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.

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.

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

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.

After our 4 week well care appt the doctor told us we could stop. It has been amazing..

Never had to. He woke every 2 hours to eat for at least 6 weeks.

Once she hit her birth weight we didn't wake her up again at all!

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!

I never woke him. The majority of the time he woke up on his own & 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)

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!

I never woke either of my kids.
