And did you sleep train?

First DS is 7 weeks so not expecting better sleep just yet but I've become obsessed with the sleep board which terrines me. Is bad sleep the norm or can you give me hope? Grin

Turned 6 last month and we're still waiting, sorry Grin

megletthesecond · 27/01/2017 07:02

12 weeks. It was most peculiar.

His little sister made up for it by being a dreadful sleeper from 2yrs - 7 yrs. She's only just improving now.

ConvincingLiar · 27/01/2017 07:02

8m. No sleep training, but we were sensible ish - dark/white noise/quiet voices etc

LatteTime · 27/01/2017 07:02

DS1 was at 4 weeks, it did mean he missed a feed though.

He was a big baby (11lbs) and is bottle fed.

14 weeks now and still sleeps from 11pm until 8.30am.

Hope you get some sleep soon X

Sandybum · 27/01/2017 07:03

5! Sorry Grin

Sandybum · 27/01/2017 07:05

Oh and we tried all sorts of things (except cry it out) and eventually accepted the he would get there in his own time.

MrsGB2225 · 27/01/2017 07:05

11 hours at 11 months. Now he does 9-10 hours at 2yo. I've never had 12 hours!

PurpleMcPants · 27/01/2017 07:08

10 weeks, 2.5 years and 4 years. Only did sleep training (gradual withdrawal) with the middle one and not till about 10 months old.

Bibblewanda · 27/01/2017 07:08

Just to point out that cry it out is often confused with controlled crying. Cc is completely different.

Full on cry it out where you literally just leave them to scream isn't really done any more.

eurochick · 27/01/2017 07:09

Around 19 months. She went from being a bad sleeper to really living her bed and having to be dragged out of it all of a sudden.

spacefrog35 · 27/01/2017 07:09

Night weaned herself & started sleeping 6pm to 5am at about 16 weeks. I didn't do anything so can take no credit at all Wink

We still have dreadful nights, if she's ill, teething, learning a new skill but a couple of nights reasonable sleep a week have saved my sanity. Oh & we're formula fed too.

ButtMuncher · 27/01/2017 07:11

DS is 4 months old and since 2.5/3 months hasn't required a night feed past 10pm. He now has his bedtime bottle after a bath around 7:30/8 and sleeps through until 7/8am - BUT, he wakes in the night for a dummy/cuddle, just doesn't need a feed. The 4 month sleep regression is starting to creep in alongside teething, so I'm sure it'll all go to shit soon Grin

ButtMuncher · 27/01/2017 07:12

He's bottle fed also, and a hungry baby during the day (usually).

Cakescakescakes · 27/01/2017 07:13

8 months and 14 months.

flumpybear · 27/01/2017 07:15

Oooo I'm convinced it's the luck factor .... first child was 13 weeks and slept 12-13 hours easily every night almost (but did regress for a bit) she's now 8. Second wasover 2 and still, at 4 can wake and come through at night 😩

Velvian · 27/01/2017 07:16

My middle one, just turned 6, has slept through the night a handful of times.Confused.
My 10 week old niece regularly sleeps 11-6

Coldilox · 27/01/2017 07:16

Mine is 2 and a half and not sleeping through. He did, between 20 and 24 months but then a sleep regression hit and we're back to a wake in the night and usually one of us will take him to the spare room. He generally settles, isn't up for long. We have a good bedtime routine but made a conscious decision when he was born that we wouldn't sleep train him.

Last night he slept through for the first time since just before his 2nd birthday. Trying not to get too excitedZ

MiniMaxi · 27/01/2017 07:18

12 weeks corrected (18 weeks actual) - formula fed and cosleeping in a cocoonababy

Still wakes some nights and the 4 month regression is about to hit Smile

Trifleorbust · 27/01/2017 07:20

Nearly 7 weeks now - I can see her starting to sleep in longer stints. Last night she woke up once between 11-6 so not too bad Grin

PastysPrincess · 27/01/2017 07:20

2 years 8 months and still doesn't sleep through. He vastly improved when I fully weaned him at 19 months but I've yet to experience a full nights sleep.

Introvertedbuthappy · 27/01/2017 07:20

DS1 - aged 3 years
DS2 - 9.5 months at the moment and still waiting. Was up every 10-40 mins last night. DH and I will be zombies at work today.

donajimena · 27/01/2017 07:21

Second baby the worlds best sleeper. Ever.
I brought him home from hospital and he slept all evening. Woke at 2am for a feed and went back to sleep until 7. He stopped waking at around 2am at 3 weeks old and was doing 7 - 7 with me giving a dream feed around 11.
First child was an awful sleeper. Didn't even nap in the day. Thank goodness he was the first. It would have been awful had i had a rubbish sleeper second time around

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 27/01/2017 07:21

About 3 months, slept 12 -6 and gradually brought bedtime forward until she was doing about 7-6/7 by 6 months. Breastfed to sleep every night for first year. Didn't do any of the sleep regressions.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 27/01/2017 07:22

The other day - DS is 20 months. He still stirs once or twice each night but we just leave him to it now. It's like he changed his vibe though, previously he needed us to go in, then all of a sudden going in made him more mad. The night I was prepared to sleep train, he slept through, and that's that. Fully prepared for it to change again though, it always does - you think you're in a good routine and then they change things up. 2 year molars will be coming soon.
I've had so many friends say the same though - you're at the end of your tether, and they suddenly get better :)

AlwaysNeverOnTime · 27/01/2017 07:25

I didn't sleep Train and both of mine started sleeping through at about 2.5-3 years old.
