My son slept 6 hours!

I panicked when I woke up and ran to the nursery to see if he was breathing. OMG I guess he woke up three times and my husband gave him a paci and he went back to bed. I feel guilty that he may have been legit hungry and he was tricked into sleeping, but excited that he can make it 6 hours.

My DD woke up three times last night 1, 5 and 7:15. The 5 am feed she nursed for 6 minutes. Now I can pump 2-3 oz in six minutes so it's possible she ate that much (who knows), the paci trick doesn't work for her. Do I just keep feeding her and she'll eventually grow out of this feed on her own?

I can try shortening the feed, but it's already so short that I feel like I should just let her eat.

My kids would never take the paci if they were hungry so it sounds like he may be able to go the six hours for you!

Whenever one would wake up I always tried the paci first.  If that didn't work I would feed them.  I always had Emily wake up for feeds and Erica would sleep right through.  I don't have any advice because I always felt like I was guessing when it came to waking the other up to feed.  If the time was close to when Erica would typically wake up I would feed her along with Emily otherwise I would just wait for Erica to wake up on her own.  Some nights it worked out real well.  Other nights I was irritated because it felt like I was up all night feeding babies.  This phase did pass fairly quickly.  By 7 weeks my girls were both going 7 hours before waking up to eat.

I did the same thing the first night my twins slept for 6 hours straight. Even  though they were sleeping, I wasn't! I kept getting up to check on them too.
