From what age...

[MissThing]

Hello everyone!

From what age I can start letting Daniel sleep throught the night?
Now, after his 9-10 pm feed I am waking him up at about 12. But then it takes ages to make him go to sleep again. And then he wakes up at 6 am every morning.
Is it ok not to wake him up at 12 and just let him sleep as long as he wants to?

Thank for your answers

yeah i have never woken Evie up past 10.30pm since the day she was born, if she woke up we'd feed her but if she didnt we would just et her sleep through.
At first she would always wake up herself sometime during the night, but by 5 weeks she had slept through and has never woken up for a feed in the night since.

I was waking Jake up for feeds but my HV said not to, if he wakes obviously feed him if he wants but if he doesnt wake up then let him (and yourself) sleep. He slept throught from about 6 weeks

I've never woke Isaac for a feed, but stayed awake fretting myself a few times when he's gone for over 10hrs LO's usually wake if they are hungry so if your son is like that, then let him sleep through
