When to stop waking baby up to eat?
Our newborn is ~3.5 weeks old, and is eating every 2-3 hours. At night she goes at least 3, but could probably go longer stretches sometimes - just not sure if we should let her!
She got back to her birth weight when she was a little over a week old, and as of her 2 week appointment has been gaining weight consistently. She's also in the 80-90 percentiles for height and weight so no worries about her being too small 😅
When did you stop waking your baby up at night to eat?

Aww 3.5 weeks already 🥹The 6 week weight check-in was our test! After passing that, we didn't have to wake them up to eat anymore.

The doctor should tell you! We prob stopped around 2 weeks or so. Not entirely sure but somewhere around then. Ask your ped.

Since she’s reached her birth weight I think it’s prob ok to let her sleep and have her wake YOU! But would ask ped for sure.
