12 week old went 11 1/2 hours overnight with no wake up/feed

[Kimbo80]

Hi all

My son is 11 weeks 6 days, he’s on 4 formula feeds of 7oz a day

He was last weighed at his jabs 3 weeks ago and he was 10 pounds 9oz then

We won’t have him weighed until his next jabs next week

He was fed last night at 6pm then went all night until 5.35am without wanting to get up for a nappy change or a feed

I kept waking to check he was breathing as he would normally have a feed around midnight ish and then another around 6am ish

Should I be worried- surely it’s too early to go all night? He’s slept since having that morning feed, I would of thought he had had enough sleep?

Advice please xx

Hey lovely, I think the NCT forum would be a good place for your question 👍xx

Hi my love... don’t quote me on this as I’m not an expert or anything but I’m sure my health visitor said to wake them for a feed or give them a dream feed if they’re sleeping too long at that age. But on a good note hope you had a good night sleep ( albeit we do worry that they’re ok) 😘

Good morning,

I think this question is in wrong forum.

If your worried why not give your HV a call just run it past them.

Unless you notice anything physically wrong I wouldn't worry. My daughter started sleeping through at 2 months old so I had to increase her days feeds to ensure she got enough. Initially we did 5-6 7oz feeds and changed it so her first morning feed and last one before bed was 8oz to ensure she stayed hydrated and fed through the night. She still gained weight and the fact she slept through made us very lucky.

Do you mean his nappy was dry all that time. I just change my sons nappy if wet while he is sleeping. My son doesn't seem to want a breakfast bottle and wants the bottle around midmorning sometimes later but he is really getting into weening now so slightly different . Sometimes he does want a breakfast bottle and sometimes doesn't. I spoke to the health visitor who said as long as they are having lots of dirty wet nappies then it is fine and also still putting on weight. Best to speak to the health visitor.

12 hours is abit long for a feed at that age. But, you can't force them to feed, best to contact health visitor.
