Is this normal? I'm EBF and DD the last 2 nights has fed at 10pm and hasn't woke for a feed! I woke up at 5am expecting it to be about 2-3am and she was still sleeping soundly. I woke her up to feed as my boobs were like rocks. Should I be leaving her at this stage or waking her up? She is gaining weight well but is still a bit jaundice.

This happened with my baby too. We were having to wake her every 2 hours to feed as she's a really good sleeper (even now at 4 months). The midwife told us that once she was over her birth weight that we didn't need to wake her any more.
I remember her sleeping one night for about 8 hours at 7 weeks and just lying looking at her and waiting for her to wake up 😬
I say let her sleep, my mum and all my aunties say never wake a sleeping baby.
Good luck :)

Thank you for your reply! DD is well over birthweight. Haha this was me at 5am this morning wondering if I should wake her whilst staring at her 😂 suppose I should enjoy it now incase it doesn't last!
