So I always see you ladies posting about how your lo's sleep for 5 or 6 hours straight , and idk but my ds has always slept through the night from 10 pm to about 8:30 am so is this like not normal ?? Should I call his doctor maybe ?? I just feel like I can't relate to the MOTN feedings and being sleep deprived I'm almost concerned something's wrong with my lo !

Re: Not normal ??!
how old is you lo? how big is he? if he's gaining weight and growing, i would just count your blessings! are you bf or ff? if you are bf and not having supply issues with going so long, even better for you!
13 weeks or 13lbs is an old general rule of thumb for when the average baby is capable of sttn - but that in no way applies to all babies.
Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
He'll be 2 months on the 14th and he weighs about 8 pounds, and I'm formula feeding I tried breast feeding the first 3 weeks but he wouldn't take it and even when given in a bottle he would spit it out , like literally wouldn't swallow it ! And he's been with the same sleep pattern since we brought him home 3 days after I had him ! I guess I am lucky and do need to count my blessings !! :
If you WORRY about this, I will slap you. ENJOY it and be grateful. Sleep deprivation is no joke. I was not prepared for what it would do to both DH and I.
You don't WANT to have to relate to MOTN feedings.
I could not imagine an 8lb 2 month old since DD was 8lbs 13oz at BIRTH. She also has slept through the night since birth. Started at about 5 hours then slept longer and longer. She now sleeps fro 10pm to about 7am. She wakes up starving but mama is happy b/c I get my sleep. There was a weight concern at 4 weeks because even though she was gaining weight she dropped from the 90th percentile to the 75th. But 2 weeks later she was still gaining and still in the 75th percentile so Dr said it was okay to let her sleep as long as she still gains at her 8 week check up and is having plenty of wet diapers. I keep an eye out for dehydration (especially sine the weather is getting warmer now).
Enjoy the sleep
Enjoy it and I agree. Don't speak about it!
I'm envious of myself from my first baby who slept 6+ hours at 3 weeks. I only wish this kid would do that on a consistent basis!
My LO sleeps 8:30p -5 am, eats fine during day, gets his ounces in then and gained 3+lbs since birth so not concerned. He gets a lot of awake time during the day as well so not like he sleeps all the time.
I was thinking the same thing!
