When did your EBF baby sleep through the night?

[Onlymydogunderstandsme]

Just wondered when EBF babies tend to go through the night, I'm getting a lot of people telling me it will take a lot longer than FF babies? DS is only 6 weeks old so not expecting him to do it yet but just wondered? Also when do they tend to start to get in to some kind of routine?

my 19 month old still doesn't sleep through the night

DS1 - around 12 months
DS2 - maybe tonight will be the night? He's 15 months.

ds1 somewhere between 5 and 6 months was doing 13 hours a night. Bless that baby.

dd errr, well, erm. Hmmm. is 3 and a half, sometimes sleeps, stopped feeding some time ago.

ds2 is 21 weeks, certainly not there yet. Not as good as his brother was but nowhere near as bad as his sister so there is hope.

DD fed every 2 hours til 10 weeks, then started going 8.30pm ish to 4.30am with a quick feed and back down til any time from 8am to 10am. Then at 16 weeks she hit the 4 month sleep regression and starting waking every 2 hours again - but always for a feed and then straight back down. Then at about 7 months, she started waking and crying and nothing would get her back down. I lost the plot after a couple of months of that and DH started helping a bit, but she didn't actually sleep through til she turned 1 and I night weaned then did a bit of controlled crying 'lite' (I would go in and talk to her and pat her but not pick her up). It took 3 nights then she slept through. I gave up bf completely around the same time as stopping night feeds killed my supply and she lost interest.

9 months for DS 1 (which happened naturally and on his own schedule); 6 months for DD1 (I closed the milk-bar at 11pm and let her yell it out until she decided that yes, actually she could sleep through just fine til 6.30am )

6.5 months. No need for CC, we just dropped the expressed dreamfeed and she woke up around 6.30am.

Dd, 11 months (gave up bf at 8 months)
Ds, 11 months (a week or so after giving up bf)

About 2 years 4 months, consistently, if you're talking 7-7.

From a point somewhere between 18 months and 2 though he would consistently only wake up once or twice and often the final wake up would be the time I'd go to bed anyway. So it wasn't much of a disturbance as I was awake and going upstairs anyway.

Hmm well to get to the first night of sleeping through took many many months. DS2 was four years and one month. He then slept through each night until he was five and has now started waking in the night again

Wow. I'd be happy with 6 hours! My 7 1/2 year old wales lots still. :-(

number one -18 months (FF)

number two - 10 weeks (BF) He fed every 45 mins through the day though

by sleep through I mean about 9pm to 6 am

Hehe, 9 weeks - 12 hours or so, 7.30-7.30 usually since then and he's nearly 8mo now.

I'm cheating cos he is FF

ds2 9 weeks (regressed at 4 months then didn't sleep again til he was 2)
ds3 is 20 months and has never ever ever ever slept through.

can't remember ds1 and dd

DD1 did 10pm-7am at 2 months and we were able to drop the dream feed at 7 months
DD2 was 11.5 months before she slept through

3 years, 10 months.

I'm 31 and I don't sleep through the night

This is a really good website about sleep.

By sleeping through I mean 7-7ish, no wakes, no feeds.

DD1 9 weeks
DD2 11 weeks
DS 13 weeks

I am aware that I seem to have been fairly lucky in this regard. None regressed except DD2 who started waking in the early hours again when she was about 13 months, obviously unrelated to feeding by then though.

I don't think formula makes any difference. I do think a routine does help though, I found all of mine were fairly settled in their feeding and nap routines by about 6 or 7 weeks.

8 weeks. The other NCT girls hated me. He regressed numerous times though. It was not a constant state.

7pm to 6am at 26 weeks, the same week he moved into his own room. He started solids at 23 weeks.

DS started sleeping at night at 8 weeks (he didn't seem to at all before that) and was sleeping from 7pm to 7am with a dream feed about 10 from 12 weeks.

DD slept through reliably by the time she was about 3. She was bf until about 11 months. Two children very different

I just can't imagine what a different experience having a baby would be if everyone was sleeping. I am insanely jealous. I don't really enjoy my baby's first year as such I survive them. . :-( my life revolves around managing on little sleep. Now at nearly 8 months I am a walking zombie. I thought that map fairly normal before this thread. No wonder other mums look more alert at toddler group. The whole parenting experience would be immeasurably different.

DC1 16 months
DC2 16 months
DC3 3 weeks
DC4 Not yet but only one week old ;)

7 weeks (12 hours). Then at 17 weeks he stopped. Those ten weeks were wonderful (except waking every morning with rock-hard & painful boobs). Now 14mo and sleeping through most nights.

Routine - really young, just a few weeks, but he did that himself, I didn't push it (apart from bedtime - fixed bath, story, feed, bed routine) and the routine is always evolving so at first it felt more like a coincidence than a routine.

DS was 3 years. I was a bit lazy and let him develop bad habits. Didn't bother me too much though

Then, unexpectedly, DD slept through from about 6 weeks old (around 8pm to 8am). Didn't expect it to last but she's nearly 8mo now and she's only woken during the night once or twice since march. Long may it continue!

Don't think I've done much differently. It helps that DD settles herself well by sucking her fingers.

DS1 slept through from v early on: probably around 6 weeks. Not sure exactly when but I know I was pumping and had to get up to pump to maintain supply even though he was asleep.
DS 2 is about 3 months and is settling down in terms of being a bit more predictable in his days but nights are still a bit irregular. He does do a 5-5.5 hour stretch most nights so sleeping through (6 hours) should be within reach...
