To not be concerned for DD?

[Christinedonna]

My DD is almost 4 months old and has always been a fantastic sleeper, she's slept through without a feed since she was about a week old. Up until a few weeks ago she was having her last bottle at 8:30-9pm and waking up for her first the next morning at about 8:30-9am. Now she's having her last bottle at about 6-6:30pm and not having her first one the next morning until 10-11am. She's a perfectly happy& healthy baby and I'm soooo grateful for the sleep and that she's so laid back but others have questioned us. My dad is convinced this is not okay and it's not healthy to "let her" go that long without milk. I've never woken her up for a feed, I've always fed on demand (I know, shoot me). What do you think? Should I just be grateful and make the most of the quiet time or should I be concerned that she's going too long?

footinmouth I expect it, although it always does shock me a little bit how some can be so negative. I was told my baby is fine, be happy for me, ignore it, say nothing..anything but put a downer on it🙄
Definitely! i think she's smarter than world domination though, her first words will be the secret to why men are divs

the answer to that is the crux of world domination!

Beware of having baby number 2 though that may be your Waterloo

I couldn't handle a real baby. The thought of me being in charge of anything other than a laid back, happy DD oh no. I hope no one ever asks me to babysit a real one, I wouldn't know what to do!

I want one!!! 😂

Awesome. Well done DD! Onwards and upwards for you Christine

Glad all ok! I do think you should get the buggy off ex though, it is no use in the boot. Shove it behind the sofa, or even in the bath as my friend did who lives in a small flat!

Yes get out there and mix although a word of caution don't mention your dds sleeping habits at any mums and toys group! Just don't

I posted exactly the same thing a year ago OP. Got told the same by the doctor as you did - if she's alert when awake and hitting milestones then don't worry.

DD has dropped her daytime naps now sod but regularly sleeps from 6pm until 9am! So has stayed very lazy.

Eats everything in sight and is a proper madam in other ways, but I do feel so lucky I got a sleepy head

My DD was the same. Slept 20 hours out of 24 for first 6 months. Never did a night feed. She never cried for a feed. Or cried at all really... was always asleep.

I was worried sick! Clearly something was wrong?! HV assured me all was ok. We only hear about crying babies. She did advise me not to mention how much she slept to other mother's though!

Hello
Pleased hv is happy with her. Sounds like a happy chilled out baby!

I really think you need to get out more though. To some baby groups where you can meet other mums. Pls look into some other slings, once you find the right one they are a lifesaver. Also could you look into a cheap foldable buggy on ebay

• I put both of mine into a buggy at 4months.

A 30 minute walk every day would do you both the world of good.

That's awesome. :)!
