Asking for Self, Female, 28 years old, Karachi
Me baby will be 8 weeks old on this coming Monday inshallah and he weighs 4.7 kgs, is it okay for his age? He sleeps for more than 6 hours at a stretch at night and doesn't wake up for feeding for a good 8 hours.. is it normal? Should I let him sleep or wake him up after 6 hours? He used to wake up for feeding himself when he was 6 weeks.. pediatrician or child specialist, please respond

what was his birth weight? I am assuming he was born big.
His current weight looks very good at 2 months of age.
Although he sleeps for 6-8 hours at night it seems he is feeding well during the day.
If he is gaining weight then let him feed on demand rather than waking him for feeding.
Babies this age usually stay awake at night and take feeds every 3-4 hrs . It is okay if it is otherwise. Monitor weight every month . Keep on milk feeds till baby is 6 months and follow vaccination schedule with your pediatrician. God created diversity, and thats reassuring.

His birth weight was 3.1 kgs Mashaallah
And he was 3.8 kgs at 4 weeks alhamdulillah..
How much should he gain at 12 weeks? Because that's when we're supposed to take him for his vaccines and will.. have him weigh
