Last night, my four-month-old had a feed at 6.45 then fell asleep at 9, didn't want any of her last feed for the day (when we tried at 9/10ish) then didn't wake until 8am. I would usually get her up at 7 but somehow, I slept in.
I realise how lucky I am that she sleeps through and for this long. But am genuinely worried this is too long for her to be without her milk? She's very lively now, screaming with delight and playing and seems fine. But my concern is the length of time without a feed plus sometimes, as a result of refusing a later feed, she only gets 5 bottles of 6oz (180ml).
My OH just thinks she takes after me: sleeps lots and can sometimes go through times where I don't eat loads (trust me, at the moment, it's more sleep less and eat LOADS ;-) He also said as adults, we can go that long without eating so she's just maturing as her tummy gets bigger at 4 months.
I'd appreciate your views (and yes, again, know how lucky I am, not a gloating thread though, am genuinely worried)!
