We all know there are people out there who lie about the wonders of their babies sleeping through the night from day one (or maybe they have magic babies) but I am sick of hearing from my friends and people I know that 'their babies' are sleeping through where as mine is not. I hate the whole competive aspect of being a parent, but I admit I do sometimes fall into that trap. Should my DD be sleeping through too??
She is 7.5 months old. She used to wake A LOT but then we moved her to her room and she does a lot better. Some nights she can wake 3-6 times, but wanting a feed 2 of the times (and the whole bottle..also add she is not even 9kg yet but is healthy and growing just tiny) Some nights, like last night she went down at 7pm, woke at 2am for a feed and then slept again until 8am. I just wish I knew what to expect as each night with DD is different.
When should I expect her to drop night feeds? Yes, I would love the sleep but most of all I would like to know if my DD is normal and not feel inferior that she is not sleeping through.
Any tips on maybe helping her to sleep through would always be helpful too
