3 month old sleeping through

[neuroticnewmum]

My first post on mumsnet!

My soon to be 3 month old (in 2 days) for the past week has started to sleep up to 10 hours on a night. While this has been a haven for me as it now means I'm sleeping too I'm worried he's a bit too young to be sleeping such long stretches without a feed.

He had colic from 2-11 weeks and coincidentally he started to sleep these long stretches as soon as his colic stopped. Is this normal, should I let him sleep through. It doesn't seem right to wake him for a feed if he isn't stirring for one?

New mum here and over thinking everything. Should I just bask in the joy of a no longer colicky baby that is now sleeping through?

Enjoy it!
It may last it may not but my dd started doing this and my HV said it was fine as she was putting on weight etc.
It lasted all of two weeks anyway 😂
Just make sure lots of feeds in the day and keep an eye on weight and general health

Enjoy! My 10 week old is also sleeping through sometimes and I'm enjoying every minute before it changes again!

My health visitor said it was fine as long as they're gaining weight well.

Yep! Enjoy it!

Both my boys have slept through form about 11weeks old. We would put down about 7pm and dreamfeed at 10:30 (they never woke for this!) and they'd sleep until 6-7am. Dream!

However, with both this went a bit haywire at 4 months when they hit the 4month sleep regression. My youngest is 4.5months and we're just coming out of the regression now but he is definitely waking more at night than before - he wakes and chats himself back to sleep. Great as it means he doesn't need us to help him resettle but the chatting does wake me up!

Both mine were sleeping 10/12 hours a night from 10 weeks. Don't disturbe them! Enjoy it.

(Mine continued sleeping through the night).

Make the most of it! My DS slept through from around 8-14 weeks, then the 4 month sleep regression hit and he didn't sleep for longer than two hours at a time until he was 11 months!

Of course it's OK. Leave him to it. Hope he keeps it up for you.

Thank you everybody, the reassurance is lovely. Can't help but overthink everything!

Never considered about the regressions so I'll make the most of it

Thanks again x

My baby is 5 weeks, I wonder if you can help tell me if I need to do anything to help
My baby sleep through eventually? Do I need to do anything or just wait for them to gradually sleep through! Don't want to not be doing something if I'm meant to be

Enjoy it while it lasts, but update us in about 5 weeks time.

My baby's slept through from 3ish months. We have definitely had times where he wakes but for the most part he now sleeps 7-6ish.

Enjoy it and catch back up on your sleep. All 3 of mine were good sleepers. All slept through the night by 9-12 weeks.

I'm a big believer in a child who will sleep through will sleep through and a child who won't, won't and that there isn't very much you can do to change it. In essence what I mean is each child will sleep through when they're ready, for some in takes a few months and others years. I'm sure other mums will disagree with me but just my opinion. Implementing a night time routine like bath book bottle bed and the same time each night will do no harm, it will either work or it won't. I was always put off by the thought of a routine tho because if they become too reliant on the routine to fall asleep what happens on the odd occasion that you can't do the routine, especially on the run up to Christmas, you don't want to make yourself a prisoner in your own home that you HAVE to be home at a certain time to bath the baby otherwise they won't sleep. You'd go stir crazy! Just my opinion
