To ask when yours slept through the night?

[blue2014]

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?

DS (13 weeks) wakes around every 2 - 3 hours for a feed. But we bed share so all he has to do is wiggle a bit to wake me up, and all I have to do is wap my boob in his general direction. Then I go back to sleep while he gets on with it. I probably lose about 1 hour's sleep in total between 9-8pm. DH sleeps in the spare room (we only have a double bed).

It'll be nice when DS sleeps through the night, but it's hardly tough at the moment.

Congrats on your baby Blue. I frequently stalked followed the BESH thread - I'm a long-term TTCer but was/am on the Brooking No Argument. I was genuinely thrilled when you got your BFP.

The first one at six weeks, the second at three months and the third at ten weeks. All bottle fed and put outside to sleep in their prams during the day in all weather except snow and fog. I think that helped.

My DS was 11 weeks old (slept 12 hours) my DD was 7/8 months (again 12 hours). Both sleep trained and breastfed up to the age of one.

gincredible, you sleep trained an 11 week old?!

15 months and now generally only wakes for a 4am breastfeed then back to sleep til 7. It's amazing! Almost don't want to tempt fait by typing it!
This only happened at 13months, before that was 2-3hourly waking every night. I tried all the sleep training and we clocked up a lot of screaming time but I was sooo desperate. I think the thing that actually helped in the end was when DC started eating properly rather than just picking.
Good luck, I know it feels like an eternity when you're living it!

Both of them have slept through the night from around 4 days old (12 & 2). Just pure luck.

... I was told when I had my first to wake her through the night for a feed, it was pointless though as she wanted to sleep.

I wasn't told to with the second.

Mine started to at 16 months.

Then at 25 months started waking every night. Teething set it off. Darn teeth!

1st - when I stopped setting an alarm to feed her in the night (about 6 weeks)
2nd - still waiting and she is 3.5 years! (She sometimes sleeps through now but don't want to jinx it!)

Six months - we did gentle sleep training and he stopped waking for feeds at the same time. He still has wobbles sometimes - when he's ill, or if he's unsettled, eg when he moved up a room at nursery. And he still wakes before 6am half the time too.

Erm 15-18 months. Both of them.

Both mine slept 12 hours - 7-7 - from 6 months. DS1 would wake only once in 12 hours for a feed between 4 and 6 months. Both breastfed.

Three. And I tried everything. Mum said 'none of you slept through til you were 3, he'll start doing it then on his own. And he did.

Wish I hadn't bothered with any of the sleep training nonsense, horrible for both of us and didn't flipping work.

4 years old. Both of them.

OTOH, since then they will sleep through anything! Never had to worry about making too much noise since.

7 weeks, the first full 12 hour stretch, I'd hopelessly struggled to bf and switched to formula. It was like magic!

Well both of mine did their first sleep through at about 9 months. But they were one offs! Regular cast iron sleeping through started at 2 for DS and DD has just started a month or so ago (she's 2yrs 3months). Who knows if this is it for her - she's taken longer to show us that there would be light at the end of the tunnel than DS. She's gone from shit sleeper to legend very quickly better not just be a bloody growth spurt!!

At three and four months respectively. I switched to formula, put them down sleepy and left them (unless really upset or unwell), and never ever ever brought them into our bed.

5 years before he slept through hi first night. We didn't sleep train.

Seven months. Once, three nights ago. We've had two horrendous nights since then so I don't hold out much hope haha!
He's weaned himself off bottles (he suddenly won't drink milk, but that's another story) so we just have to rock him for 30 mins then try putting him down again (then inevitably get up again 10 mins later to repeat) ...

His

Just turned 4yo and still very much waiting for some sort of epiphany.

Mine started sleeping from 7weeks old. She kind of put herself and me in a routine of bath, cuddles and bed. If by 7 pm, she is not bathed all she will do is cry until everything is done.

6 weeks for dc1 (7-7) didn't train but did ignore the 5am whinge once at 5 weeks, and she didn't try again.

Second wasn't naturally such a good sleeper so from 6 weeks we worked on self soothing, and from 8 weeks she slept through (again 7-6/7)

DD slept through from 10 weeks with a dream feed at midnight for the first couple of months. She slept 8pm to 6:30/7am most nights although illness, teething pain or the odd random night she did wake up once or twice.

No sleep training or techniques used for us, we were just incredibly lucky to have a baby that liked to sleep. She became harder to put down to sleep at around 18 months until 2 1/2 and we did struggle a bit then. I think that's why I now look back so fondly on the small baby stage as being the best bit.

7 months. Although dd is only 11 months so not sure if you can really say she'll stay like it
