How much did/is your 3.5/4 month old sleeping ?

Hi, my dd is 3 and a half months old and for the last month she’s been sleeping throughout the night .
seeing other people saying their babies are 6/7 months and still wake up in the night and have never slept though . Is this normal for a 3.5 month old ? Is it okay ? She takes around 5-7ounces every 4/5 hours so about 4/5 bottles a day. She gets a bed time bottle at around 10/1030 and wakes again at 7am ish. I didn’t think she’d be sleeping through so soon!

Yep, some babies do 🙂 my daughter started from around 8 weeks old sleeping through and has been a pretty reliable sleeper since (shes 22 months now!).

I’m definitely NOT complaining by the way. 🤣 health visitor obviously said it’s fine because she’s gaining weight but a nurse the other day in the hospital told me she should be getting no more than 5oz every 4 hours and no more than 4 hours cause she’s sleeping through the night ! But if I try and feed her less than 4 hours she won’t take it , or if I take the bottle out of her mouth at 5 she’ll scream for more . Never know what to do !

Some babies do but that doesn’t guarantee it will last. As long as baby is gaining weight nicely it’s fine but that isn’t many bottles.

She takes a lot tho , the most she’ll take is 200ml ! She averages around 700 ml or more a day and that’s normal apparently. She’s gaining weight

Can I add she was 3 weeks early and 4lb10oz at birth and is now up to 11lb3oz as of today :) so I think it’s okay but just want to be sure

My youngest woke hourly for the first 11 months of her life. It was hell.
