 Advice differ!

Hi there!

Congratulations to your new baby! And wonderful that he or she sleeps so well!

Unless your baby is a preemie, you shouldn't need to wake him up. I guess (s)he has gained some weight by since birth?

I know the advice by nurses and pediatricians is - or at least was - to wake up a newborn baby after 4 hours. Recently however, this advice is given more seldom unless infant is ill or a preemie (or very small).

In addition, your baby is already 1 month old...! Big boy or girl ;-)

You might want to double-check with your baby's health care provider, but most likley you could just relax and enjoy your baby's great sleeping habits.
