    He's still alseep

    Its coming up to 8 and 3/4 hours now, and DS2 is still asleep.
    Im sure DS1 didnt sleep this long at 2weeks...Ive checked that he is OK, whic he is, just sleeping.

    Do I wake him up?

    Im not worried about him missing a feed, weight gain wise, Im worried about my poor bbs and supply though..I think we may be in for a day of constant feeds as a result

    Very jelous Ray!
    I'd let him sleep. Lu did 8-10 hr stints from about 2 weeks. Her weight gain was fine, but like you say he'll prob feed more today. She did anyway.
    The way i see it is they need a certain amount of calories in a 24hr period, so as long as they have enough in the day, it's ok to do a long sleep.

    But if you are worried, just wake him!

    Also just check if he's jaundiced. If he is, may need some sunlight!! But other than that, enjoy!! xo

    Oh yeah, good ponit m23. it's ok to let him sleep presuming there is no medical reason to wake him.

    I probably wouldn't let him sleep past 9.5/10hrs though, I'd pop him on the boob then for sure!
