Should a 1.5-month-old baby be woken at night?

A 1.5-month-old (6-week-old) baby usually doesn't need to be woken at night—as long as weight gain is good and baby eats enough during the day. At this age many babies wake every 2-4 hours on their own and communicate their need. However, if baby was born with low weight or doctor gave specific feeding instructions, those must be followed. Waking baby for night feeding may be needed if: jaundice hasn't resolved yet, weight gain isn't as expected, baby is very sleepy and doesn't feed enough during day. If baby wakes on their own, no problem; if baby sleeps 5-6 hours at a stretch and doctor hasn't said otherwise, you can wake for one feeding. But there's no requirement—let sleeping baby sleep. If unsure, discuss with your pediatrician based on your baby's weight.
