    The only time I wake my LO when he is sleeping is if I have to put him in the carseat for a dr appt. Otherwise, I let him sleep.

    I wish my LO would sleep for that long during the day. I can't get anything done. He takes little 30 minute naps during the day, but he sleeps great at night, so I really can't complain.

    As long as your baby is back up to birth weight, there is absolutely no reason to wake them up!  Enjoy the quiet!!

    She must be your first baby! My son, intentionally or unintentionally, wakes up my daughter all the time:D  I wouldn't wake her up if I can help it, but I sometimes have to take her along to my son's school, etc...so she wakes up when I buckle her in her car seat.  Tough to be the 2nd baby.

    I would not wake her. As long as she is eating enough/gaining enough weight I would just let her sleep. Does she sleep this long normally?

    This is our situation too and was thinking the same "must be the first!"...  Always leave a sleeping baby sleep and if you do need to wake them, never do it when they're in REM sleep otherwise you're in for a SCREAMfest for the next hour or so!

    I was told to wake her when she had not gotten back up to birth weight and I was breastfeeding.  Once her weight gain had been established the doctor said I could just let her sleep as long as she wanted to.  So, it depends on her weight gain and if you are still establishing your supply.

    I'd say never wake her unless she's having problems distinguishing her nights & days... However, we keep DD on a strict every 3 hours eating schedule during the day, but let her sleep till she wakes to eat at night.  Even when it means waking her during the day. But i plan on asking the pediatrician about this. This was recommended to us early on & we've been doing it since the beginning (altho she has had no weight problems).  DD pretty much understands night vs. day I think.
