When do babies start sleeping through the night?

[Humma1995]

My daughter is almost 8 month and has never slept more than 2-3 hours at a time let alone sleep through the night. She wakes up screaming bloody Murder everytime she wakes up and the only way to settle her is to give her the bottle. So my question is at what age did your child drop the night time feeding and sleep at the very least till 6 am without waking up at night even once?

My son was 3 months when he slept through the night

15 months for one, two for the other.

(Years not months). We ended up with that one in our bed once he was a bit bigger!

My son is 18 months old and still wakes at least twice. Some of my friend's children are already sleeping through and some are waking up, so appears to be luck of the draw!

18 months and 6 months. It varies from child to child.

Is she waking for milk? If so try giving her water instead once she realises that's all on offer she will sleep longer. If she waking for cuddles an just what's to be with you try settling in without picking her up just stroke her head. Both of these have worked for me milk switch for ds an head stroke for ds took a couple of nights but it does work

About 2/3 months for all mine. I'm taking 11pm to 7/8am though vs 12 hours.

Dd1 about 20 months.
Dd2 about 2 weeks - bless her.

I think 7 months is very young to not be giving milk during the night too, when they wake for it.

Two years for some, two months for others.

Good luck

All kids are different, my 1st Sept though from 8wks i was one of those annoying parent that thought others just didn't have a good routine in place. Then #2 came along and that bit me in the arse because she didn't sleep through untill around 2. 3& 4 were somewhere between 9-12mths. Hang on in there its not forever even if it seems that way now.

You must be exhausted and sleep depravation is a condition that I think is not taken seriously enough.

My first child was like yours.

At this point you will be at your lowest, all of your reserve energy is gone and you are just running on empty.

I had to go back to work after 6 months to a high pressure job and after a month I was a total mess.

In desperation one night, I put on headphones and watched a film whilst he cried. I knew he was safe and well, but I still worried I had damaged him in some way. As the credits rolled the crying stopped. I crept into his room and he was asleep.

I was still worried about him, but in the morning he had a big smile on his face when he woke up and after that he slept through the night, unless he was ill.

He is now an adult and I still feel it was the hardest thing I have done, even though it only lasted a few hours.

Also, I found blackout blinds taped to the windows and blackout curtain linings to help in keeping my children sleep longer in the summer months.

13 months...when I stopped breast feeding in the night xx

DS1 not reliably until 12 months
Ds2 2.5yo he’s 3.5 now and still an early waker

15mo for my son - he woke every 45 minutes from birth

Who knows with current newborn but I have zero expectations

They are all different, but that doesn’t make it any easier - you have my sympathies

DD slept through consistently from about 8 weeks.

DS is now 4 months and has also slept though since about 9 weeks. He now goes 7.30pm - 8am regularly.

Very grateful to have good sleepers!!

18 months than then consistently a few months later. Not sure what changed to be honest.

Every baby is so different and many babies just change their routine.

My DS is 10 months and has always slept through. From about 2 months the HV said if he isn't waking for the feed. Don't give it to him as he was a good weight.
DS at about 8 months started waking in the night for an hour+ for about two weeks. Didn't want a bottle but I think it was because of his front teeth coming through. He sleeps through again from 7/9 - 5:30/7.
Because I was so used to him sleeping through I was absolutely shattered and my hats go off to people who have babies who wake through the night!

Much improved from 10 months, occasionally sleep through from 15 months, regular from 2 years.

DD is 18 months and does sleep through occasionally but more often than not wakes up just once. Tbh I’m not expecting consistent sleeping through until all her teeth have cut, she’s a late teethed so still has quite a few to come through and it does affect her sleep.

I always laughed at the not waking them for a feed thing. Chance would be a fine thing

12mo, but only after some sleep training. And still not always. Until then he was up every 3hrs. It's absolutely exhausting

We dropped the night time feed at 12 weeks and she's never had one since, she's 10 months old.

My son slept through at 6 weeks, I know I was lucky. I did wonder if there was something wrong with him but he seems ok as an adult.
I decided from the off that I was not going to have a child I had to tiptoe around in my own home for fear of waking him.
I didn't have blackout blinds, his door would stay open and although the house was fairly quiet I sometimes did a bit of hoovering and he'd have been able to hear the tv and what have you.
He seemed to find it reassuring hearing me pottering about and slept very well.

18 months he usually sleeps through maybe one/two nights a week wakes once
