in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

So Eli's bottle was at 8:30 last night meaning he should have probably eaten again at 12:30 if hes well hes on 5oz...well he fell asleep around 11isand i did too shortly after this thinking he would wake me... cue now 6 am i wake up to find a dh is late for work cause he slept in and that eli hasnt been up all night!!!  its been 9.5 hours between feedings!!!!  well i moved him to his room took out the dogs made his bottle and go in to change him so he wakes to eats and there lays an awake happy smiling baby!!!  this kid is amazing me today!! 

i guess my question is...would you have gotten him up to eat too? i feel so bad that he went that long but he doesnt seem to mind!

    Our DD did 9 hrs the other night out of nowhere too, it felt so great to get sleep! If LO is back to birth weight and gaining fine then don't wake him! Enjoy your sleep and hopefully LO will do it again for you!

    no...if he's healthy, let him be and you go back to bed!

    i woke up to a lot of grunting and moving on the monitor. i went in to see what was going on and his feet were out of his velcro swaddler, but his arms were still nice and swaddled. he was allll the way down at the other end of the crib with his little fit dangling off the edge. this baby is strong!! btw, he slept 8.5 hours and was all smiles while changing his diaper! he didnt even seem hungry until he saw the boob.

    learn to take your cues from the baby.

    if he is healthy, peeing and pooping enough, gaining weight- let him tell you when he is hungry.

    Just know- you aren't the one calling the shots anymore. follow his lead and watch for patterns. he obviously needed his sleep.

    My DD slept 9.5 hours last night also. We were amazed! We're just going to appreciate it while it lasts. She woke up, was changed, had a bottle, played with mommy for a little bit and now, she's back asleep in her bouncy seat. The life of a baby!
