Hey, count your blessings LOL! As long as her " output " is OK, I'd cherish the

extra nap time :) She just may be going through a lull in her growth, and is

getting her nutritional needs met during the day. Don't be surprised if she

starts waking up again in another month or so in time for another growth

spurt. Keep an eye on her output, and your ped will determine if her weight

gain is going OK; if you're concerned, just bring her by your ped's office for

a weigh in.

Good luck!

My second ds slept through the night (around 10 hours) starting at a few

weeks. I never woke him up, he was gaining weight and doing fine. It didn't

last long *G*, at three months he started getting up every 3-4 hours. If

you're using breastfeeding as BC, I've been told that you shouldn't let them

go more than four hours, but otherwise I'm a big believer in letting babies

do what they want. My favorite phrase is " if it ain't broke, don't fix it "

Both of my girls slept through the night (at least 8 hrs) at 4 weeks, and

slept

through the night at 6 weeks. I would not be concerned - just HAPPY!

My four week old has the same schedule too! He just eats a lot during the

day and I try to play with him as much as I can so he sleeps at night. My

18 month old did the same thing and is now a happy healthy 38 lber! I think

its just important that you monitor their diaper count, weight and overall

behavior...and then enjoy your sleep.

My Verity used to sleep through the from 6 weeks to about 4 months old.

<sigh>. Enjoy it while it lasts! She wised up to the fact that it was more fun

to wake up every two hours after that and still wakes frequently at eight

months although we now co-sleep which helps. Seems to be a bit of a pattern

from what I've read. Don't know why though.

Kriss~

started sleeping through the night at 7-8 weeks too, he would sleep 10

hours from that

age until teething set in at about 5 months when he starting the night wakings

again..........

I would not worry too much about it....

Also, my son did sleep alot after my mom visited too, guess they need to catch

up cause

their schedule is a little off when you have company!!

What you can try to do is. Offer to breastfeed her at every chance during the

day so she won't be as hungry at night because she will come to depend on

nursing at night if she gets it all the time and if you want to do it all

night then go ahead but if you wanna get SOME rest try making sure she gets as

much as she can during the day.

Thanks guys! YOu are making me feel better, she obviously is not pooping

as much as she was during her growing spurt, but she is having around6-8

dirty diapers and atleast that in wet diapers. OK will take it as a

good thing. At 7 weeks she weighed 10 lbs 4 oz, so since she left the

hospital at 7 lbs 2 oz and only gained by her two week 6 oz, she was 7

12 when she was born, so I think we are doing fine! Except we wanted to

be awake all night long! lolol

THANKS!

Yep. Karissa started waking again at about 6 mos, and this is the reason that I

have been

given for it. They begin to become so aware of the world during the day that

they don't

get enough good, full nursings in. At night, there is nothing better to do than

wake up

and nurse (by the baby's mind) - I mean, nothing else interesting is happening,

right? And

they end up needing those night feedings to get enough nourishment in a 24 hr

period. I

have really noticed KArissa's daytime nursings diminish in frequency and

duration while she

has definately picked up her night nursing.
