Sleeping for 15.5 hours now, should I wake her?

[natural_momma]

My 4mo DD has been asleep since 8pm last night. She usually sleeps 11-12 hours. I've checked on her, she seems fine--she doesn't have a fever or anything. She wiggles around a little when I feel her skin, and goes back to sleep. We have a bug going around our house so I'm thinking she's getting extra sleep to fight it off? Or should I wake her up? Who would have thought I'd ever have THIS problem Thanks for any advice!

Nooooooooo! Cardinal rule: Never wake them!

Seriously, as long as you think she seems fine and is just getting rest because she needs it, I wouldn't wake her unless you have to.

Are you pumping? I'd highly recommend it.

I would also recommend calling your ped and asking them. Personally, I would probably wake her, since this is not normal.

I'd wake her. That seems excessive to me, she needs to nurse.

I agree

Thank you all, she just woke up. She seems ok, maybe a little under the weather. Luckily what we've all had hasn't been a big deal so hopefully not for her either.

And yes I was pumping one side at a time (so she wouldn't be mad if she woke up :-) ) every couple of hours.

Thanks again and have a nice day w/your littles!
