Dd slept through the night last night (aged 11wks) from about 7.15pm through to 6.15am (no DF). Well, actually I did have to put the dummy back in a couple of times around 8pm (she was sooo tired at bedtime that she was virtually asleep when I put her down). Now, I'm not complaining, but is this ok?? She has had a couple of days of really terrible feeds (ebf) and I'm pretty sure she hasn't been having enough to drink (this morning her nappy was wet but not soaking). So why sleep through?? Was her need for sleep greater than her need for food? She is not a big baby - weighed 4.68kg last Wed (10lb5oz I think).
I have tried waking her at my bedtime for feeds but these are never very successful - she doesn't take much, and it doesn't stretch her sleeping either.
I am worried that something is wrong!! Mind you, she did have the best feed she's had in a while this morning.
Day sleeps: seems to have developed a good morning nap, then maybe one other good nap, then just a couple of catnaps. She usually wakes at the 40min mark, and for the morning nap usually puts herself back to sleep, and maybe the second nap she'll go back to sleep if I get the dummy back in quick enough. If we go out she sleeps terribly/not at all (like yesterday afternoon).
Yesterday she only had 5 bf in 24hrs since no night time feed.
Any thoughts??
