Too much sleep?

[TheCornishPickle]

It’s not the norm and I know people will tell me just to enjoy it but is there any concern in an 11 week old baby sleeping long stretches at night? He’s done 8 hrs the past 2 nights. Whilst that’s obviously lovely from the rest point of view, I know that frequent waking is normal and safer for SIDS etc? He’s a good weight, healthy and EBF. I also believed that bf babies were meant to wake more frequently? He cluster feeds in the evening goes up to bed with me around 10-11pm and is waking between 6-7am.
What do people think?

Wow that sounds fantastic! My third did that occasionally at that age, she didn't continue but all three of mine are frequent wakers. If they are sleeping that long by themselves then celebrate it! It doesn't sound like anything to worry about to me.

Both of mine first slept through at about 6 weeks. My friend has had a baby recently and he was also about 6 weeks when he started to sleep through from about 11-6. Just good sleepers I guess. No sleep training done or anything. And they have been good sleepers since. Apart from bouts of teething and what not at a year old.

They were bottle fed though. I remember I used to Google it a lot when my DD was a newborn as she slept a LOT!

totally fine. Some babies do sleep well early on naturally themselves, even BF ones. The majority of the hard work of establishing supply is first 6-8 weeks and he’s still cluster feeding. My mum had a friend who’s baby was BF and slept 11-8 at 4 weeks of her accord. Enjoy it while you can!
