My DD2 slept from 7pm till 6.30 this morning. She is 8 weeks old and rarely cries, she mostly grunts a lot! but when she is awake she is very alert. She usually wakes for one feed or two during the night (1am and 5). She is 61cm long and over 5.5kgs.
Is this ok?
My other daughter was a terrible sleeper and I am not used to this at all!!!
ds used to do this just sleep for 21 hours a day in total they said babies can sleep that long it was like he fed and slept that was it. As a result we struggled with weight gain along with other issues like bfing issues and tounge tie but ds was only 3.5 kilo around 8 weeks old
DD started sleeping like this at roughly the same age. You may find these sleeps start happening more regularly. DD has started going down between 8-9pm then wakes between 6-7.30am and she is a tad over 11 weeks.
Sounds fine to me! My DS#1 slept through from 10pm - 8.15am from 8 weeks of age and DS#2 slept from about 10pm - 7am from 6 weeks of age.....they are now both robust little boys, great sleepers still and love their food! As long as bubs continues to put on weight, is happy and content (babies don't have to cry alot! It is a blessing when they are this good!!!) and feeding well - you are doing fine and everything is okay!
However....if you still are concerend, just speak with your CHN.....just the same as if you think they might be sick you would go to the GP. No one will tell you that you are silly. Just a GREAT, GREAT Mummy!!!!
My DD started sleeping through at 8 weeks and has ever since, she is 16 weeks tomorrow. She will sleep for around 11 1/2 - 12 hours every night and also rarely cries. When she wakes in the morning she will happily play in her cot until I go and get her.
Some babies are just better sleepers and it seems like you have one as well.
