Do you wake them?

How long do you let you Lo go 'over' for feeding?

Lo normally wants feeding every 4 hourrs almost on the dot, easy, but recently shes taken to morning naps of about 6 hours! she normally gets fed 5-6am when Oh gets up. But recently after that feed shes been sleeping for 5-6 hours after that feed.

Would you wake them say on the 4 hour n feed them, or just let sleeping babies lie?

*still waiting for her to wake up!*

We used to wake Chloe after 5 hours if she missed a feed...midwife advised us not to let her go any longer.

I still dont let Ed go more than 4hrs between feeds

M/W advised me not to let Theo go for over 5 hours. He doesn't go over 4 without a feed now as he's so greedy, but at night I leave him to sleep and let him wake when he wants xx
