12-week old sleeping 9:30pm to 7am with no feeds?

I’m really pleased that we’re all getting some good chunks of sleep, but is this normal?! He’s having a final feed around 9, will fight sleep for a while but once he’s gone, he’s gone. It’s been four nights now of no waking to feed. I didn’t expect this for a very long time. Has anyone else experienced this? I do not expect it’ll last so we’ll try and enjoy it whilst we can!

My son was a very good sleeper at this age too! The pediatrician was ok since he was gaining enough weight. It did change around 5 months and started waking up to eat once at night

That's amazing!!! But I would make sure his weight is ok and he's fine during the night. I saw a video of a midwife talking about how pleased parents are when their babies (newborns) sleep all night but it gets to a point where the baby doesn't have enough energy to wake up/cry to be fed and babies have died due to this. Not wanting to scare you!!! It's been on my mind ever since I watched it. But maybe she was talking about younger babies who should be fed every 3-4 hours. I remember when my baby was about 5-6 weeks old he slept for 5 hours one night so I checked with the health visitor if that was OK and she said they can go a stretch of 6 hours with no feed once in 24 hours and they are fine. Enjoy the sleep!!

@Lemees jeeez!! He’s gaining weight steadily thankfully. And he has a tonne of energy when he wakes up!
