Waking baby??

Starfish+77 · January 2013

So my LO had her 2 month shots today and has been very sleepy ever since. Her last bottle was at 7PM and she went right to sleep. My DH usually gives her the last bottle of the night (only bottle he gives all day) and then gets her to bed. Should we wake her if she's still sleeping at 11PM? She usually eats every 4 hours or so, she is fed on demand. Selfishly I know she'll probably wake up a little later and then he'll be asleep and Ill have to feed her. WWYD?

When we had our two month shots I tried to wake D when he had been sleeping for a long stretch. He latched and fed for maybe 3 minutes then went back to sleep. Are you offering BM or formula? That might play a part in my decision. I would hate to make several ounce of formula, the baby not eat and have to throw it out. Formula seems really expensive.

She is FF. I think DH is heading up to wake her to change her and see if she'll eat at all. I'm not too concerned about wasting the formula..oh well :-) I'm sure she will fall back to sleep soon after but something just feels wrong about waking her while sleeping.

This. When our DS had his shots he slept for long stretches as well. We just let him sleep because the poor thing was sore. I was in the same situation as you...LO fell asleep at about 7:30 and did not wake up until 12:30! I had only been sleeping for an hour and a half at that point...oh well...
