My baby (11 weeks old) had a feed at about 7.30pm last night and went into the sling at 8pm. We transferred him to his cot at 11pm and went to bed. The next thing we knew it was 8am and he had woken and I fed him. He was lively after his feed but then started yawning and went back to sleep at 9.15am. Is this ok?!
Unless he's underweight, there's no reason to wake him and feed him.
2 out of my 3 were sleepy babies and slept through from about 8pm to 8am and I remember one of them would go back to sleep for an hour after his morning feed.
That was brilliant because when DH was on nightshift, I could pop him back in his cot and go and do the school run.
Be grateful! I was told no longer than 5 hours between feeds (30 years ago) but that was for a newborn. Welcome to the wonderful world of baby sleeping through the night
Totally fine. If you check out another thread on here you will see that lots of babies sleep through at this age. He might not do it consistently though, so don't be disappointed if he wakes tonight!
My DD was sleeping 7am to 7pm from 12 weeks, unless you have any concerns about weight gain then it's fine, just enjoy it! My DS was completely different, he was still waking for a bottle during the night until he was about 1.
My first baby slept through the night from 10 weeks. I thought it was my excellent parenting and bedtime routine. Then came DC2 - same parenting and routine, still waking every night at 18 months. Count your blessings OP! Sounds like you got a good one 😆
