My baby is 12 weeks old and for the last 3 nights hse has really ben sleeping. It has been great. Since she isn't waking for a feeding in the middle of the night should she be eating more often or is she just eating more??
I am exclusively breast feeding.
I read somewhere that newborns should eat 8-12 times per day but now she is almost 3 months..
Also, shw would wake up if she was hungry, right??
Some babys start to sleep thur the night at that age. As long as they are getting enough ounces per day its fine. Its diffrent with every baby, but I think 24 ounces in a 24 hour period is right. Lucky you!!! Enjoy your sleep!
Let her sleep and ENJOY!!! My son is 4 mo old and still wakes up 2 times a night to eat! As long as she is gaining weight and growing (per your ped.), let her be, she is doing GREAT! Don't worry she will wake you if she needs you - trust me :)
your baby knows when she is hungry. just let her sleep she will be ok. my daughter at 1 1/2 months slept for 11 hours straight one night and i still woke up every 3 hours to see if she was awake and to make sure she was breathing lol. but i never woke her up to feed her. his mother in law got mad and was like she needs to eat no matter what and i told her that if she was hungry she would have woke up because babies do get hunger pains. anyways take your babies cues as long as she is gaining weight she should be just fine! good luck!
Relax, when my twins were born they ate every two hours and I was told that was too much. But they knew when they were hungry and told me so. Enjoy the sleep while you can. Your baby will tell you when she needs you.
I would let her sleep. She is probably going through a growth spurt and soon enough may be waking you at night again.
Good sleeping!

Only the insane will wake a sleeping baby! Enjoy those times that she does sleep through the night because growth spurts will hit and she won't be able to. My son does the same thing and he's 14 weeks.
He does do the loooooooooooong eating periods before going to bed though so he can stock up and again in the morning.
He will eat and wake when hungry. YOu'll notice times when he seems botomless! That just means he's growing. Other times he won't need so much. Just go by his cues and don't worry so much. Don't go by what you read either. Take it as common knowlege, but it all boils down to the fact that you are mommy and you know your baby best. Do what feels right!
