Babies: 0 - 3 Months

My 4-week old slept for 5 and a half hours last night?

I'm a little concerned. Is this OK? I suppose it is if he's gaining weight?

  • Harrison did too! It was heaven! He then went back to bed for another 4.5 hours and then again for another 2.5 hours before getting up for the day.
  • I was told if she's gaining weight sleep is ok.

  • My dr said it was ok at night to let her sleep as long as she wants because she is growing. I wouldnt be concerned unless he was losing weight because he wasnt eating enough. Enjoy the sleep :)

  • My Dd started sleeping 5 hour stretches at 10 days old and still has gained weight like a little chunky monkey:) She started sleeping 10-12 hours straight 2 weeks ago! It's heaven! Be happy:)
  • My LO sleeps 5 hour stretches at night, but when she wakes to feed, it's for over an hour.  I'm enjoying while it lasts!

  • Same here! My DD is 3 weeks old and she slept for 5 hours straight for the 1st time at 2 weeks. She's definitely growing and, although it's sporadic, she still sleeps for 5-6 hour stretches at a time. I wouldn't complain so much if I weren't nursing. 6 hours is a little hard on the boobs Stick out tongue
  • DD sleeps 4-5 hours at night usually, I look forward to it all day!

    Ya, I still have to get up after 3 hours to pump.
