when did you lo sleep through the night for the first time.

[Ahappynewmummy]

I know this is debatable with some people saying from 1-5 is sleeping through the night but my ds was put to bed at about 8ish and is still asleep. he normally wakes up at 4 for a feed. also I normally give him a dream feed about half 10 but the past two nights I've been that tired I've fell asleep before then and he hasn't woken up for one.

so instead of enjoying my unbroken sleep I'm up shocked he has slept all night :O

First time I don't know. Ds1 was regularly sleeping 7 til 7 from around 5 to 6 months. Dd though was around 4 and really she just went from needing us to sort her out when she woke to being independent enough to roll over and go back to sleep. Ds2 I don't know, he has had a few phases of sleeping but none until older, though not quite as bad as dd. He is 4 now and probably sleeps all the way through once or twice a week, other nights he wakes for a cuddle or because his foot or knee hurts (hyper mobility).

I know I should be enjoying it I just can't believe I woke up expecting him to be up haha.

4 yrs and still waiting.

Mine have varied from 10 weeks to 4.5 years. that's for sleeping through regularly, rather than just once.

DS is 15 months.
We stopped his 4am feed (which he woke up for) at 10 months.
We have only just stopped his 11pm feed (which he only sometimes woke up for).
He now sleeps 7-7 and may have done quite a bit earlier but I was too chicken to try. I went back to work when he was 4 months so consistent sleep time is very precious.
Many of his peers who slept through from much earlier are now not so I am pleased that we did what we did.

I was talking to my mum about it and she said I was sleeping through at the same age as my ds but my MIL told me my DP didn't sleep through till he started school. so I'm hoping he's following me xD

Mine from 9 weeks but rearely oven 7 hours and that for about a month, after we had 2 months with really rough nights and after waking once or twice. She is nearly 8 mo now and some nights she sleeps through some doesn't. Even when she sleeps through the night she wakes up around 8 am ,has some milk and then back to sleep for another 2,3 boutsy, she has eczema and allergies so it just depends how she feels. There's no rule for when to sleep through the night though, some babies never do till 2 yo sadly

Or even longer from what I just read

10.5 mo or as I remember it... The day after DP started his shared parental leave and I went back to work.

Ds1 - stopped needing feeding at 8 months, went through the night fully without needing me to go in for some reason or another at about 5!! Ds2, slept through from 13 m - 18m, then we moved and it unsettled him, didn't sleep through the night until 2.5yrs. Dd slept through from 3-4months, then the 4 month growth spurt hit and she didn't sleep through again until 2.5 when we finally got her into a full sized single bed.
There is 3.5 yrs between all 3, at one point I was getting up to each of them each night - I think I'm still recovering now and they are well past the baby stage!
dont focus on when they are going to sleep through, it will send you crazy!

Slept through night at 8 months....once I'd done 'sleep training'

Ds- slept 10pm-6 am at 12 weeks. Then stopped at 7 months and woke up every 90 minutes-2 hours until we sleep trained at 11.5 months, he's 2.4 now and has slept 7.30-6 every night barring illness since.

Dd- slept 10pm-5.30 ish at 6 weeks until around 5 months then the waking crept earlier until it was a night feed. She then dropped that at 7 ish months. She's 9.5 months now and goes to bed at 7.30, dream feed at 10, then she's usually done until 6. However some nights she just won't settle and we bring her in with us.

Embarrassed to admit this, but my LO has slept "through the night" for five hours at a stretch, followed by a quick feed and another 3-5 hour sleep, since he was 2 weeks old. He's gone through a few days where he hasn't done it the 6 week growth spurt was the big one but now, at 9 weeks old, he is pretty consistently sleeping through the night.

Formula fed baby, though. It makes a difference. I intended to breastfeed but it turned out my breasts have a rare condition that makes it so I can get about 1 oz max every 6-8 hours, no matter how much I pumped. I cried over being unable to provide my baby with breastmilk, but I have to say, the sleep benefits of formula are remarkable. Almost remarkable enough to make the stinky diapers worth it.

Formula makes no difference

Still waiting and he is 19 months old

He was co-sleeping untill 2 weeks ago, breastfed till 12 months old.

Oops pressed post by accident

Formula makes no difference normally if bf is going well. In cases where supply is low obviously it will as baby is hungry therefore won't sleep.

I class sleeping through the night as sleeping from when they are put down (7.15 in our house) until a reasonable wakeup time in the morning (earlier than 6am definitely doesn't count). Under these rules DD was 16mo, and now at 22mo manages it a couple of times a week. If you are going by the bollocks 5hr stretch rule then 3.5mo, but it only lasted until the 4mo sleep regression kicked in.

About 13months. Prior to 11months he used to wake every 45mins, every night 😖

DS started regularly sleeping through at 10 months. He was a terrible sleeper the first six months then when he started weaning he started waking only once a night for a feed (was on formula from 8 months)about 4am. We used to dream feed him at 10.30 but when we stopped that he started sleeping through thankfully just in time for me to go back to work . Now he is 14 months and he sleeps from 7.30 till 7 most nights with the odd early morning rising (usually the weekend obviously). He only naps for 1.5 hours most days so is thoroughly worn out by bath time.

The first time for ds was 11 weeks. It didn't happen consistently until 7 months though. At 2.5 he still sleeps pretty well unless ill or teething. Napping, not so much though, there were days even at 8 or 9 months that he took 0 nap and now he just claims he's "a bit too busy thanks!"

Mine were kept in a strict routine from day one.

Bedtime was 6pm, dream feed at 11pm and slept through until 7am
Twin 1 did this at 11 weeks (5 weeks actual)
Twin 2 did this at 14 week (8 weeks actual)

Dream feed dropped at 8 months and they would sleep (often without a single keep) from 6:30pm-7am.

I realise just how lucky we were.

They are almost 4 and still sleep well.

Formula does not help.
Dd is ten weeks old and is a grazer ie she still takes small amount of milk very frequently instead of a 'big meal' all at once.
It'll happen one day though for everyone. Tbh at the moment we are ectastic if we get three hours sleep before the next wake up.
She aLso doesn't just wake for food. She wakes for re settling to.
We average three/four wakes up a night and each takes about one hour to one and a half hours.

Around 3 yo but at nearly 4 we still have the odd week where he wakes every day in the night...then weeks of perfection

Still waiting for this magic "sleeping through" business. DD is almost 6! (yes, that's 6 years)

Roughly, she woke every 20 minutes until she was 1 year old. Every hour until age 2. Every 2 hours until she was 3. Every 3 hours at 4 and every 4 hours at 5 (i.e. this is how often she still wakes).

She will remain an only child!

DD1 About 15 months? She always had a breastfeed around 2ish during the night until she stopped on her own at 14 months.

DD2 is nearly 3 months but no sign which is fair enough wasn't expecting it. We co sleep as she will not sleep alone or at least for no more than 15 minutes- longest she's gone is 5 hours, average about 3 and a half so 3 waking a a night?
