How long do you leave your babies for..

Jay_x · Mar 17th, 2010, 20:59 PM

without a feed? My little girl last had her feed at 6pm & hasn't woke for one since.. it's now 1am.. should I be worried? She's stirring a little but then goes off into a sleep again.. she hasn't slept alot today so maybe she's just making up for it? Just a little worried she's gone too long without a feed.. ?

My oldest started sleeping through the night, meaning atleast 8hrs up to 12, at 4-6wks old. I never woke any of them for a feed, I just let them eat when they wanted

When Helen was brand new she went 6-7 hours between feeds, I worried at first and woke her for a feed; she refused to have anything to do with it!! Sadly it didn't last and she didn't start going for long periods again til about 8 weeks when she started going 9-4.

Unless your baby is very small or has mediCal problems I would just let them sleep and enjoy the rest!

yep, shes old enough now that i would just let her sleep, she'll wake when shes hungry.

He started this at 4 weeks himself so we have just left him to it tbh, they will let you know if they are hungry!!

Lucy was about 6 weeks when she started going from 7m until about 3 and it only took another 2 weeks until she stopped feeding in the night completely!!! She now goes from 7-7 waking up once for her dummy!!!!!!!!

My philosophy never wake a sleeping baby they know when there hungry well at least mine does. Carters last feed is 8pm and he sleeps till 8am without waking and has been this way since 2 months old i never wake him to eat.
