Baby slept from 8pm to 8am with no feed!

[newmum234]

My baby (11 weeks old) had a feed at about 7.30pm last night and went into the sling at 8pm. We transferred him to his cot at 11pm and went to bed. The next thing we knew it was 8am and he had woken and I fed him. He was lively after his feed but then started yawning and went back to sleep at 9.15am. Is this ok?!

Anyone? Should I have woken him for a feed at 11 when we went to bed?

Unless he's underweight, there's no reason to wake him and feed him.

2 out of my 3 were sleepy babies and slept through from about 8pm to 8am and I remember one of them would go back to sleep for an hour after his morning feed.

That was brilliant because when DH was on nightshift, I could pop him back in his cot and go and do the school run.

It's fine.

Unless you have concerns with his weight then nope. Enjoy the extra sleep.

Be grateful! I was told no longer than 5 hours between feeds (30 years ago) but that was for a newborn.
Welcome to the wonderful world of baby sleeping through the night

It's fine! DC1 was sleeping 7 to 7 at 11 weeks, and still had all her naps

My LO did this between 2-4 months. Then first sleep regression hit and he hasn’t slept though since - he is now 8 months. Enjoy while you can!

Totally fine. If you check out another thread on here you will see that lots of babies sleep through at this age. He might not do it consistently though, so don't be disappointed if he wakes tonight!

All I can say is that, as we're going through a sleep regression at the moment, im very envious

Don't complain!! And don't get excited in case it never happens again :o

My DD was sleeping 7am to 7pm from 12 weeks, unless you have any concerns about weight gain then it's fine, just enjoy it! My DS was completely different, he was still waking for a bottle during the night until he was about 1.

I meant 7pm to 7am of course.....not 7am to 7pm!

Thanks for the reassurance. I’m not expecting it to happen again anytime soon!

2 of my dc slept 7-7 from a few weeks old..
And many buggars didn't!!

My first baby slept through the night from 10 weeks. I thought it was my excellent parenting and bedtime routine. Then came DC2 - same parenting and routine, still waking every night at 18 months.
Count your blessings OP! Sounds like you got a good one 😆
