Is it ok for a newborn to sleep threw the night?

Question

my daughters 3 weeks old and i think if i didnt wake her she would sleep threw the night is that ok to let her

Answer 1

as long as the baby does not have any health issues, I say never wake a sleeping baby, take advantage of it while it lasts because it may not last.  If she is really hungry she will wake up.

Answer 2

Count your blessings! As long everything else is normal..be happy. Sleep yourself, you need and deserve it i'm sure. I would mention it to your ped. on your next visit, but as long as she doesn't stretch her feedings out too long in between ENJOY girl.  Night-night. xoxo

Answer 3

Yes, let the baby sleep. You want her to sleep through the night. If the baby is hungry she will wake on her own. Congrats!!

Answer 4

Absolutely fine.  I'd say you're lucky in fact.  However if you truly have concerns about your child, especially a newborn, I'd suggest contacting a proffessional rather than looking for advice on Yahho Answers.

Answer 5

sure, let the baby sleep. As long as your doctor didnt advise you to wake her up for feedings, theres nothing wrong with letting the baby sleep.

Answer 6

absolutely, if your baby is sleeping threw  the night then you are one of the lucky ones.

I was also a lucky one my son slept threw  the night since his first night home.

I did get him up to eat around 11pm when I went  to bed and that feed would take him threw the night but he would just stay sleeping and then I would just put him back to bed no diaper change nothing and he still sleeps through the night.

As long as your doctor says your daughter is in good health and everything I would not worry
