2 WO not interested in night bottles and will sleep through

[milliebotley]

We have got into a great routine of feeding every 3 hours, and my boy will wake throughout the day pretty much bang on the 3 hours. I've noticed he is not interested in night feeds and would rather sleep through it.
Should I be concerned??

Why would you be concerned?

I've been told to feed him every 3 hours, I'm a first time Mum so really not sure if this is okay to go from 930pm until 630am without taking any milk

Unless you have specifically been told to wake him during the night for feeds, for example if he is not gaining or losing weight, I say leave him to sleep. If he is taking all his bottles regularly during the day and is gaining weight fine, then he clearly is happy to go for a longer stretch at night without a feed. My daughter slept through pretty early on, now she's 9 months and has decided that she loves waking up to have a chat during the night 😂
Enjoy the nice long sleep 😊

Thank you, think I will make the most of the sleeo he is allowing me to get for now!

If hes 2 weeks old im pretty sure you should wake him up to feed him at night even if he doesnt want to

My DS was the same. I woke him for night feeds. He is too small to go without fluids at that age.

@aya123 I remember the HV telling me that and us diligently doing it then thinking 'what the fuck are we doing' after about three nights. Unless the baby is underweight or has other reasons to need woken, I'd leave them be.

Yes but my niece was okay then she started sleeping through the night in a week or so her weight dropped to 1.9 kgs i guess better be safe than sorry

At 2 weeks I think you should be waking him. Some new babies are very sleepy and need feeding more than they need so much sleep.
