Night time sleeping pattern of 7 weeks old

Hi Mummies, I have a question on the night time sleeping pattern of my 7 weeks old baby boy. As the night time starts, I feed the baby and put him to sleep and he sleeps for a stretch of 4 hrs. After that I feed him again and then he sleeps only for 2.5 hrs and will get up and will be hungry again. Is this a normal pattern ? Sleeping for a stretch of 4 hrs once and then getting up every 2.5 hrs? Any mummies who experienced this? Can please share your experience? #firstbaby

yes it’s normal. the body stores more energy before sleep, so he can sleep for that 4hours. this store of energy then gets depleted, that’s why he wakes up when hungry.

yes my baby is about the same pattern too. it was sleepless nights for me and hubby. but it’s just for awhile.

Thanks for replying Lizah. What do you mean ‘just for a while’?
