Do I wake her?

lab63007 · September 2009

Hi girls - quick question! My daughter has been asleep for the last almost 3 hours. She normally only sleeps for about an hour. She already slept for 2 hours this morning. Should I go wake her up or just let her sleep? She's been sleeping well at night 7 hour stints, so I don't want her to be messed up now. But she's just 6 weeks & I think it might be a growth spurt so I don't want to mess that up either...what would you do?

THANKS!

Well - I thought she was stirring...but now we're going on 4 hours...this is CRAZY!

Let her sleep...she'll wake when hungry.

As long as she is back to her birth weight, let her sleep.

Yep, let her sleep. That is, assuming she has been gaining weight appropriately until now. If she's slow to gain weight, you may want to wake her to eat. Typically, though, by 6 weeks your pedi would have let you know if you need to do something extra to feed her more frequently.
