Wondered if anyone has any advice...
My little boy has been sleeping from 11 til 7-8am since about weeks old. We didnt encourage this, I am feeding on demand and this is the pattern he has settled into. He has about 8 feeds in a day, total breast feeding.
Obviously me and hubby thought this is great as we get to sleep! However today the health visitor told me I should be waking him in the night to make sure my milk doesnt dry up due to not being stimulated for this length of time. My GP and other health visitor have never mentioned this, and just wondered what you guys think!!
He seems to be getting enough now, loads of wet and soiled nappys, and good weight gain. I dont want to spoil his pattern as he seems really happy to sleep that long, but this health visitor has really worried me!!
Thank you! xx
