Is your LO sleeping through the night?

[fignewt]

I know our babies are all different ages, but where are we with STTN?

[zombiesquad]

We are improving. Last night D was up once at 3:30 and then woke up at a quarter to 7. With his weight gain, I'm thinking I can start weaning him off the nighttime feedings in another month or so and then get a night of uninterrupted sleep. I think I did the same when E was about 4 or 5 months and it was glorious. But I'll discuss with his pediatrician at his 4-month appointment.

[carissa325]

We are down to one wake-up but the time is inconsistent. She goes down around 8:30 then up somewhere between 2-4 and back up for the day between 6-7.

[michelleca]

Last night DD slept 10pm to 8am, ate for a few minutes, then slept till after 10. She has been an amazing sleeper. DS, almost 3, still wakes up pretty regularly..

[ltlbandito]

She usually sleeps for at least 6. Occasionally she'll go longer. Then get another 2 to 4 hour stretch before we're up.

[halfahippy]

She usually sleeps 9-3ish then 3:30-between 6 and 7. We've gotten a few 9-5 nights. Last night sucked though. So tired today.

[minae01]

DD will sleep from about 9-4am and then 5-8am. I am so lucky that she is such a great sleeper!

[peachesncream]

Work basically forced me to put her on a schedule but it wound up being beautiful because she goes down at 8 and her sister goes down at 7:30 so I have kid-free time at night!! She usually wakes once to eat and goes right back to sleep. It is amazeballs. Big sister was not like this at all so I feel very lucky.

[readinglove]

J usually is down between 8:30 and 9, and will typically sleep until between 4 and 5, eat, then sleep until 8 or so. A couple of times he's woken up around 2:30, but then would sleep until 8 or so after eating.

This is where we're at too. V will STTN but DS will get up MOTN for whatever reason and it drives me up the wall!

I really hope she stays this good of a sleeper to make up for him :/

[adorebel]

Pretty much what everyone else is saying. She goes down around 7 or 8, we are down to one night feeding between 3 and 4 am, after which she sleeps again until 8. Then she naps at least 4 hours during the day, spread over 3-4 naps.

[sunshineshades]

I think E is on the young end here. She goes to sleep between 7-8. I feed her when I go to bed at 10. She then sleeps until around 2-3 most nights and then up again between 5-6. Last night she was up at 3 and then 6:45.

[megrae12]

We used to have one wake up at around 330. Now, we are up every two hours. I cry a little inside every time he gets up.

[paloslee]

Max goes down at 8:30-9pm and he's up between 5-6am. He'll stay up for about an hour then hes out from 7-8:30-9am.

We're close to this now at 9 weeks.  LO goes down around 8:30-9, is up around 2 and then is up at 5:30. I can usually get him back down around 6:30 - 9.  He's just at 10.3 lbs now so I'm praying that first stretch gets a bit longer as he gains more weight. 

[sctiger]

She goes down around 9 (I think she's close to moving it to 8 though) and wakes up around 2 to eat, and then is back down until 7 or 8. Mornings are hard because sometimes I need to get her up to take big sister to preschool. I think it will work itself out when she moves bedtime up earlier.

I wouldn't count on it in relation to his weight. E weighs like 14 lbs and she's 9 weeks and a bit. I'm not sure I believe the whole weight has anything to do with how they sleep. It's more just baby to baby. He'll likely stretch out sleep just as he gets older.

This is us exactly.

However, last night she did 9-7. Wut. My boys woke up around the same time and I didn't wake up to pee. I slept 8 straight hours for the first time in years.

[xxkimmy8xx]

For all you guys that get a 6-8 hr stretch.. when did this start? Tell me 10 weeks bc that's next week for us.

For J, it was the week before Mother's Day. He was 7ish weeks, which completely shocked me.

That had to have been glorious!

[jewel441]

My LO is 13 weeks and still up 3 times most nights. Sometimes only twice. She goes down around 7-730 and then does 4.5-5.5 lately. And then 2-2.5 hrs after that and then again some or sometimes shorter. Up for the day around 6. She is only up to eat quickly and goes right back down though. Total awake time is less than 10 minutes usually.

We were getting 7 hours at the 4-5 week mark. I realize this isn't typical of most babies though. Definitely not with my boys.

[DanaScullyX]

M is 16 weeks today and a terrible sleeper. You all make me cry more than I already do.

[DanaScullyX]

Plus we have to wake up at 6 am to give her medicine, so there are days she eats at 430 or 5 and it totally sucks.

Don't feel bad. W has majorly regressed to waking every two hours. He did a long stretch last night, but I'm wondering if it's an anomoly. How is your sweet girl?

[songbirdsinging55]

Somehow she started to last week. I called the pediatrician freaking out because I had missed my alarm and she had not woken up to nurse. The pediatrician said not to worry and ro enjoy the rest while I can. It's strange because with Isaac, I had to change his circadian rythym by staying up 2 days in a row. She is up most of the day and out all night. Their bedtimes overlap a little so I get some time with just DH at night.

[lindy04aggie]

I'm not going to do the poll yet, because last night was the FIRST night that they slept through the night! We'll see if that continues...

I have been waiting for this for YEARS. Even when my kids both STTN, I'm still up so much myself. I need to learn how to sleep through the night myself.. 

[SheilaTheTank]

Nope. Not anymore. Ever since her damn hands came out of the sack she's waking up 4-5x a night. Going to lose my fucking mind.

Oh and she's not really napping at daycare either because it's too much to see and do.

I am going to be absolutely boned when I start work on Monday.
