I know I shouldn't complain...

... but my ds has slept from midnight to 7/8am the last 3 nights. And I've had to wake him as my boobs have been screaming! Just a bit worried that he's going so long without a feed - he usually feeds about 11pm. And he's asleep again now...

Meant to say - he's only 8 wks old.

If he's gaining weight well, then just enjoy the sleep

Could you express a bit when you wake up so that you don't have to wake him if he is peaceful?

Agree wih flamebat. Make the most of it. DD (now 3.5) was a terrible sleeper - didn't sleep through till she was 2 - even now is not great. DS (5 weeks) can sleep for hours! At first I was waking him every 3/4 hours and worying that wasn't enough, now I just let him sleep - he's gaining weight and seems altogether healthy - plenty of wet/dirty nappies. I have also expressed milk to take the pressure off a bit.
