Hi all,
This is my first post on here but I am often on reading other posts for reassurance and something keeps niggling me...
What do you class as sleeping through the night?
Some mums netters class it as sleeping for a few hours then waking for a feed and going back down for another few, others class it as a 6 hour stretch,others 8 hours!
I have friends who say their babies 'sleep through' and it's making me feel inferior!
My LO sleeps from 7 until 11.30 when we wake her for a feed-she then goes back down until somewhere between 3 & 5 but has recently gotten into the habit of being wide awake after that feed and singing in her cot! Confused
What are your thoughts?

No, I'd laugh if that person claimed their baby was "sleeping through".

A baby sleeping 6-8 hours is great but if they go to bed at 7pm that still means they are waking you up at 3am!

When my DS started sleeping until 7am, I.e not waking me up from going to bed until morning = SLEEPING THROUGH

6/7 hours is sleeping through though to me as would mean I didn't get worked up. So 11pm-6am would be the time I go to bed and get up for work anyway. So when our eventually slept 9pm-9am it was great but doesn't mean we get anymore sleep ourselves as we still go to bed 11/12pm and have to be up at 6am for work
