That seems like such bad karma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-498108 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:54:16 +0000 chopsuey 498108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never woke either of my kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-498095 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:48:49 +0000 Jenn23 498095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After about 3 weeks or so. He started sleeping through the night at around 4-5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-498086 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:45:24 +0000 lemondrop 498086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had to, he was always a step ahead of me. He could go from sleeping to starving in 30 seconds or less. After a week or so, there was no way I would wake him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497873 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:48:32 +0000 mrsmenow 497873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little chunker has gained 2bs in 3 weeks so we definately got the "a okay" to quit waking her. Our longest stretch ladt night was 5.5 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497332 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 09:18:27 +0000 sera_87 497332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never woke him. The majority of the time he woke up on his own &amp; the few times he didn't I REALLY needed the sleep. Lol. (He gained all his weight back plus a few extra ouces by 2 weeks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497270 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:56:07 +0000 mamimami 497270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a week when we saw she was gaining very well! But she woke up by herself no problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497263 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:53:11 +0000 PrincessBaby 497263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were waking to feed every 2-3 hours bc of H's jaundice- so she'd poop and pee it out with frequent feedings...Ped said we could stop worrying with that a couple of weeks ago, but she pretty consistently wakes up every 3 hours on her own. I put her down at 11:15 last night, she woke at 2:30, put her down again at around 4a, she woke up at 7:15...It could be worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497200 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:20:11 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 497200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never woke to feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497155 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 07:56:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 497155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once she hit her birth weight we didn't wake her up again at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497089 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:58:35 +0000 MamaMoose 497089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's almost 7 weeks and I still have to wake her sometimes during the day (I don't let her go more than 3 hours). But I stopped night wakings at 3 weeks. We were waking her every 5 hours. She was back at birthweight by 1 week but she was such a great sleeper that the doc told me to keep waking her for the sake of establishing my supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497085 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:47:42 +0000 BananaPancakes 497085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had to. He woke every 2 hours to eat for at least 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497080 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:43:31 +0000 wheres_c 497080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the ok at the 4 wk appointment.<br /> Lo never got the memo that he's allowed to sleep through the night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-497070 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:04:15 +0000 LaineysMom 497070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After our 4 week well care appt the doctor told us we could stop. It has been amazing.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494659 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:37:31 +0000 hilsy85 494659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once he reached his birthweight...although I still woke him if it was going on more than 4 horus since he last ate. I did that until maybe 5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494390 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:20:19 +0000 mrsmenow 494390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully we get the ok to quit waking her during the night at today's appointment. She hardly lost any weight before we left the hospital (my milk was already in before we left). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494386 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:18:27 +0000 sunny 494386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pedi said we could stop waking LO to eat when she reached her birthweight. For us that was right at the 14 day mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494351 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:10:19 +0000 Andrea 494351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on day 11 and I am still waking her because she's not at her birth weight yet and she's not waking up on her own. I plan to stop waking her at night once she is back up but I will still wake her up during the day if she goes past a feeding time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494189 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:29:14 +0000 mamabolt 494189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5 days she had started gaining back a lot of weight so clearly was doing ok, so I stopped waking her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494180 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:27:56 +0000 immabeetoo 494180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only did until he was 5 days old - he'd gained enough weight back at our first pediatrician appointment that she said to stop. That's awesome that she is already sleeping 4-5 hours at night though! That's what we're getting now at almost 7 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494157 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:22:34 +0000 Bluebonnet 494157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I ever had to wake her to eat. She would wake up on her own (usually with in the time frame recommended by our pedi to feed her). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494139 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:16:28 +0000 cvbee 494139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was *ready* to wake him in those first few days, but he always woke up in whatever margins the nurses from the hospital told me to follow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494137 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:15:33 +0000 mrsmenow 494137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I woke my second up so much to eat, but then I got hooked on kellymom, and it made me think I needed to wake to eat all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494115 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:12:13 +0000 Weagle 494115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also never woke LO to eat. She LOVED to nurse during the day and would wake up every 4-5 hours at night on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494088 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:06:47 +0000 Bao 494088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never woke her to BF, even in the early weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-quit-waking-lo-to-bf#post-494080 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:05:07 +0000 mrsmenow 494080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 3 weeks old tomorrow and I feel like I am still waking her a majority of the time to eat- every -.5 hours during the day and then every 4-5 hours at night. some nights she is so out that she will eat, burp, and go back to her crib without really waking (some nights I am not so lucky).</p> <p>We have an MD appt today so I will ask our MD, but when did you start with baby led feedings? </p>
