Re: How many hours does your newborn sleep at night?

My DD would eat every 3 hours when she was first born. By the time I was done b/f and got her to sleep she would get about 2 hours of sleep. She started sleeping a little longer each week.

At 6 weeks she starting doing 7 hour stretches. This lasted until 11 weeks when she regressed and starting waking every 4-5 hours.

We are very lucky. By 6 weeks he was sleeping 9 hours a night. Then he'd get up, eat and go back to sleep for another 4 hours.

My DS is going to be 2 weeks this thursday. As of right now, we feed him around 9:30pm and he stays asleep for a good 4 hours. Then from there he is up every 3 hours.

Septemberbride03 and Hmm8191....

Were your children formula fed or breast fed?

I'm BF and my son has started giving me long stretches at night as well, but when he wakes up he eats every hour...

I'm trying to figure out if he eats so often because he sleeps so long and wakes up so hungry?

DS does this too. His sleep schedule is all over the place, but if he has a 4 or 5 hour stretch, he tends to nurse every hour or two after that. I also think it's b/c he's going longer than usual between feedings.

Abby, who was 3 weeks old yesterday... has been sleeping anywhere from 4-6 hours at night...we have had quite a few 6 hour stretches which is nice-

At night we only formula feed since she sleeps better with formula
