Except my LO is almost 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807225 Fri, 24 May 2013 11:14:53 +0000 shopaholic 807225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So she woke up about 10 min. after I posted this. :) I guess I get more worried than anything. If it weren't for the video and AngelCare monitor, I'd probably be in there checking her breathing!</p> <p>@hilsy85: @T.H.O.U.: @oliviaoblivia: The interesting thing is that my boobs never really hurt from engorgement anymore! I guess that's the "regulating" working? But this reminded me to go pump the other side and I got almost 4 oz.!</p> <p>@QueensBee: That's reassuring to know!</p> <p>@BlueWolverine: I've totally done that when engorgement was painful. Like "c'mon baby! wake up!" Even when she stirred, I've tried feeding her a few times but she was too sleepy to even take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807204 Fri, 24 May 2013 11:07:25 +0000 sslm 807204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The longest she's slept so far is 5.5 hours! Although usually it's me that wakes up and we do a dream feed. My midwife said not to let her go more than 6/7 hours and she's almost 5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807176 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:56:31 +0000 birdofafeather 807176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did 9+ a couple times at that age. But not regularly. My boobs always killed! But sleep was so nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807168 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:53:43 +0000 BlueWolverine 807168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 4.5 mo and we've gone 11 or so. When she first started STTN, I used to lie in bed and root for her to wake up because I was SO uncomfortable. DH laughed at me the first time this happened because she made a noise and I jumped out of bed and joyfully declared, "She's up!" I do hate waking her and have only done it few times -- and never for my boobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807145 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:47:30 +0000 Smurfette 807145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have gone 9.5 hours twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807107 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:41:11 +0000 Weagle 807107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gone 13ish, but LO is a year old. At 11 weeks we were going 10+ overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807095 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:38:12 +0000 oliviaoblivia 807095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 11w L was sleeping 12+/-. She just picked up her feelings during the day. The first few days I woke up rock hard and soaking wet, but it regulated quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807082 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:35:15 +0000 QueensBee 807082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The longest DS has gone is probably 9 hours. I know how tempting it can be to wake them up though! If it helps at all, our pediatrician said babies are capable of going up to 12 hours between feeds, if they are sleeping, after 8-9 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807021 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:19:33 +0000 LulaBee 807021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The longest DD has gone is 4 hours and she's almost 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807017 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:17:42 +0000 runsyellowlites 807017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 hours, but that wasn't until P was almost a year. Before that we went max 5.5 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807014 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:17:01 +0000 heartonastring 807014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 hours. It's only happened a couple times and each time I feel really guilty and sit by her PnP waiting for her to wake up. Everyone (midwife, LC etc.) has told me to let her sleep though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807012 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:15:34 +0000 ALV91711 807012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The longest we have had is 4.5 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-807007 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:13:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 807007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say by 10 hours or so I would wake her up. Have you pumped? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-806997 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:10:48 +0000 hilsy85 806997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age I think the longer I went was 10 hours? But that was only a few times..I would let her sleep, unless you're really uncomfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-between-feedings#post-806799 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:14:57 +0000 shopaholic 806799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you EBF, what is the longest you go in between feedings? I've been up for an hour waiting for K to wake up (she's a noisy sleeper so I thought she was waking a few times). It's been 9.25 hrs since her last feeding. She did 9.5 hrs ONCE but that was almost 2 weeks ago. I just keep thinking I should wake her up to eat. But I don't want to wake a sleeping baby! (She's 11+ weeks) </p>
