Most babies are able to sleep through the night – or sleep for at least six hours without waking up to eat – sometime between 3 to 6 months of age. Healthy babies who are born full-term are generally able to sleep through the night without a feeding starting at 3 months of age or when they weigh 12 to 13 pounds. Between the age of 2 to 3 months old, healthy babies are often able to sleep for six hours without feeding. If your baby hasn't yet surpassed their birth weight, or if they were premature or aren't growing as expected, you do need to rouse them to eat anytime they sleep for more than four hours straight. Newborns generally sleep for two to three hours before waking to eat, day and night. If your baby does sleep for a stretch of more than four hours during this period, wake them to eat. After the first couple of weeks, when babies surpass their birth weight, most healthy babies don't need to be woken to eat as long as they're growing and feeding well.

Newborn babies should breastfeed 8–12 times per day for about the first month. Newborns should not go more than about 4 hours without feeding, even overnight. As newborns get older, they'll nurse less often, and may have a more predictable schedule. Some might feed every 90 minutes, whereas others might go 2–3 hours between feedings. By the time your baby is 1–2 months old, he or she probably will nurse 7–9 times a day. In the first few weeks of life, breastfeeding should be on demand, which is about every 1-1/2 to 3 hours. Soon enough, your baby will go longer between feedings.
