LO is 5 wks 4 days. Last night we used a swaddleme blanket on het for the first time and she slept for 5 hours which is the longest she has ever slept. We are not sure if it was b/c she was just tired b/c we had a hard time putting her to sleep last night especially.
But DH wanted to wake her to feed her b/c he didnt like the idea of her going so long w/out eating, I disagreed. Does anyone wake their LO to eat in the MOTN or just let them sleep and wake up on their own?

Totally agree with the PPs- don't wake her! My pedi also said that once she regained her birth weight to just let her sleep. Babies will sleep through a lot of sensations, but hunger isn't one of them.
My LO just started sleeping 5 hours stretches consistently (yay!), but now I have to figure out how to adjust my pumping schedule to accommodate.
This exactly! Baby will wake up when hungry!
