To ask when your DC started to sleep through

[alfie22]

Probably been done a million times on here, but when did it happen for you?

As a baby I slept through from 6 weeks. My son is the same age now and I feel that we are so far away from that happening.

If he did start "sleeping through" at this age I'd probably panic and wake him up anyway! 🙈

My dd is 2years 3months and just had her 5th night in a row sleeping through.been a regular waker twice a night since born until we've moved her into a proper bed about 2 weeks ago and she seems to be settling! It's amazing how much different I feel even after 5 full night's sleep!!!

6 weeks, although we did a dream feed when we went to bed at 11ish.

Now pregnant with the 2nd, hoping for the same again!

DC1 - a handful of times around a year old. Then not consistently until 3. She’s just turned 4, and most nights she sleeps through.
DC2 - still waiting at 2 and a half. He’s slept through once in his life and that was only because he had an allergic reaction and was pumped full of antihistamines which made him really drowsy!

My earliest sleep througher was 14 months. Still waiting for my youngest of 4 to do it. She’s 2.5

Dc 1 was 6 weeks old
Dc 2 was 19 months old

Both of my girls slept through from 10 weeks old. That was 7pm-7am with dream feed at 10pm. Dropped the dream feed around 4 months old and both sleep 12-13 hours ever since. They're 4 and 1. We were very lucky!

DD was 2. DS is 18 months and still waiting.

DD1 9 weeks or so. DD2 3.5 years, she could spleen for England now though!

8.5 weeks and 13 weeks as in 12 hours plus . But it all went pear shaped age 4 and again at 7 and we ended up with DD needing counselling for nightmares.

My DD has pretty consistently increasing her amount of time asleep from a few weeks until last night at 14 weeks she slept from around 7:30pm to 6 am! She had been waking at 3 for a few weeks now so I have been up since 3 watching her anyway!!

DC1 was 2.5, but thereafter (now 7) has been an incredibly consistent sleeper and only woken at night for very occasional nightmares and wet beds. I think night weaning was a necessary part of getting him to sleep through but it was some months after that that he actually managed it.

DC2 was going 6-8 hours within the first few weeks, but the wheels came off at 4 months and now (14 months) she’s not really close to even doing the 5 hour type of ‘sleeping through’, much less anything better than that. Night weaning is probably on the horizon at some point because I am flagging, but I’m also coping and naturally inclined to bedsharing, night feeding and waiting it out...

DD1 3.5 years.
DD2 15 months
DS is 5 months and has just started sleeping through.

My ds was 5 weeks.

DD1 either 6 or 8 w

DD2 from about 7 mos

DS about last week and he is 16mos

Just before 5 consistently. Even now at 6.5 he still tries to get in my bed several times a week but goes back to sleep himself without help

Mine are 7 and 9. I'll let you know 😂🙈

At 7 months mine started doing 7-6. The months before that he was up for hours and hours at night!

From about 3 months, DS would do 6-7 hour stretches at a time. After starting nursery, at 6 months, he began regularly sleeping through from 8pm - 6am, except for if he is ill. He's about to turn 3 now and does 9pm -7am. Honestly can't get him to go to bed any earlier.

Around 4.

First child slept through at 8m, second child was just before 2nd birthday. I did nothing different, I tend to go with the theory they'll all get there in the end.

My ds is 2 and is still night waking every few hours. Ds2 on the other hand started sleeping through at 12 weeks so depends on child.

6.5 years mokepon? Blimey. Mine was 4.5 years old before he slept through and I thought that was bad enough!

I remember reading in a book, before DS was born, that babies don't start to sleep through until around 6 months, and thinking "OMG however will I get through 6 months of broken sleep". If only!

3.5 years with my first and about 13 months with my 2nd, but that just means usually more nights than not. My now 6 year old still has nights when she wakes (rare but does happen). It’s quite normal for them to go through spells of waking as a toddler so I wouldn’t expect it anytime soon.

Still not at 15 months , don't forget that when people say 'slept through the night ' it can mean very different things .
Sleeping 11pm-5am is very different to 7pm til 7am

Child 1 - 13 months
Child 2 - about 8 years
Child 3 - 4 years and counting.
