Sleeping/eating advice please!

Hello MNers!

My 18 week old ds has just started to sleep through the night hurrah! However when he sleeps from 7-7 it means he only has 4 feeds in 24 hours - should I add another feed in during the day now to ensure he gets 5?

All advice gratefully received!

Thanks

I wouldn't worry unless he seems hungry. As long as he's having plenty of wet nappies and growing well I really don't think it matters if he's having 4 or 5 feeds in a day. If he's managing to sleep for 12 hours I doubt that he's starving so wouldn't worry tbh. Am v of the 12 hours sleep tho'!

Thank you! Don't worry I have a feeling it won't last...last week he was up at least 4 times every night cos he had a cold. Oh the joys!

You can't beat a bit of sleep deprivation can you? DD slept 12 hours last night which was fab but we're away at the weekend so I'm sure that'll reset her bodyclock to waking at 5am. Ho hum! Hope you're enjoying your DS and the extra sleep when it occurs!
