Smile Sleep?

So ever since I've brought Elliott home he always has a good nursing session around 930/10ish at night and then I've had to wake him around 3ish in the morning. He has never once woken up himself to eat during the night. Now my question is should I just let him sleep and wait until he wakes up on his own or should I keep waking him up? He always eats really well when I do get him up but it's like he rather sleep. I never had this with my dd so I really don't know. Thanks!!

I say let him sleep, he will wake when/ if hungry. Unless he isn't growing well there should be no need to wake him and get him into a habit he doesn't need.

BTW that is so unfair Callum still wakes at 1100 and 130

Riley was the same way from day 1! Enjoy it! I never woke him to feed him - at night I would pump for relief because he slept so long. Good baby!

That's what everyone is telling me so I think I'll just let him sleep. Unfortunely Bella still gets up at least 2x a night so I'm still getting up with her. Now only if I could figure out how to get her to sleep the night I would be set....

If baby is hungry, he will awaken and let you know!

Unless your baby is not gaining weight, always let a sleeping baby sleep.
