good cozy!! I had the same issue with my little one she went 6 hours without a feed despite being hungry because she was too warm x

My little boy used to do it when he turned about 8 weeks, then another 4 hour stretch after that. Felt like a brand new woman! Enjoy it as much as you can, enjoy the rest mama!

Yes totally normal. My little girl has slept through from 4 weeks old š

Generally youāre meant to wake them up every 3 hours for a week - thatās what I was advised by the midwife. However, they will sleep if you let them - my daughter slept for 6 hours once.

You are lucky

My baby donāt sleep ontill 3 or 2:30 am like he will be awake from 11 to that time he just want to play , eat and look around and cry of when the food finish.

My LO has slept through from 4 weeks exactly! Sheās 4 months now and I pray it never changes š
Sheās gaining weight and is right on track for everything else so all good here š

My baby sleeps a whole 12 hrs sometimes after a good feed :) has done for past month sometimes earlier , and sheās 14 weeks old
