My 5 week old is sleeping through the night 5-7 hours! Should I wake him for a feed

It doesn’t feel right then sleeping through so long this young. Should I wake him. He is breastfed. Last weighed a week ago and was above birth weight

Is baby back up to birth weight? If so I think it might be ok but check with midwife or health visitor to make sure if your worried xx

If baby is back to birth weight or above leave him sleep ☺️ especially if he continues to gain

Ours was also the same since birth pretty much.
He just naturally was a calm, well routined baby.

Think yourself lucky (as we was), and make the most of keeping that routine going.

As long as baby is on track for weight, then you are fine.

Will save you having to get baby into more of a routine later on, and you get more sleep! Yay lol

Just have a bottle ready/prepared for as soon as baby wakes up (or breastfeeding).

My LG is 6 weeks and we leave her to wake up herself in the night and have done since just before 5 weeks as she only dropped 1 feed but she has 6/7 4oz bottles a day xxx

If he is above birth weight sure it will be ok he will probably be having extra feeds in the day to make up for it? X

Above birth weight so let them sleep

Let him sleep

My baby slept 6 hours at night from 6 weeks and I never woke her and she’s fine, as long as up to birth weight let them sleep and enjoy some rest yourself! x

Advice Please 🙏 Cosatto Close to me Crib

Hey!!

I’m getting the Cosatto Close to Me Folding Bedside Crib for when my little girls here.

I was just wondering if anyone has this crib already, what did you do for waterproof mattress protectors and crib sheets?

The mattress size isn’t a normal size and I can’t find specific Cosatto ones anywhere, so not sure what to do 🫣

Thank you in advance Xx

Nursing tops?

Thinking of getting a couple of cheap nursing tops - I'm a FTM due in a couple of months.
Honestly I usually just wear leggings and jumpers so I'm wondering if I can just get away with wearing my usual and lifting my top of out of the way? But would nursing tops / jumpers be more practical?
Tempted to buy a couple but also things are getting so pricey now so I don't want to buy things unnecessarily?
