Feeds

Personally, I would. I know every mom does things differently. But I like to be able to feed my baby every 2-3 hours. Even when they are asleep, I’ll wake them up to make sure they get their feed

I would give a bottle now and then I would leave her until she wakes again. My son was sleeping through at that age and that’s fine as he was above his birth weight and gaining weight fine. We would give a dream feed at around 10-11pm though

After my baby had regained their birth weight we didn’t wake them for feeds. Our son was a bit of a chubby and big baby though (99% percentile) so we weren’t really anxious about his weight :)

She has now woke up for a bottle she is well over her birth wait and on the 80th percentile she’s also on the chubby side 😂

I wouldn't let her sleep without a bottle for longer than around 4 hours hun

You don’t need to wake a sleeping baby up, your baby will wake up once she is hungry dear.

Do what you feel is best🩷my little girl is 90th percentile never dropped after birth weight, after a few weeks I just let her sleep and stopped waking her for a bottle, she would wake me up when she wanted a bottle she’s now 4 months and sleeps from 9/10pm till 7am, she just got herself into this routine, she loves her sleep😂🙈

I usually woke up my baby to eat even if people told me not to lol I would usually just rub the bottle by her mouth to see if she caught it and if not then I’d leave her alone to sleep more 🎀

The whole dont wake a sleeping baby thing isn't correct. I have twins and the drs and nurses all told me to wake them every 3 hours for feeds then when they got to a certain weight it was every 4 hours, then on demand once they hit another weight

I try to feed on demand , now at 6 months we are dealing with sleep regression where she wakes up after every 2 hours . Enjoy your sleep gal 😂

you only have to wake them if they aren’t maintaining their weight and by 7 weeks, it’s likely they aren’t dropping much if anything. my daughter was sleeping through the night from 9 weeks, as she was maintaining a steady weight and not dropping we were told just to leave her, if she’s hungry she will wake up

F. I m in a similar situation my baby is also 7weeks, breastfeeding ,and regularly goes 4+ hrs without feeding sometimes 5hrs , he’s gaining ok.
Its interesting to see both responses. I guess the whole don’t let them go beyond 2-3hrs w/o feeding is before they regain birth weight after that i suppose it’s really upto the baby or you. At least that what I make from all the comments

I feed on demand I did with my first born and she turned out fine shes 2 now my second born is doing well too after they get to there birth weight I think its fine to just feed them as they want but I usually say 4hrs is the max time without a feed
