I am slightly concerned about DS he is number 4 DC. He is 12 weeks old, and for the last 4 nights has slept through from 8pm until 7am when I have lifted him into bed to feed him. He stays asleep until 9.30am. At this point I can managed to to get him to take a small feed.
He then wakes slowly (takes his time!!!). He will then be awake till about 12ish when he will take what I consider to be his first proper feed (long) feed. He will then sleep until about 2pm. After this he is awake till bedtime and will snack every 2 hours and only take a long feed before he goes to bed after his bath. He is not a big baby and has always slept will. I am just concerned that he is getting enough milk. When he is awake he is very alert laughing and gurgling.
Its just I have never had this, the other 3 always wanted feed through the night. Also when he was about 6 weeks the HV told me his weight gain in one week had been rubbish and I needed to wake him more at night. Although I have tried to put this to back of my mind it still niggles me. I did have re-weighed last week and he was 11lb 13oz and is following the just below the 25th centile.
He is EBF and when i do try to feed him when he doesn't want he just refuses. Turns his head, closes his mouth and gets distressed. Even this morning when I tried to get him to take more at 7am he wouldn't just locked his mouth shut and went back to sleep!!!.
