Sleeping 12hrs....

charmedgrl517

Has your LO slept longer than 12hrs straight!? DD ate at a little after 8pm and fell asleep by 9pm. She moves around every hour or few but hasn't actually woke up yet. I thought she was going to at 630am but she fell back asleep! Should she go this long sleeping and not eating!? I've never had her sleep longer than 9hrs straight! I was thinking about waking her at 9am?
Also has anyone refrigerated formula that LO didn't use when you went to make the bottle? It says you can for 24 hrs as long as they didn't drink from it but I never have done it before?
P.S. she barely naps during the day. Maybe 2 or 3 20 min cat naps. And eats every 2.5 to 3 hrs during the day and gets an average of about 25oz a day.

O is going on ten hours right now and I'm wondering the same thing!!

Ahh what to do!!!? I hate to wake her if she needs the sleep since she barely naps!!

Enjoy the extra sleep! DS NEVER slept longer than 5-6 hour stretches, but DD has been sleeping 10+ hours for the last week and I hope to hit 12 hours soon. They will wake up when they are hungry. I didn't FF, but I am pretty sure it is okay as long as the baby didn't start the bottle.

Consider yourself lucky and let her sleep!

Holy crap!

I'm praying that we have this problem soon! Our peds mentioned that as long as they are gaining weight that babies can sleep as long as they like. If your LO is gaining, consider this a blessing and cross your fingers that we get some of your luck!

Yes DS sleeps about 12-12.5 hours a night doc said its fine as long as they don't go more then 4 hours without eating during the day.

Wow, I really wish I had this problem!  We can barely get DD too sleep 3 hours at a time at night, 4 if we are really lucky.

I think your LO is fine. If she's getting 25 oz in a 24 hour period she's getting enough. Consider yourself lucky. Yeah, as long as she doesn't drink from the bottle I think reusing the formula is ok.

This sounds exactly like my LO who will be 3 months this week. I usually have her in bed by 7:15 every night and she wakes up around 6:30-7:00. She has her 3 cat naps of about 30minutes, sometimes she will have a good 3 hour nap although that's only happened twice.  She eats every 2-2.5 hours so I'm really not worried about her sleeping so long through the night.  I just feel blessed, I have a 21 month old as well and he's been sleeping through the night since he was 5 months. Consider yourself very lucky to have a baby who like to sleep. Mine love sleep!!

Its so funny that you ask about re refrigerating a warmed up bottle, we've done this a few times when we thought she would be waking up but she was just tossing a bit so we put it back. I wouldn't do it a second time though.
