My 2 month old has been going longer stretches at night and I am wondering if this is OK feeding wise to let her go this long? She gets a bottle around 6:30 pm and then down at 8:00 pm and she will sometimes go until 4:00 am! Sometimes she will only make it until 12:00 am and then i'll give her a bottle if she wakes/stirs. She is exclusively bottle fed now and shes 10 lbs 1 oz. We just had a checkup and pediatrician said she was gaining well but I just want to make sure I am not stretching her too thin in between feedings at night. During the day she gets a 4 oz bottle every 3-4 hrs and never longer than 4 hours. Thanks for any input! You forgot this stuff even the second time around. I think I remember my son started sleeping through the night around 3 months and I am wishing I wrote all this stuff down from before!

Girl, enjoy!

Yes just go with it and get some sleep! My first sttn at 10 weeks on her own. My next kids did not come even close. I definitely did not appreciate how awesome that was!

@paigeface: it’s a miracle!!
My babe has also been sleeping 8-4
My son NEVER slept that long until he was two years old
so I am in total shockBut the pediatrician says it’s great, as long as she is gaining weight and eating well
Let’s hope they keep it up!
-
Absolutely do not wake her! If they're hungry, they'll wake up
-
Yeah, I say enjoy it while it lasts if she's gaining well. My 14 mo old slept through the night from 2.5-5 months and it was wonderful. The 4 month regression hit her hard but overall she's continued to be a good sleeper.
-
I agree with everyone else, as long as she's gaining weight then enjoy the uninterrupted sleep!
-
I was always told as long as they've surpassed their birth weight and no other concerns, let them sleep and you sleep too! That is such a great stretch!
-
Sounds good to me! I stopped waking at night once baby hits birth weight. Both my babies slept long stretches like that at 10 weeks and slept fully 7-7 around 14 weeks. Enjoy!
-
Definitely ok! Unless your doc instructs you to wake them for feeding, let the baby take the lead at night. They’ll wake if hungry and sleep if not.
That’s awesome, enjoy!!!! -
Sounds OK to me! At that age, my son got 50% formula and was sleeping through the night.

Thank you all! I must have jinxed it with this post! She was up twice last night. Ha ha!
