Sleeping through the night

We were told by the HV that as soon as they meet birth weight you do not need to wake them. Once we did this she slept through the night!

You don’t need to wake them up as they can sleep longer at night now and have more feeds during the day. My baby has a dream feed around 1am and then sleeps throughout the night til around 8-9am then diaper change and breastfeed him then he sleep again til 12pm

Enjoy it whilst it lasts! We slept through from6 weeks till 16 weeks and now were back on 2 wakes a night at 7 months 😬😬

let your baby sleep - you don’t need to disturb them

they’ll wake you if they’re hungry

My baby had started sleeping through at 9 weeks and has done ever since, she’s now 16 months! I wouldn’t have dreamt of waking her up, I was so happy she slept through! Enjoy the sleep!!! And don’t worry about sleep regressions etc because it might not even affect your baby. I didn’t know they were a thing until I came on this app and kept seeing about it and I got myself so worked up and worried about it and kept living in anxiety waiting for them to hit and they never happened!! So I was getting worked up for no reason! I think she might have been affected a little by sleep regressions but it was only her naps that were affected and it would only last a few days, her night sleep has never been affected at all

Thank you everyone, this is so reassuring!! I think yesterday was a bad day for us as she was being quite fussy with her day feeds so I felt like I MUST wake her or she’ll be starving😂 then I was spiralling! But like you’ve all said, they’ll let us know!! Deffo developing her own personality and knows more of what she wants now 😅 thank you ☺️ x

My little girl slept through at 14 weeks and is still going strong at 15 months. Hopefully this will be the case for you!

Oh I had this exact same worry at 6 weeks, got told conflicting stuff and then thought stuff it I’ll let him sleep and for what he likes then go get him weighed after 2 weeks if he isn’t putting on as much weight I’ll change back to waking.

He was still putting on weight roughly an ounce per day and still tracking his percentile so now he sleeps, some days it’s 6 hours some days it’s 8. He is now 10 weeks and hitting all developmental milestones, is super alert in wake windows. I go off his hunger cues during the day but also never leave it more than 3 hours. Again he will tell me after an hour or he will go longer but I latch him on. So I think he must be tanking up on the calories during the day.

I was concerned he wouldn’t wake even if hungry but when people say they will wake when hungry… they are not wrong lol. Enjoy the sleep you’re doing amazing!!!

Lovely don't ruin your sleep! Shell wake up if she's hungry or needs more food.
As long as she's putting on weight follow her cues.
The only time I wake is if she's fussing in her sleep regularly, I'll do a quick dream feed and nappy change and settle her more deeply again. Other than that let her sleep if she's a night sleeper, take the win and rest up, you never know when phases disrupt sleep over their first two years so take it while you can x

Do not wake her hunny!!
