I am not sure if this is the right place to post but did not know where to put this?
Basically my 6 week old is sleeping for what feels to me like too long at night & I just want to see if this could be normal for her? (Honestly not a stealth boast).
She is my third but first was awful sleeper - & second was what I think is normal, a few waking say night till 4 or 6 months.
Number 3 started doing 4 hourly stretches at night really early (was told to wake her at first) and then 5 hourly & in the last few days she sleeps 6 or 7 pm till 3 or 4 then wakes, not screaming just wakeful I feed her & then she wakes again about 6 or 7 - again not screaming.
Then last night she slept from 7 till 5 am & I am worried that this is too long & she is not well.
Today my boobs are painful, feel bruised and I think my supply is being affected
Is this just her ? Or should I wake her? Is this on the normal scale?
She is breastfed/or has expressed breast milk during the day then has one formula at bed time.
She feeds when she wants but that is pretty much 3 hourly, 7, 10, 1, 4 & 6/7 - which does not seem much for a breastfed baby?
Any similar reassuring tales?
Have tried HV three times but no answer!
