If baby sleep i will deffo let him sleep ! Unless its 26+ in the room but otherwise no i would not x

It’s definitely a blessing! Mashallah that she sleep through the night and i wouldn’t wake her if it’s not too hot, for my lil one wakes every 1-1.5 hours for his feed 😅

I was advised by my HV (during the heatwave should add) that once they have surpassed their birth weight you can let them sleep. As long as they’re gaining weight and eating plenty during the day then all good. My nine week old has been doing 4-5 hour stretches in the night for the last 2 weeks and gaining weight even when it was still v hot. Down to only one wake up which has been a nice change. Enjoy the longer sleep I say!

Mine sleeps throughout the whole night and I let her - she is all healthy alhamdulillah so I don’t see the need to be waking her up, I’m sure she would wake up if she was hungry.

As far as I was told, once birth weight hit let them sleep. My 8 week old did 7 hours in one sleep last night! I slept through but my husband woke up multiple times to check she was still breathing as couldn't believe she was going for so long! 🤣

I don't wake my baby at all haven't done since day 5 after she was born and back up to birth weight, she would sleep 10-4 and then 4.30-9 but since 10 days old sleep 9pm-8am every night.

i don’t wake my 8 week old for night time feeds anymore. We usually go to sleep around half 10/11 and do his last feed then and he sleeps through until about 3/4 and then again at 6/7
