Hi everyone,

Just looking for some advice. My baby has just gone through the 4 month regression, woohoo! and is thankfully sleeping well at the moment. She is 5 months old. How long can I let her sleep before waking her to feed?

Thanks!

Let her sleep until she wakes asking for milk. I wouldn't wake her for feeds at this age

Indefinitely 🤣. My son was sleeping 11-12 hours solid at that point. My daughter who was exclusively breast fed might have woken once but might not have. No need to wake to feed in my opinion.

Unless you have weight gain issues and have been medically advised to do this..... let her sleep!

I never woke mine for a feed.

Let baby sleep

Unless she's chronically underweight there's no way I'd be waking a 5 month old for a feed! My eldest woke himself for one bottle at that age, my youngest dropped night feeds at 10 weeks old.

Let sleeping babies lie 😂
