Stupid question about sleep time!!

[Georgena]

Hey everyone!!!
Just one quick question,think its a silly questin but i just want to confirm!!
If i put DD to bed at 8, dream feed at 10:30 and then she wakes at 3am, that's 7 hours right?? You take it from bed time not df time??
My DD is 11 weeks, is this about right??
Thanks everyone, this all still seems a bit overwhelming sometimes!!

Hi, not sure about how your count the no. of hours asleep, but when DS was 10 weeks old, his DF was at 11:30pm and he usually woke up around 4:30-5am for a feed, so that sounds similar to yours. This week (12 weeks), he can stay asleep until 5:30am - 7:30am (different every day).

Yes it's 7 hours.
I'm not totally sure what you were asking though   Are you wondering if she's sleeping through the night?  If so I'd say yes (for this age), this length of sleep is classed as STTN despite 3am being a rather undesirable time to get up.

I dont really know what my question was either  ( do brain cells ever return!!??!!)
 I think i just wanted to check we were on the right track!!

Brain cells - what are they

It can depend too if you are breast or formula feeding. All babies need night feeds for some time yet, sometimes BF babies can need night feeds for longer than formula fed babies (night feeds stimulate increased supply for growth).
You will likely see that 3am feed get later as the long sleep comes after the DF which is one reason why it's a bonus for parents, so you get to sleep during LO's long sleep.

Looks like you're doing just fine mummy
