OH BOLLOX, am i making the same sleep mistakes again? i will throw myself under a bus if i am..

[nananaps]

DS slept through the night aged 5. He was at school.

My new baby is 4 months old.
According to baby centre, he shuld be sleeping through. He isnt.

He is breastfed, needs 2-4 feeds through the night. Tends to wake for the day at 5.45 each morning.
Naps, does not sleep in the day.

HV says to expect a full night when weaning from 6 months.

I literally CANT go through the sleep torture again.

Is my boy not going to sleep like DS1?

I agree can you work on the naps? Two hours max after waking he should be ready to sleep. I would do anything you can.

Fwiw ds is 5.5 months and wakes at least three times a night to feed. They're still young I find it better to have a plan....keep going as we are until fully weaned. If still waking more than twice consider some gentle sleep training ie seeing if he will settle without being fed etc. Tgats my plan anyway

hmm see thats what i thought..normal. But a friend recommended babycentre so i had a look.

naps every 2-3 hours as you say, sleeps for 20-30 minutes thats all, usually during a feed.

We have a loose bedtime routine, he then sleeps for a block of 5-6 hours which i think is fantastic. Last night he went down at 9, woke at 2 then 5.45...again, fanastic!

BLAHHHH to bloody babycentre!

I'm of all your sleep!! Last night ds went down at 6:45 woke at 11 (amazing!) 1:30, 4 and up at 7 (again amazing!).

Ds's naps are hit and miss especially as he will only sleep on his tummy even in his pushchair

I think it's easier to get a nap routine going once they're weaning and having regular meals

I know spottyteacakes i am myself as ds1 woke hourly till he was well over 1. I fully expected the same this time round.

Little dude is doing really well...which of course means that i feel great as i go to bed when he does, anything from 8-10pm. I get a solid 5-6 undisturbed sleep which is fantastic.

During growth spurts, he will need feeding every 2-2.5 hours day & night.

Ds and dd have both been asleep for ninety minutes will pay for it tonight with dd though.

Your ds2 already seems to be a batter sleeper than ds1 though so I'm sure you be fine.

(Also I think baby centre is American where most babies are ff? I could be wrong, no judging )
