Feeding
Is it ok that my 4 week old can go up to 5 hours without a feed
We stopped waking her for feeds as she is gaining weight but can often go 3-5 hours between feeds.
For reference she is exclusively bottle fed a mix of breast milk and formula and we give her between 4-5 ounces per feed
It’s very rare she’ll wake up or be hungry before 3 hours after the last feed

My girl is 4 weeks, and I don’t wake her anymore. She had a feed at 23.45 and then woke at 5.45 for a feed
I was advised not to go past the 4 hours in the day time still and my little ones nearly 4 weeks. He rarely does anyway and had gained weight but HV and midwifes all say still wake for food in the day.
I let my 5wk old sleep - I don't set alarms or anything and she can go up to 5hrs. However, I don't let it go past 3hrs in the day to make up for that. She also seems a good weight, although I guess we'll find out when the HV comes back

My daughter just woke for a feed (6am) and was last on boob around 1. She's gone past birth weight now so I let her sleep. (ebf) Enjoy the sleep
