1 Answer

A. Yes, it is okay if your 2-month-old baby sleeps for a stretch of 5 hours at night after feeding. By this age, most babies start to develop their own sleep patterns, and some may begin sleeping longer stretches at night. Sleeping for 5 hours at a stretch is perfectly acceptable and actually quite good for a 2-month-old baby. At this age, it's important to ensure that your baby is getting enough milk during the day to grow and develop properly. If your baby is sleeping longer stretches at night, it's still important to stick to a regular feeding schedule during the day and offer plenty of milk to ensure they are well-nourished. It's also important to keep in mind that every baby is different and may have different sleeping patterns. Some babies may sleep for longer stretches, while others may need to be fed more frequently during the night. As long as your baby is healthy and gaining weight appropriately, there's no need to worry.
