How long do I let my 7wk old baby sleep?
My son is 7wks old and will sleep 6 to 7 hrs at night before getting hungry? I know they say not to wake a sleeping baby to eat but is that to long at this age?? He seems to be gaining weigh ok.

No, thats amazing! if he is hungry he will let ya know. and as long as he is gaining weight that is good too! don’t worry…be grateful! =]
That’s fine. In a few weeks you’ll be wishing for this time back. My little guy slept alot until about 8 weeks old and now he’s just developing a sleeping pattern that I can deal with! He’s nearly 3 months
Yeah doctors will tell you to feed them every 5hrs, but if he’s already sleeping good thru the night, I wouldn’t interrupt him. As long as his weight’s ok, let him rest. You’re already ahead of the game with a Kid that sleeps thru the night:)
If he’s gaining weight properly and having enough wet diapers, enjoy the long sleeps. In fact– it could end at any moment– you may have jinxed it by asking the question. Go to bed now– it could be your last chance.
wow you are one of the lucky ones don’t worry your son will be just fine if you let him sleep he just has picked up your sleep schedule really quickly.if you would like you can wake him up once you are awake and ready for the day it doesn’t hurt to have them on the same night schedule as you as long as they have naps in the day (I know you know that) so enjoy your peaceful baby.and congrats you have gotten through the worst for now
as long as he is gaining weigh and has good amount of soiled/wet diapers its nothign to worry about. your one of the lucky few tht get som shut eye =P I def would wake him when he hits a 9 hour mark though 9-12 hours is far too long for a 7wk to go without food. thats just my opinion though. I would ask ur pedi next visit just to make sure =)
you have a baby that is gaining weight and sleeps thru the night, at 7 wks sounds good to me. let the lil angel sleep. so long as he is gaining weight and is happy you have no worries. Enjoy being a mom. My son slept like that too and now he is 16yrs old 6’2″ and 235lbs the yrs go by too fast.
let him sleep however long he wants to sleep!he will wake up when he gets hungry..dont worry u are just blessed with a baby that sleeps through!dats great for u!
doctors and midwives had me waking my newborn every 4hrs for a feed because he was premmie and wouldn’t wake up for feeds on his own.
But once he was a month old they said to leave him sleep until he woke on his own. He’s slept well ever since.
It’s perfectly safe for him to sleep as much as he likes – babies bodies are very busy in their sleep, lots of growing, processing, digesting, rebuilding cells etc. they need their sleep.
