Or sleeping at night for periods of 6 hours +

Just curious.

DC1 started doing about 8 - 6 sometimes when I stopped breastfeeding at 18 months. He's now 27 months and still wakes 2 or 3 nights a week.

DC2 is 15 weeks, in bed from 8 or so intil 6am and still wakes at least twice but often more.

Usually they take it in turns to wake up. And when DC1 wakes in the night he normally sprints out of the room and cries hysterically in the dark and won't be comforted. It's fun at the moment it really is.

2 months 7 'till 7. Woke up for dream feed at 10.
Very, very lucky. Great sleeper now too. I was very strict though, did the GF routine to the letter and it worked like a charm! Smile

DS1 about 9 months, but he was a happy baby, just wakeful and would lie in his cot burbling away at the top of his voice

DS2 - about 5 weeks!! He just loved his sleep (and still does)

8 weeks from 10-5. One of the many reasons we ff!

TeenagersandFurbabies · 08/10/2017 09:18

DS - 3 months, DD 1 - 4 months, DD2 - 4 weeks

BroomstickOfLove · 08/10/2017 09:23

Around two and a half and three years.

Mum2OneTeen · 08/10/2017 09:28

3.5years (sorry)

laurzj82 · 08/10/2017 09:29

About a year

Long stretch from 8mo and sleeping through properly from around 12mo. Currently is nearly two and sleeps about 1930 - 0730 (which is incredible and am crossing everything it stays that way).

Until 7mo he was appalling though. Co-sleeping mostly and waking every 90 mins or so for milk. A combination of reducing BF, him going in his own room and sleep training is what did it for us. Although obviously that wouldn't work for every child.

dantdmistedious · 08/10/2017 09:30

Really reliably about 18 months - they had spurts before that but it never lasted.

53rdWay · 08/10/2017 09:34

6 hours plus - 6 weeks.

Through the night - age 3.

Through the night reliably - nearly 4, still waiting.

QueenJane · 08/10/2017 10:00

Last week! He's 5.5 months old. Slept from 10pm til 6am. Game changer for us was 'in cot settling' rather than picking him up every time he squeaked. He's now self-settling a lot of the time. That's made a HUGE difference.

MrBloomsLeftVeg · 08/10/2017 10:01

Still waiting. She's nearly 6 years old

PrincessPlod · 08/10/2017 10:03

Ds1 6 weeks
Ds2 13 weeks

user1493413286 · 08/10/2017 10:05

From 3 months she slept from 8pm to any time between 3 and 5 (then goes back to sleep) so that’s 7+ hours and if I went to bed at 8pm I’d feel great but it wasn’t really practical.
It regressed for 3 weeks at 4 months to waking up at 1am tho.

MrsPandaBear · 08/10/2017 10:09

Ds was awful until 15 months (at keast 2 to 3 wake ups, could take a couple of hours to gwt him back to sleep). He then started sleeping through occasionally and within about a month was doing so reliably. He's really good now at 2.5 - maybe once every 2 or 2 weeks a bad dream wakes him up. DD at 11 months has been teething foe the last few months and is awful - she hasn't slept through yet.

PastysPrincess · 08/10/2017 10:11

Mine is 3 1/2 and still doesn’t sleep through 😫😴

BumWad · 08/10/2017 10:14

18 months

However at 2.2 and with the last lot of molars coming through it has all gone to pot

Hmm
Hanuman · 08/10/2017 10:19

10 months - we did controlled crying and it worked in 3 nights. We had been convinced that he was genuinely hungry at night but clearly not.

Wait4nothing · 08/10/2017 12:48

I count sleeping through as 10+ hours so about 13/14 months. Most nights she goes just under 12 hours now (age 17 m)
She was probably going a 6 hour stretch at 6 months but it was 7-1 then up at 1 and up again at 4 so not sleeping through at all!

pp2017 · 08/10/2017 13:21

DS was going 6hrs after the last night feed (11pm) pretty much from the day he was born, by 8weeks he was going 8hrs and by 4months we had to "get him up" in the mornings 😳

I miss being on maternity leave and the lying in bed until mid morning 😩😩

CosyPinkBlanket · 08/10/2017 13:37

My 14-month old still isn't sleeping through and I'm hoping to get some advice!!!

LaughingElliot · 08/10/2017 13:52

First child at 9 weeks
Second doesn’t sleep well at all, up & down, wandering around. 10 now lol

eurochick · 08/10/2017 14:10

19 months. I went back to work full time at six months and that year of working with broken nights really knocked me for six. She's three now and I'm starting to feel more like my old self. Sleep deprivation is brutal!
