I'm really paranoid about maintaining a good supply. I don't wake her up at night at all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011683 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:18:56 +0000 Smurfette 1011683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I agree with @travellingbee: wake during the day to eat so they have a better chance of sleeping at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011677 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:17:28 +0000 travellingbee 1011677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Not necessary medically I guess but helps them get enough calories during the day so they don't need as many at night. I just stopped doing that at about 4 months, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011673 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:13:43 +0000 Ra 1011673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: @travellingbee: Really? Both my pedi and my LC said it was fine after he reached his birth weight at 2 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011672 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:13:20 +0000 LazyLightning 1011672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake my girl if she naps too late in the day because it leads to a crappy night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011669 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:11:29 +0000 travellingbee 1011669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: no me neither! My LC said 2 1/2 hours max and to wake to feed during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011592 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:30:06 +0000 sslm 1011592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age I wasn't letting her go longer than 3 hours during the day without nursing! I guess I'm an anomaly though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011574 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:19:15 +0000 Ra 1011574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He woke 5 mins after I posted this! Go figure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011572 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:18:12 +0000 Espion 1011572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wondered the same thing today!! I was even going to start a thread, heh. In the end, we finally woke him, as it was more than an hour past his usual time to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011517 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 18:52:54 +0000 autumnlove 1011517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let him sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011505 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 18:48:06 +0000 HLK208 1011505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let him sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011496 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 18:44:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 1011496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently have the same debate! But C looks like she is stirring now. She frequently goes 3 hours or so between feedings, but then cluster feeds. Ped said it was OK... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-wake-him#post-1011492 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 18:41:35 +0000 Ra 1011492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 8 weeks old. He usually only naps in the car or for brief 20-30 minute naps during the day.</p> <p>Today, he fell asleep around 5:30. He's been zonked for 2 hours! He usually goes down for the night around 9pm. Should I wake him? It's been 3 hours since his last nursing session so I figured he'd wake to eat by now. No such luck! </p>
