When will he sleep

[TheRedSquare]

What age did your little ones go through the night?

And what did you do differently/to help this happen?

They'll do it when they're ready.

My LO was 2 when he started sleeping from 7pm-ish until 8am-ish.

I believe all children are different. I know people who had their children sleep through from 7/8 months...

Around 2 here- about 26 months I think?

I’ve been up for over an hour and 3 times through the night with my 3 years old 😭

6 weeks (but did dream feed - so not awake for that) It's really unpopular on here but I did Gina Ford routine & it totally works if you're prepared to put the effort in. Wait to be flamed.....

From about 9 weeks to 7 months then a few months of bad sleep, then he slept 9 months - 18 months and then he had bad sleep again till about 3.5 years.

Just started at 20 months. Except he now gets up at 4, which doesn't feel much better!

DD1 3.5 years, DD2 15 months, DS 3 months. Did absolutely nothing different!

converseandjeans it works for you and your baby. No flaming, each to their own, but it doesn’t work for everyone.
I have two friends who it absolutely worked for. I have a friends whose baby was having none of it whatsoever and it tipped my friend into depression as her baby wouldn’t do what the book said. I have another few friends who tried it for months and admitted defeat when their baby just wouldn’t follow the routine.

3 months for one and around 15 months for the other (number 2 still isn't consistently a good sleeper but is a lot better now). Did nothing differently so I really do think that it's such an individual thing and there's little you can do.

@converseandjeans I think o have her book actually as ALDI was selling them for £2 so thought what the heck!
Is it a bit like little ones? They charge £38....I don't want to go down the plan route, but if we are still all over the place like we are I may have to.
He is five months tomorrow, and I think the fact we have no routine doesn't help. I really try, but he has other ideas!! All it takes is him to wake early and it throws are day out with nap times and feed times...my mum told me to relax and not stress about exact times as she could see I was getting worked up...but now I find we have no structure at all...and of course routine doesn't work immediately...
We're moving him into his room tonight in the hope it may help, as think we wake him, especially my husbands 5am alarm! I guess there is so much pressure to have the perfect sleeping baby as we now live in a pressured life that everything should be 'perfect'

thered not sure how it would work going from no routine to trying a strict one.
I had no idea what to do with a baby and wanted to know what to do and when so it really suited me.
It's human nature to crave routine - once children are in nursery / pre-school and then reception class they will very much have to follow a routine. So not sure why it's considered a no no for babies.
You might find being in their own room is a big help.
You could start with little routines like bath same time then tea same time and go from there.

@converseandjeans we do bath at same time followed by creams then bottle, but he doesn't always go to sleep after 🙄 I'm sure we will get there as I don't want to put too much pressure on myself as I then get really down

DD at 8 months but I'd started sleeping training her at 7 months. I know people on here have many differing opinions on sleep training but it worked wonders for me.

Our babies must have been born on the same day OP.. 5 months old tomorrow here too
DD has slept from 7-5am since about 8 weeks, no idea how or why. We started a bedtime routine around then and it's just stuck. When she was first born and I was in hospital I had so many drips etc in my arms when I was on my own I could barely hold her so I think she got used to self settling with shusshing and just touch. Heartbreaking at the time that I couldn't always pick her up but it's the only thing I can think of that might have made her how she is. All babies are so different, please don't feel the pressure. Whilst my DD sleeps I couldn't breastfeed and I'm still beating myself up about that... it's tough being a FTM x

You can only parent the baby you have OP, not the hypothetical one that lives in a book.

By all means give a bit of routine a go and see if it works for you both but if it doesn't then it doesn't, you can't force it.

DS1 was having none of any routine that involved being left alone. I did manage to get him to sleep in his cot for naps at about 6 months but he had to go in asleep. He still likes us to stay with him while he goes to sleep but he does now pretty much sleep through.

Do what works for you and good luck!

8 weeks inclusive of late night dream feed around 10/11pm. Took a bit of a reaction to immunizations so slept an awful lot.

Was absolutely nothing I done at all. I dont follow other people just my little one. (personally dont like Gina Fords methods) Every baby is different but it's good to share experiences.

Mines wasnt braggy either as it was horrible; high temp, sleepy, drowsy and took under her fluids for nearly a week and done the same at her 16 week ones.

Eight weeks, although we are in four month regression/teething at the moment so it's a bit more up and down (but still good). Interesting what a PP said about not being able to hold much - my DD had to stay under lights for jaundice for two days so slept in own cot and was only held for feeding and nappy changing. I've often wondered if that made a difference as she's slept happily in her own cot since we came home from hospital.

Mine didn’t till 2.5. There seems to be a huge range in when they sleep through regularly.

My DD is finally going through the night now at 15 months.

It took us a long old time of putting a bedtime routine in place and making sure my DH put her to bed after I had done a bedtime feed. When I try and put her to bed she just smells the milk on me and fights it!

She still gets a bit cross going down but she does stay asleep. We noticed a marked difference when i started feeding her before we did pyjamas, stories, etc so she had disassociated feeding with bedtime sleep.

Ds started sleeping through reliably at 17 weeks and by that I mean 7.30pm-7.30am with a dream feed. Dd is nearly 8 months and still waking between 3 and 7 times a night! The only thing different is dd is breastfed and ds wasn’t after 6 weeks. I like to think it’s not because she’s breastfed and she’s just a bad sleeper but I have a feeling that is the route of the issue!

DD1 slept from 9/10ish till 6/7ish from 11 weeks. No wake-ups, no re-settles, out cold till morning. I can promise you it had sod all to do with anything I did. We were just very lucky.

8 months but he wakes up at 5.30.

Another one here who used Gina Ford (which is hugely unpopular on MN but hey, it worked!) and he slept through 7:40/8pm until 6-7am. Dream feed at 11pm but he was asleep for that. He's almost 3 and he's still sleeping through from 7pm-8am. Very lucky!

Meant to say he slept through from 7/8wks
