Opinions please?! My 5 week old slept nearly 6hrs straight last night...should I feel grateful or guilty?! It seems ridiculous to set an alarm! Thoughts please?

DD is now 10 weeks old and has occasionally done this, once I woke at one thinking why isn't she awake, so sat up waiting for her, took till 2am! It's happened once or twice since, and it's a nice surprise. Unless you have concerns about their weight, I wouldn't worry. Good luck.

Is he breastfed? So long as he is gaining weight and feeding 8+ times the rest of the day, I would let him sleep at night.

She is breastfed, yes. She feeds really well through the day and is thriving in the weight department!
