Ten week old EBF baby slept ten hours last night...is it allowed?

[carrierchc]

She normally goes to bed with last feed at half seven and wakes at two,a long stretch I know but she cluster feeds most of day and is gaining weight well.But last night she slept thru till six!Am worried this is too long for her to go without a feed?She is not unwell and is happy,alert and feeding well today.

My DD did the same at around this age. It only lasted a week or two and then she was back to waking at least twice a night, unfortunately. I'd say don't worry if she has plenty of wet and dirty nappies and appears alert and happy. Like yours, mine cluster fed a lot in the day so she was stocking up for night time.

mine did same - it didn't last long! enjoy it! take advantage, stock up on your own sleep ready for possible monster 3/4/6 month growth spurts!

I agree with the others my 6 month old slept through at about 9/10 weeks for a few weeks but then had a growth spurt and we were back to 2 hourly feeds!

Hoooray! She slept through the night! Yes - as someone else said - enjoy it and give yourself a pat on the back!

She'll be fine - dd was ebf and sometimes slept for 14 hours - occasionally waking for a feed at 6am and then back to sleep til 9.

I cluster fed from about 4.30 - 7ish.

Enjoy the sleep!

Go with it! My dd did this from 10 weeks and I was concerned so asked the HV. She advised me to wake her up for a feed at 11pm which I did for a while until I realised that this was utterly silly... let sleeping babes lie, I say and make the most of the sleep. One sensible thing my MIL said with regard to babies was: this phase too shall pass (and this applies to good and not-so-good phases). So true!
