Talk to Pediatrician on Sleep Duration

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Female, 25 years old, Lahore

My baby is 2 months 12 days old. She is on bottle feed and takes 3 oz at a time. From a few days she has started to sleep through the night. She sleeps for good 6-7 hours at a stretch without demanding for feed. I have always fed ber on demand. Is it fine to let her sleep this much without waking her up for feed. Her birth weight was 2.6kg and at 2 month checkup she was 4.3 kg I'm worried about weight loss and weakness.

your baby's weight gain is acceptable.
you should be happy that your baby is sleeping for 6-7 hours at night and not bothering you...that also means that she is happy with the feed she is consuming during rest of the day.
