    NEVER!! Sleep begets sleep. The more & better she sleeps now, the better it'll be later & so on.?

    She'll wake up when she's hungry, needs love, a change, etc. They sleep because they need it. Enjoy the downtime.?

    Another vote for let her sleep! At this age, they need the sleep, let her have it.

    always let him sleep as long as possible!  if we have to go somewhere thats one thing (and i hate to do it) but other than that i do nothing that might wake him up!  sometimes it gets little ridiculous the lengths i ll go to but it is so worth it.  (although i have been known to go make sure hes still breathing when he gets to sleeping that long, it makes me nervous something is wrgon!)

    I let him sleep.  I make a racket all day long (vacuum, put away pots and pans, etc) and he sleeps right through it!

    No way! If she's asleep I let her! Sometimes I worry that it is too much but I know newborns need a lot of sleep.

    I've been waking Jack to get his days and nights back in order. I also don't let him sleep longer than 3 hours. I've read that you will be in for middle-of-the-night cluster feedings if you let them sleep too long.

    Glad to know others are letting them sleep.
