4 sorry!

welshweasel · 15/05/2021 18:24

1st baby at 10 weeks, 2nd baby at 7.5 months after sleep training.

Branleuse · 15/05/2021 18:26

dc1 was 3yrs, and the other 2 I think were around 11 months

Lou573 · 15/05/2021 18:27

5 years. Still waiting for the 18 month old to.

rooarsome · 15/05/2021 18:28

DD and DS1 about 9/10 weeks (ff)
DS2 about 16 weeks (combi fed)

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 15/05/2021 18:31

One at three months, one at three years.

It is hell, and you have my sympathies.

@IDontDrinkTea

She woke hourly until she was one. After about 18 months she started sleeping through, although would be awake ready to start the day at 4:30am….
Oh goodness how did you manage? My baby is starting to do the same at 4 months.

11 months. We then had a year of great bedtimes - bath, bottle, stories then put down drowsy in cot. We moved house when she was two and it all went downhill. It's been pretty up and down since then, especially after stopping night nappies but improving since 6.5

Onceuponatime1818 · 15/05/2021 18:34

About 23 months

Second is 28 months and ermmm not going too well

Dogsandbabies · 15/05/2021 18:34

Baby one: 3 years old 😬
Baby two: 7 months ( I sleep trained! )
Baby three: we shall see. I am definitely planning to sleep train around 7/8months.

I used the gentle sleep training method and although it took some effort it worked really well.

Witchgonebad · 15/05/2021 18:36

Both slept through at around 6weeks.
Breastfed, in Moses basket next to us till 3 months, then moved to cot in own room.

Obviously had the odd sleepless night after that, generally easy.
I consider myself very lucky and won’t be risking having another! Grin

Swimtastic · 15/05/2021 18:36

8 months or so with both DDs. Both EBF till 6 months (if that makes any difference!).

ValancyRedfern · 15/05/2021 18:36

About 15 months I think.

I'm 42 and havent to my knowledge ever slept through the night...

MaryBoBary · 15/05/2021 18:37

From 6 weeks for about 3 nights per week sleeping 8 hours. From 3 months he was sleeping for 10-11! Would be worrying when I woke up and realised he hadn't woken all night. I'd have a panic until I checked he was ok!

MaryBoBary · 15/05/2021 18:37

Mine was formula fed too.

nicenicenice · 15/05/2021 18:38

My 10 year old came into our bed last night. Seriously though I would say it went in phases depending on what was going on (teeth, starting school etc) probably by 2 it was fairly settled... but if we ever went away they never slept!

Rover83 · 15/05/2021 18:39

Baby 1 - 5.5yrs and still probably comes in my bed once a fortnight
Baby 2 - 3.5yrs only comes through if she wets the bed
Baby 3 - slept 6-6 from 3.5 months, he possibly would have done it earlier but he was a prem so I woke him at night to feed

cloudcett · 15/05/2021 18:42

Dd1 around 14 months
Dd2 around 3 years

zzzebra · 15/05/2021 18:43

DC is 18months and has just started occasionally sleeping through. Never more than 1-2 nights a week though.

Sunshine1235 · 15/05/2021 18:43

-1st woke hourly/2 hourly until he was 1, 4 now and still wakes up once in the night

  • 2nd woke every 2/3hours until he was 1 then slept through the night and never had a problem since

3rd - slept through the night at 8 weeks, started waking every few hours at 4 months and now wakes once or twice a night (8 months)

They’re all different, that’s the only thing I’ve learnt about baby sleep

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 15/05/2021 18:43

With a dream feed at 11

Dd1 5 weeks
Ds 8 weeks
Dd2 10 weeks

I dropped the dream feed once they were weaned and they slept 7 to 7.

SwearytheFairy · 15/05/2021 18:44

Just before 3rd birthday

YukoandHiro · 15/05/2021 18:45

About 18 months, but not reliably til about 2.5

EssentialHummus · 15/05/2021 18:49

For one delightful week at three months, then we sleep trained at seven months.

21Flora · 15/05/2021 18:52

10 months, she sleeps 6-6.30. I keep trying to push it back but if we go even a few minutes past 6 she’s inconsolable!
