Hello my lb is 4 weeks old, 5weeks on saturday! Atm he is on 4oz every 3-4 hrs. He is also doing this through the night. My friend mentioned upping his feeds in the day so he sleeps longer through the night but just wanted your opions on this please tia! X

I don't think it works....the only thing that gets them to sleep longer through the night is time It seems like ages, but it will come. You could try upping to 5oz and see if he has it, but at 5 weeks he'll still be up a couple of times a night xx

My LO was doing the same at the age, and then all of a sudden started sleeping til 5. I did not change the amount i fed her.

I personally think he might be a bit young for that. Their tummies are so small that most still wake a lot at that time because their stomachs can't hold much. 3-4 hours is actually really good for that age. At 8 weeks mine suddenly jumped to 6 hours during the night, and then it rapidly improved. I do make sure she gets what she needs during the day because if she doesn't she wakes to eat at night, but she is almost 5 months now so she can take larger feedings and go longer between. But I have a feeling he is still a bit young to take larger feedings and go longer.
