Question

Is it okay for my 4 mos old baby to sleep 8 straight hours at night?

Answer 1

Congratulations on having a baby that sleeps at night!

You'll probably notice your baby feeding a little more during the day to make up for it, but it's fine for them to sleep through that early. My son slept through from around 9 weeks, which really helped me get good solid sleep at night (after the first week or so, where I slept so lightly because I kept expecting him to wake!)

Get plenty of rest and enjoy your baby when it's awake!

Answer 2

Yes. Some babies start sleeping through the night earlier than that. My 4 month old son began sleeping that long at about 12 weeks. He usually falls asleep between 9 to 11pm and wakes up somewhere between 6 to 8am.

Answer 3

I'd say so yes! My 14 week old baby has slept through the night since about 6 weeks old. She used to go to sleep about 10pm and wake at 7am but now she is asleep by 7.30pm and sleeps for 11 or 12 hours. It sounds like your little one is starting to get into his/her own little routine!

Answer 4

Yes it is fine. If he/she was hungry he would wake up. I have a 4 month old and she is a terrible sleeper. your lucky.

Answer 5

yes enjoy it now, my son slept for 12hours everynight from 5weeks, until recently (now 9months)...

Answer 6

My baby's 4 months tomorrow, and has been sleeping through the night on and off from 6 weeks, about 8 hours a night.  She's just woken up this morning from an 8 hour sleep.  Two nights ago she slept 10 hours. She's a very healthy little girl, and very contented too.  She just got the message early on that when it was dark, and mummy and daddy were sleeping, it was a good time to sleep to (i.e. not much fun to be had). She only occasionally wakes now for a quick sleepy feed somewhere round 4am, but not often.

Answer 7

You are very Lucky, or You are a very Good parent.

If Your Baby sleeps through the night, then Baby must be pretty content, EH ??

Answer 8

NO! They should be waking up at least once during the night to eat.

Call you DR. and ask him.

Answer 9

It's fine.  All my kids slept through the night very early on, around one month of age.  My pediatrician said to wake them if they went into the 7th hour of not eating.  I think I kept to that with babies #1-#3, but with #4, I let him sleep as long as he wants to and he is healthy, happy and chubby.  Congratulations!

Answer 10

oh yea! they can sleep 1 hour per pound of weight safely. lucky girl :)

my son slept through the night at 2 months (7 hours) and my pedi said i was so lucky and it was healthy!

Answer 11

h**l yeah

don't worry that sounds all good to me
