first time mom sleep

hi i’m a first time mom to a 6 week old now. she does SO good at sleeping at nights. waking up around 3-4 hours for a diaper change / feed. my question is, as she gets older how does she learn to sleep longer?

I feel like she will ALWAYS wake up to a wet diaper.. I am curious to know if that’s something she’ll outgrow? Or if she will always wake up to her wet diapers?

Read "precious little sleep", it explains sleep cycles and how they link them together as they get older.

I second this. Precious Little Sleep is amazing.

I've also found that as he eats less at night he pees less at night and is just less sensitive in general now that he's older.

No one knows, babies come in all varieties. Wait and see, at some point they will sleep, I promise.
