2 week old sleeping through the night

[Carriesdad]

My DD is 17 days old and last night she slept from midnight until 6am. While I am eternally grateful for her thoughtfulness at giving us a night off as it were, after about 3 hours I was getting up every 30-45 mins to check she was still breathing/alive etc. Am I being para, or should I rejoice that she slept so long and next time just go with it?

Thanks everyone for the useful info!

Enjoy it. My dd slept from 6pm to her dream feed then through until 7am from 5 weeks adjusted age. She was 6 weeks premature and tiny but she grew like crazy and is now a massive 114cm at age 4.

Mine both did this as newborns. I didn't wake the big, healthy one and he was fine. I did wake the tiny prem one and she's fine too. Both of them became bad sleepers after the 4 month sleep regression.

Yep same I was told to wake my DS up every 3-4 hours and I think it's once you pass 8 weeks and they've gained their birth weight back that you don't need to wake them.
DS is currently coming up to 5 months.

Don't let all the talk of sleep regressions panic you. Mine never had any. Slept through from very early on and over 2 years later has stayed that way!
