    I'm in the school of never wake a sleeping baby.

    I recently asked the same question and these are the answers I got: 

    He'll wake up if he's hungry or wet.  

    Let him sleep.

    I'm not a mommy yet but I'd have to agree with pp's.  I think you should let a sleeping baby sleep, he obviously needs it right now.

    No way.

    And seriously, how do you guys get these incredible sleepers?

    K has NEVER slept for more than 2 hours.  And those two hour naps?  I can count those on one hand.

    He really only naps once a day, in the morning, and it is usually about 3 hours. Then he naps for like 20 min. in the afternoon, if I am lucky.

    I will let him sleep, after all, the dr. said he could afford to miss a feeding or two.

    I didn't let W sleep that long when she was that little, but that was only because she was low weight gainer and she needed to nurse to help my supply. Otherwise, I would've let her sleep as long as she wanted.

    Let him sleep.  I used to let DS sleep like that all the time.

    well I guess I got my answer, he just started to vigorously try to nurse on the bunny on his swing while half asleep. I got him up. That was pretty funny to watch though.

    I have read on the boards, that once a baby has reached his/her birth weight, is gaining weight & producing an adequate number of wet/soiled diapers... you no longer have to wake them up for feedings.  Supposedly, newborn babies can be "content to starve" & will sometimes sleep too long.

    *not a nurse or doc, just what I've gleaned from the boards.
