Title: Should I wake him up during a nap to feed?
Post by: Drebolinger on June 08, 2017, 18:35:05 pm

My Lo took a 30 min nap. Got him back to sleep after an hour but now he is sleeping through his feed time. Should I wake him to feed or let him sleep?

Hi there, welcome to the boards :). you don't say how old your LO is but as a general rule I would personally let them sleep.  If they are really hungry they will wake up!  An exception might be a very young baby who has not yet well-established day and night, but even so I would still have let mine go 30-60 mins past a 'planned' feed time before waking.

Thank you! My baby is 5 mo and a healthy 20 lbs so I think I will let him rest then!

That happens a lot with  our 11 week old.  Same thing. 
I'll often let him nap 30 extra minutes then wake to feed him.  Then I'll adjust the next wake time length,  however he usually does it himself,  (wanting to nap earlier)  next time.
