Hi just wanting a bit of advice i realise ppl are going to think i'm mad even worrying about this so please no comments etc but

i have a 13week old lg she usually takes her last bottle around 10:30-11pm and then sleeps brilliantly until i wake her at around 7:30am! sometimes she might stir around 6:30 but goes back to sleep

i have never actually left her to wake herself as i panic!

would you leave her to sleep or wake her like i do?

I wouldn't wake my 13 week LB but he doesn't sleep through, so carry on as you are it's obviously working.

Let her sleep, sleep, sleep!

Lucky thing!

Is she gaining weight at a reasonable rate? Is she bright and alert at times in the day? If the answers are yes, I'd let her sleep Smile

yeah she's going weight brilliant she's just over 15lbs at 13weeks she'll have 6oz bottle when i wake her then she'll have another good sleep until about 11:30 then she's usually awake, bright and just cat napping right through until bedtime at 11 again

My 9 week old LO does exactly the same. Last 6oz bottle (he is a very hungry little boy!) between 10:30 and 11:30 and this him until 6-6:30, another 6oz bottle and he goes back down to 11:30ish when I have to wake him up. He has been doing this for a few weeks now. My health visitor said as long as he is gaining well and getting enough during the day that I shouldn't wake him as he is obviously needing the sleep. Like your LO, mines only catnaps during the day.

I'm always just glad he isn't up every few hours at night.
