That's a really good chunk of sleep.

As long as he's bright and alert at times and meeting his milestones, I really wouldn't worry Wink

He's absolutely fine in every other way and later on the bottles are fine it's just the morning ones

I’ll second that, if he’s happy and content don’t worry. I have a nearly 4month whose feedings all over the place. Sometimes I just can’t understand how he feeds so little and can be satisfied. He can sleep a good 8hrs wake up and drink 2oz and be happy. Sometimes he completely drops a bottle in the evening. He miraculously puts on weight each week. Babies are really good at regulating themselves although there are some that just love their milk lol

How much does he weigh? How much do you feed him in each bottle or is he exclusively breastfed? So jealous of the long sleep I'm still going a 11pm dream feed for my 4 month old just under 7kg
