What would you do?
« on: July 01, 2009, 13:11:34 pm »
As we speak (approx 9am in Toronto) my 10 week old DD is still sleeping.  She went to bed at around 9:30pm last night.  I tanked her up but did not do a dreamfeed.  She woke up at 2am and was grunting so I picked her up and put her on the breast.  She ate for 3 minutes.  Obviously she wasn't hungry.  She did the same thing around 5:30am.  This time she ate for 5 minutes.  It is now 9am and she is still sleeping.  Should I wake her to eat?  She is not crying when she wakes in the middle of the night - just grunting which I beleive are her efforts to break free from her Miracle Blanket and/or gas.
Is it OK for her to go this long without food in the middle of the night?

how much does she weigh? i've heard that once they pass 10lbs you don't need to worry about waking them up...just follow their lead. i have to admit, i'm a bit jealous as ds1 took 9 months to sleep through the night and now i'm back in the throes of nursing every 3 hours all night long!

i would think, though that if you want your day to begin at 9, then go ahead and wake her to feed her. just to keep your routine going :)

Hi Ladies,
She woke up 15 minutes after I posted.  She's really not sleeping through the night as she wakes up twice.  But since she is not crying I will take that to mean that she does not need me and let her be.  I'll watch to see what happens.  Last night she woke up at 3am and I could hear her smacking her lips so I knew she was hungry.  She took a decent feed then.  Thanks for you help!
