Our first two children DD1 and DS did not sleep through the night ever until they were around 20 months and still wake up at times now (aged 4 and 2 years old) I assume this is the normal pattern to be up numerous times at night and certainly what I expect in a baby.
However our third child, one month old DD2 sleeps a lot more than I ever expected. Since week two, she has only got up once for one night feed and last night she slept through 10pm to after 7.30am (i.e. still asleep at the moment) ! She sleeps a lot during the day and often sleeps through both school runs which is a blessing.
Maybe I am misremembering when babies wake up properly, with my first two I am sure I was up many times at night at this stage.
Not that I am getting much sleep as 2 year old DS has regressed since DD2's arrival and he is getting up all night instead
I guess I am concerned whether DD2 is getting enough milk. She isn't awake enough to feed that often or that long. She doesn't feed hardly ever either, hours between each feeds (unheard of with my previous children)
On the other hand she is so cuddly and just starting to smile properly...awwww. She regained her birth weight fine, but I have been unable to get to a clinic to check her weight again. Due to SPD hips and no car.
We breastfeed and co-sleep and she spends all night wriggling over to bury her face into my chest. I gently move her away slightly and onto her back and still fast asleep she scoots straight back again, my little heat seeking missile.
I just expect a new baby to be up at night, be awake for a good part of the day and want feeding all the time, am I wrong ?
