Newborn sleep
My baby is 5 weeks old and just slept 6 hours straight at night. She usually sleeps 4 hours max and I made her a bottle at the 4 hour mark for when she woke up but she didn’t and I fell asleep again. Then I startled awake at 6 hours and had to wake her to feed. On Google it says to feed every 3-4 hours… is 6 hours bad as a one off? She’s well above her birth weight and weighed 9 pounds 7 at birth.. just worried she’s dehydrated or something now. 😓

If she's above her birth weight then it's absolutely fine to leave her she obviously needed the sleep and she will wake when hungry. It's so hard to begin with I'd panic waking up but my 16 week old has slept through 9 hours since around 10 weeks. Enjoy the sleep. You're doing amazing ❤️
Thanks both 💕 feeling relieved now!

If she’s above her birth weight you can leave her to sleep for as long as she wants. She’ll feed when she’s hungry. At 6 weeks my baby was sleeping 10 hours x
