Awake times are about an hour to an hour and a half long (although some are shorter so don’t keep your baby awake if they are showing tired signs).
- Feeds are starting to space out more evenly, and feeds will occur around every 3 to 3 and a half hours (again, if your baby is hungry don’t make them wait for the clock).
- There is a
longer stretch ofsleeping at night. Some babies drop the feed that used to occur at about1am first, and others drop the early morning feed first (the 4-5am feed). But again, if your baby hasn’t started stretching between feeds at night yet, don’t panic. A lot of babies do this all of a sudden and on their own.
