sleep baby

[17july]

hello ladies I would like some advice from your personal experiences.  I have a 2 weeks 5 days old baby and he use to wake up in the early hours for feeds but the last 2 days he has been sleeping through the night Iv been waking him up for feeds and nappy changing I'd like to know is this normal ? when do newborns sleep through the night please don't answer me via google I'd appreciate genuine input

thank you in advance

Yeah I've never woken up my kids for nappy changes! If they're uncomfortable during the night they'll probably wake up... If your baby is a regular weight and growing normally, there's probably no reason to wake them at night for a feed either, just enjoy your sleep and offer more feeds the next day :)

My daughter slept through the night almost exclusively from day 1. All babies are different. And as far as waking him up, it's definitely your prerogative and please don't think I'm judging you, but I don't think you should. I know they tell you they have to eat every so many hours, but if you do that, he will demand food every so many hours for the rest of his not solid food life. Like, wake up out of a dead sleep and scream for food. If he's hungry or needs a butt change, he'll wake up. I promise.

Yes it's normal  and they'll no do it some nights my little guy would sleep great at nights for the frist 3 months  but then stopped :( he's now 3years and started sleeping great when he was about 2 he would wake up for food in the middle of the night iam told it was bc he was grow and now that he's 3 he slows down

my girls used to do that and I thought babies needed a feed every couple of hours so I woke them up for feeds and nappy changes, I'm expecting a boy this time so wonder if he will be the same only 9 weeks left till he is here xxx

Well babies are expected to sleep long hours. Its normal. If anything shud get you worked up its when the baby is restless and cries alot. I think ur jus lucky to hav a peaceful one. Congrats.
