When did you let LO sleep through feedings?

At our 1 week appt, the pedi told us to make sure she fed every 3 hrs during the day and every 4 hrs over night. Do we still need to do this? Sometimes she wakes up to eat at 3.5 hrs, but other times I have to wake her. Last night I turned off my alarm and didn't wake her until 5 hrs. She was still perfectly sleepy and probably would've kept sleeping for a while longer if I hadn't woke her up. Is it ok to let her sleep now? I know she is gaining weight and she has enough wet/dirty diapers...WDYT?

Round 1: Femara + Ovidrel +TI = BFP! EDD 2/20/12
2IF does not always equal 3IF...Surprise!

Re: When did you let LO sleep through feedings?
We never woke her up. We knew she was a good eater and did not suffer from "failure to thrive". We are strong believers in the never wake a sleeping baby mantra.
However, I dr. also told us to wake her up and feed. So, you just have to decide what is best for you.
Back to birth weight is the general rule.
In the first couple of weeks DS would sometimes go to 4 hrs and still not be up and even though he was back to birth weight I would get nervous and wake him. When we saw the pedi at 2 wks he said that was no longer necessary.
