should i wake him?

magic867 · January 2010

my LO is sleeping right now and he will most likely sleep until 9 or 10 (his long sleep) then will wake up every 3 hours to feed. i would love to get him to be able to have a feeding at 8 or 9 and have him sleep his 5 hrs then...should i wake him now or in a bit to feed him and hope he will sleep well there after?

I would, doesn't hurt to try to get a few extra hours during the night!

I would. We had to help our LO arrange her sleep because she was doing the same thing.

I would never wake a sleeping baby. We don't do a routine with our son and he started STTN yesterday, 11pm-6am. We don't believe in trying to schedule babies.

The only thing that ever backfired on us was when we let her sleep for four hours one evening because we were enjoying our time together. She was up eating like it was daytime all nght (complete with wanting to stay awake after eating!!) oh, and DD started STTN at four weeks (5 hrs a night). Now at six weeks she's doing 6-8 hrs each night.
