Is 6-7 hours too long to go without eating?
Maybe I should be thankful and not worried, but for the past few nights, DD has gone for 6-7 hours between feedings. I know its great for me that I'm getting more sleep but should I be worried that she goes that long without eating? She is 2 months, and exclusively breastfeeding?

How is her weight? If she has been gaining fine and her weight is healthy, I'd just be grateful for the rest!!

Re: Is 6-7 hours too long to go without eating?
I would let the baby sleep, however, if you are concerned you could do a dream feed. I did that with my DD for a while. While she is sleeping, you just pick her up and feed her & then put her right back down. My DD wouldn't even open her eyes but she would nurse (instinct, I guess).

Re: Is 6-7 hours too long to go without eating?
I'd agree with APs if her weight is fine then it's probably ok. I'd also add that if your supply is fine then don't worry but if you've been having problems with it then pump at night so it won't drop off.
