Wait. Honestly, they do sleep in the end. If you don't want baby to scream alone, you wait. This is ridiculously early to be sleeping through and not great for bfing. Storm did a 4hr, 2hr then 3hr sleep overnight last night, pretty usual, only the 3hr one was not being held! Turns out he's a tummy sleeper. Sadly I was needing to feed when he woke up so fed him both very full breasts. Another hour's snooze, dressed and heading downstairs... Cue powerspew as he overfeeds if I let him.
At this stage, they usually need feeding every 3hrs or so overnight. If it's just feed back to sleep, they'll sleep through as soon as their tummy is ready. And under a year, sleeping through is classed as 5 hours overnight, which most babies do by 6 months.
I went out with some work friends last night, with Stormageddon in tow. The staff at the Thai restaurant loved him so much they cuddled him as I ate. Fantastic! He was awake the whole time but started getting grumpy about 9.30, not unexpected really.
