Is it ok to let a 5 week old sleep through the night?

How long should I let her sleep before waking her up to eat? Thanks!

Oh, I'd love for my LO to STTN. How many hours are we talking about?

If she's not having trouble with weight gain, enjoy it! My DD started sleeping through the night last week as well. I have personally woken her up a couple times when it had been 8 hours since I last fed her, because my breasts were going to explode! Consider yourself lucky.

I let mine. I just had to wrap a towel or blanket around my chest because my nipple pads and bra would be soaked. lol

I've let her go for about 5 hours but I usually wake her up.

Unless your pedi has concerns about weight- let her sleep! She'll wake when she needs to at that point. I would have paid good money to have a baby sleeping through the night then. Heck, I would have paid it out long after that point with my first, who was a horrid sleeper. You got lucky!
