Is it ok that 5mo slept this long?

So after recently posting about DD waking hourly on the sleep boards, last night she slept for almost 6 hours. I'm now worried that she's OK! She is ebf and fed at 6.30pm, 9.15pm and midnight before sleeping until 6am. Is this enough feeds for a baby her age (20 weeks) and weight (12llb ish)?

Yes that's fine. Hope you slept too!

Never wake a sleeping baby! Enjoy the rest Smile

Oh I slept!! Was just a bit worried about her having enough to eat and it was a shock as she's been a terrible sleeper up until now.

That's great!

Ds is 19 weeks today and since about 10-12 weeks has slept roughly 8/9pm to 5/6am!

Thanks everyone for the reassurance.

Sounds brilliant! When my dd first slept through the night I had the same worries. However, when she did it the next night I wanted to throw her a parade! She's 5 now and sleeps in on a weekend until 8.30pm, despite a 7pm bedtime!

Ds1 did this and I actually woke him at 7am because I was worried. He didn't do it again until about 18months old. So stupid of me!
