Baby over due her feed!

6 week old baby had a terrible night! I'm feeding her every 3 hours as told by midwife and hv, premature baby but weight is absolutely fine! Fed her at half past 2 and she would not settle at all! Tried everything! Gave her her next feed at just gone half past 5 and she would still not settle after! She finally settled and fell asleep at around half past 7, was drifting off so I set my alarm for her next feed but didn't set it correctly (wrong date) and have only just woken up now! But she's fast on, do I wake her for her feed as shes about an hour over due or can I leave her a little longer as she's finally getting some sleep! First baby so no clue if that's ok!

I would let her sleep and feed her when she next wakes

My mum (7 kids) always said never wake a sleeping baby. My prem boy was supposed to be fed every 3 hrs too but if he slept, so did I. Never woke him. So id be inclined to let baby sleep.

Let her sleep. She'll wake up when she's hungry.

Ahh thankyou so much for your quick replys! I'll let her sleep, I think she needs it after this morning!
