10 week old sleeps through

[lightbulbbug]

Hello
Just wanting some advise really about how much sleep my nearly 10 week old is doing, this is my first child so I'm new to all this! I know a lot of people will probably wonder why I'm moaning they would dream there child would sleep through the night, I have been setting my alarm 5 hours after her feed before bed and Even then I still have to wake her, but should I still be waking her for feeds at this age? She is gaining weight fine and she feeds 4-5 hours through the day and can have between 3-5oz. Right from being born she woke about every 4 hours at what age do you stop setting your alarm for a night feed?! This morning my alarm didn't go off so she slept for a good 7 hours but I still woke her then. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has such a laid back baby like mine and what they did or do. Thanks

Gaining weight, wet nappies, happy and healthy? I'd let sleeping babies lie.

Agree with @MrsTerryPratchett, as long as gaining weight etc then don't wake.

Don’t wake her up! But it may be a phase that doesn’t last, so catch up on sleep while you can.

Yes gaining weight wet nappies very happy. Even after her first feed through night she will go straight back to sleep for another 3-4 hours I was worried she was sleeping too much. But maybe it is a phase she is going through and I will make the most of it now, I got told by doctors in the hospital to not let her go past 5 hours that was 2 weeks ago, but health Visitors say otherwise so I didn't know what to do!
Thanks

I would let a normal weight, term baby sleep. But why did Drs tell you to not go past five hours two weeks ago? Is she ok?

My DS slept through from 7 weeks and before that would only wake for one feed through night, the health visitor wasn't concerned and told me to just let him sleep. So as long as baby is happy and healthy I would leave her to sleep

My third slept from about 9/10pm til 6am from around 6 weeks. I breastfed and she fed probably every couple of hours throughout the day.
Enjoy your sleep!

Let her sleep! She will know to wake if she is hungry. My lg is 11 weeks, last feed at 7pm then sleeps until 4am for a small feed then straight back to sleep for a couple of hours (has done this since 5/6 weeks). Last few nights she has slept through until 6am with no night feed. Enjoy it whilst it lasts! I am well aware this will end soon with the dreaded 4 month sleep regression!

My son slept through from 10 weeks (out the window now we are in the 4 month regression 😩😭) and I was worried too.

As long as baby is eating, nappies are fine, they are well in themselves, no illness, weight gain is fine etc etc then let them sleep and do not worry.

I am really, really regretting all those hours I spent awake worrying about him sleeping now! 🙈

I wouldn't wake them. Enjoy it! Mine slept through from 8 weeks until the 4 month sleep regression kicked in, and then it went completely the other way and he was up every 45 minutes for months!Everything is a phase, so be guided by them and what they need, they'll let you know if they're hungry. As long as they're gaining weight and happy then no need to worry.

Lovely thank you guys, the reason I was told to wake her from docs was because they thought she had reflux and told me to feed less than what I was doing but more often. She was in hospital for a whole other reason high temp but I asked a doctor for help and didn't like her answer 2 weeks of waking her for a feed was hard for me she fell asleep when trying to feed her or even wind her but now I know it's ok to leave her to sleep through while it lasts thank you guys

All 3 of mine slept through from around that age and have done ever since except when unwell. They are now all primary school age and happy and healthy. Let her sleep

Agree with PP.
With ds1 I was waking him every 4 hours as advised. When he was 5 weeks I had to stay in hospital for a few nights. Dp let him sleep and he slept for 7 hours. I didn't go back to waking him after that.

Ds2 started sleeping 9-10 hour nights from about 12 weeks old.

I figured if they were hungry they would wake for a feed so there wasnt a need to wake them.

Both kids are happy, healthy and are still great sleepers.

Seriously, if weight/wet nappies are all as they should be, I don’t see the problem. If your baby is sleeping rather than wanting to feed, I assume they are more tired than they are hungry, so let them sleep! Obviously if you notice a reduction in wet nappies or if weight gain drops off, then go back to waking them.

Both my boys were the same. One from eight weeks and the other from ten. Never changed either. Amazing. 😂👍

I let her sleep through last night without having to wake her, and I was a lot happier feeding her when she asked for it because she didn't fall sleep through her feed and she was happy I didn't wake her the only problem I do have is getting her weighed, who weighs them if places are closed my doctor said something about walk in clinics but with Covid they're closed, I'm sure if I ring my health visitor they will sort something
