Angie slept for almost six hours last night. She is almost five weeks. Is it a good thing that she is starting to sleep longer? Or should I be concerned because she skipped a feeding while in a growth spirt? Opinions anyone.

Never wake a sleeping baby!!!! Don't worry about the feeding. She will make up for it during the day. Congratulations on your first "full nights" sleep. Here's hoping for another one tonight. -
they will wake up when they need something! enjoy the sleep!!! doc told us not wake them up.. it's just her time for a good sleeping patern. if she had a fever then MAYBE a SLIGHT concern. every three months since the day he was born (now 7 yrs) eats like a horse and sleeps in or goes to bed early, he puts on a pound and shoots up an inch. but i would just bask in the luck of a sleeping baby and have a glass of wine to celebrate;lol.

My dd is going to be 3 weeks tomorrow. She already has one time at night where she sleeps 5 hours. Her dr said its normal. -
That sounds wonderful. I happen to have a bottle in the fridge that a customer got me for Christmas!

Yah be happy you can get a littlemore sleep. at 8 weeks my bug started sleeping 6 hours. 10pm - 4am
now at 5 months she is sleeping 930/10pm - 630am when I wake her to have a bottle as i get ready for work.

I agree--never wake a sleeping baby. No worries at all...she will wake when her body tells her to eat too.

^Just to add, sleeping is an important part of growth spurts too

I agree

Congrats!!! Go with it!
Lizzy started small like that and was sleeping through the night by 4 months old. Now at 19 months she regularly sleeps soundly for 11 hours. And this mama is grateful for it!
i didn't do that with my birth children. I did the family bed thing. None of my three birth babies ever slept through the night until they were three yrs old. They were 12 and 18 months apart so I was one tired mama for many years!
enjoy it!

I think the next question is... How did she do last night? :)
