Hmm maybe 8 months for a couple of nights then teething / colds / whatever then back to square one

PetalMettle · 08/10/2017 08:03

Still doesn’t - he’s 27 months

PebblesFlintstone · 08/10/2017 08:03

DC 1 - 8 weeks
DC2 - 4.5 years!

PetalMettle · 08/10/2017 08:10

@pebbles dc2 must have been a shock to the system!

NellWilsonsWhiteHair · 08/10/2017 08:11

2.5 years.

Ridingthegravytrain · 08/10/2017 08:12

About 18 months and even then it wasn't nightly until about 2.5 yrs

CarlHickbread · 08/10/2017 08:12

DC1 - 8 weeks
DC2 - it’s hit and miss still at 15 months

Prusik · 08/10/2017 08:13

Ds is only nine months at the moment but the past three weeks has slept through about twice a week which is blissful!!

thereareworsethingsicoulddo · 08/10/2017 08:15

As soon as I stopped breastfeeding at 19 months. Wish I’d known sooner!

Cracklesfire · 08/10/2017 08:16

DS slept through or was up only once or twice from a year. Now he's 21 months and maybe up in the night once a week.

Mutiny0nTheBunty · 08/10/2017 08:17

7-8 months I think. It improved hugely once we got proper naps sorted in the daytime

fruityb · 08/10/2017 08:21

Was going 9 till 7 at 10 weeks old. Had an awful four month regression for a couple of weeks and then he was onto long nights and is now twelve hours.

I realise we are incredibly lucky - he’s just always loved his night time sleep.

Napping is a battle however!

Robots1Humans0 · 08/10/2017 08:27

Get about 6 hours out of him now she 2 , every child is different don't compare Smile

HashtagTired · 08/10/2017 08:28

It’s really quite individual isn’t it! So many different responses!

DS1 slept through between twelve and sixteen months, then went back to waking during the night. he's now three and still wakes most nights.
DS2 is 13 months and has been sleeping through since he was 9 months old. Considering how things went with DS1 I'm just praying it'll last!

soundsystem · 08/10/2017 08:35

DC1 11 weeks, from 6.30pm until 6am. All down to the wonderful bedtime routine I implemented, of course.

DC2 is 8.5 months and does 10pm until 5am a couple of times a week, if I'm lucky. Very glad I kept my smugness with DC1 to myself!

ThatsWotSheSaid · 08/10/2017 08:37

Dc1 6 weeks or younger HV wanted us to wake her but was putting on weight so I didn't. She slept for 12 hours a night consistently by about 3 months old!!
Dc2 by 4 months we were getting decent sleep most nights but he is inconsistent and still wakes up a couple of times a week now (he's three).

Waitingonasmile · 08/10/2017 08:41

18 months.

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 08/10/2017 08:47

Broadly speaking,
At 10 months DD slept 18:00 - 05:00
At a year she sleeps 18:30 - 06:00

BendingSpoons · 08/10/2017 08:47

Sleeping 10-12 hours the majority of nights from when we night weaned at 11 months.

Haudyerwheesht · 08/10/2017 08:47

Ds - 3 years old and not reliably

Dd - 5 weeks

CPtart · 08/10/2017 08:49

Around 3-4 months when I stopped bf. Never ever brought them into our bed, ever, very minimal contact after lights out, and wasn't afraid to leave them to protest a bit. Pretty consistently after that tbh unless ill.

thethoughtfox · 08/10/2017 08:52

8 weeks ( that's part of the reason we stopped at one; everyone seems to get one that sleeps and one that doesn't)
