If it was during the night and you know bubs had a full belly when he went to bed, then no I wouldn’t wake him. If you’re feeding him, you might need to get up to express but personally I wouldn’t wake him.
If it was during the day then I probably would.
yes, wake them every 4-5 hours but if you are concerned or would like them to sleep longer I would talk to GP. it also depends too – if he’s formula feed, they can be known to sleep longer than breastfed.
Newborns will wake up and want to be fed about every 3-4 hours at first. Do not let your newborn sleep longer than 5 hours at a time in the first 5-6 weeks. After that, it’s OK to let your baby sleep for longer periods of time, certainly at night !
A new born needs it nourishment so yes l would wake them. But as the baby gets older l tended to let them sleep, especially if it was the evening sleep so it would eventually lead them to sleeping through the night.
Only on doctors recommendation. But if your baby is healthy and flinging weight, then no way do you wake a sleeping baby. They will wake themselves when hungry
Depends on how old bub is and how long between feeds. If he’s tiny, don’t let it go too long between feeds. If they’re a little older, they can go a bit longer. Also, if they don’t do it too often, it should be ok too. Tiny babies dehydrate quickly
How old is your newborn?? We were told by medical professionals to wake bubs up for the first 2 – 3 weeks because a newborn baby can easily sleep heavily and dehydrate before she/he wakes.
Oo I don’t know. I’ve never had to wake my baby during the day. If it’s overnight no, they can go longer then. If it’s a one off maybe see how long they sleep? If they keep sleeping that long All the time check with a midwife. As someone else said if your baby is healthy and putting on weight it’s probably all fine to leave them sleeping.
It depends. If he is putting on weight and feeding properly then do not wake him. If he is having trouble keeping weight on and is too sleepy for a proper feed you may need to wake him but I would see a lactation consultant about it first.
