sleeping through?

[sarah113]

Hayden slept for 8 hours last night but the problem is i thought babies of his age were not supposed to sleep that long? i mentioned it to the h/v today and she said as long as his gaining weight dont worry about it, does/did anyone elses babies sleep for that long when they were still very tiny?
sorry i think i just worry too much, i didnt get much sleep though i was up every hour nearly giving him a poke to see if he was ok

Grace also started sleeping through at 3 weeks - I spoke to my HV and like yours she said that as long as Grace was gaining weight then it wasn't a problem - otherwise I would have to wake her in the night for another feed. So far she is gaining well.

The only problem we had was that I am BF and ended up soaking by the mornings ........... but eventually my breasts must have got used to it and things have settled down.

Sometimes Grace wakes at night for a feed .......but mostly sleeps through. I put her down at 7 pm, wake her at 10 pm for a feed and nappy change, then she sleeps from anytime between 6.30 and 7.30 am

It is such a blessing - enjoy every moment of your nights sleep !!
