After she was back up to birth weight our ped was fine with it.

Mine never slept more than four hours until around 2 months, but I wouldn't have worried abt it once she was back to birth weight.

I never woke her to eat. I figured she would tell me when she was ready but we had no weight issues.

S is 3.5mths and I am waking her up twice to eat still. She started sleeping through at 8wks and I heard it was fine not to wake her...but then she started to lose weight. Just keep an eye on her weight, though you'll probably be fine

Never woke up to feed.

My DD is five weeks and was born in Austria. She is a very sleepy newborn. At the hospital they said to wake her every 3-4 hours during the day to feed, but let her sleep at night. This is in total contrast to having my DS in the US where they said he needed to eat every 3 hours around the clock! DD now wakes up on her own when she is hungry.

Never. She was in the hospital the first week and they fed her on a schedule. She kept us on that schedule!

On day five, when he was at his discharge weight from day three, upon the pediatrician's recommendation. I continued to wake him to eat every three hours during the day. He is EBF and has always had great weight gain.

I stopped waking her every two around a month maybe? It was when her doctor said I no longer needed to... that she would tell me when she was hungry, which I think is most important (when lo's doctor says...) Doc said to still wake her during the day to eat every two.
