So...since LO has started STTN, he's doing it hardcore - 10-11 hours a night. But it's 10:30 and he still isn't awake! We put him to bed at 10 last night, so it's been over 12 hours. I know not to wake a sleeping baby, but...at what point do you say enough is enough? Is this really okay?
Re: How Long Would You Wait to Wake Baby?
This. I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself from going in and making sure he's breathing, but I assume you've already done that, too. As long as he is, let him sleep!

I wake the baby if we need to be somewhere and I need to start getting them ready, but otherwise, I just let them sleep.
11-12 hours is actually a pretty normal length of sleep once babies really STTN. My toddler sleeps about 11 hours a night.11-12 hours is the goal. If your baby can do it, rejoice!
Don't wake a sleeping baby!
