I don't think that all babies should be able to go 5 hours at night without eating at 6 weeks because babies are not robots that are programmed to be the exact same, but ideally she should be able to go as long at night (if not longer) than in the day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-baby-naps-and-feedings#post-231329 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 14:21:18 +0000 BeachMama 231329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd let her sleep unless you think she's not getting filled up enough during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-baby-naps-and-feedings#post-231274 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:29:33 +0000 kiddosc 231274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she's sleeping well at night, then I wouldn't wake her up. At 6 weeks she should be able to go 5 hours without eating. If all the daytime napping is keeping her up at night though, I'd wake her up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-baby-naps-and-feedings#post-231267 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:25:01 +0000 mediagirl 231267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 6 weeks old today. There are days when we're home all day when she will sleep for 4-5 hour stretches. She's eating plenty when she's not sleeping. I'm just wondering if I should wake her up during these marathon nap sessions or just let her sleep? She's been so fussy lately (I think it's a growth spurt) that I hate to wake her up. </p>
