At what age can you let a sleeping baby sleep?
Aly took a pacifier last night (a Gerber silicone one)....she ate around 7 ish and I had to wake her around 1am to feed her. Then she woke around 4 and then I fed her again at 7:30am.

Never wake a sleeping baby. They will wake up when they are hungry.

I agree, if she's getting enough in during the day she should be fine. If she is hungry she'll let you know I wouldn't wake her.

I believe in never waking a sleeping baby, unless they are having problems gaining weight and your doctor tells you otherwise....enjoy the sleep!

Re: At what age can you let a sleeping baby sleep?
I agree about never waking here however I do remember waking my son before I went to sleep to give him a bottle at around 11:30 so I could get some sleep . I didnt want to fall asleep at 11:30 and get woken up at 1:00. I just know I gave him a bottle and he usually slept and drank it at 11:30 and then I got sleep until about 4:30.
Did anyone elss do this?

We do... it's called a dream feed. Before we go to sleep we'll take her out of her crib, feed her while she's still asleep and put her back in.

Re: At what age can you let a sleeping baby sleep?
As per my Ped we stopped waking Aidan as soon as he was back up to his birth weight.
(approx 2 weeks for him, BF issues)

I would not wake her in the middle of the night to feed her. She will let you know if she is hungry.

Re: At what age can you let a sleeping baby sleep?
Our Ped told us that as long as the weight gain is increasing there is no need to wake the baby

Re: At what age can you let a sleeping baby sleep?
My ped told me to wake my son every 2 hrs to BF or every 4 with formula the first week b/c when they sleep too long they miss out on a feeding and therefore calories. He wanted to see him back up to his birth weight by his 3rd week. Now, I don't wake him up but he's like a clock every 3-4 hrs he wakes up to eat, except at night--he'll sleep 7-8 hrs at night straight.

I know it's been said many times here... let your baby sleep. They'll let you know when hungry.
