Feeling bad

We fed our 4month old an 8oz bottle at 5:30pm yesterday and woke up at 4:30am for his bottle this morning (was a bit fussy around 2ish but didnt cry for a bottle went back to sleep) i feel bad that it was 11hours before having another bottle and he didn’t have an wetter nappy as normal Now im worried he might have been dehydrated as his eyes look darker than usual like he’s got mini bags! Obviously i will keep an eye on him and give him milk more regularly throughout the day but i just feel awful 😞

Don’t feel awful. Some babies will sleep through the night with no feed at this age. He would have woken and let you know if he was REALLY hungry and would not have gone back to sleep. I’m Sure he’ll make up for it ! He will be absolutely fine

My LG on 3 occasions has slept 13 hours. I honestly wouldn't worry about it, it was a rare thing though... she's never done it since lol was odd. But she's fine, wouldn't worry about it.

We had this and i made a similar post! I remember someone told me that sleep is also very important for their growth at this stage and that we should not feel guilty if they sleep without waking for a feed. Enjoy the uninterrupted sleep 💕 if he was hungry, he would have woken up crying x

My baby Is a 11 weeks and sleeps through the night an can go between 7-10hrs without a bottle. As long as they r drinking enough through the day it's absolutely fine. They need to sleep as much as they need to eat, if they were that hungry they would have woken u up and u would have known about it. Mine eats a lit during the day and makes up for it. If ur isn't eating that much through the day and isn't eating a night then I would be concerned. But otherwise congratulations I'd say ur baby is learning to sleep through the night, enjoy it x
