5 month old sleeping pattern

4 replies

My 5 month old's sleeping at night is all over place.
I try as much as much possible to stick to the the same routine during the day, but night time can be sleeping all the way through the night, waking up 2 times the next!
He has been slowly transferring from breastfeeding to bottle feeding, so I don't know if this is partly the reason?
Any advice or similar experiences?

This sounds like a dream to me 😂 having a baby sleep through at 5 months can be quite rare!
Surely each night will be different, they may be hungry, cold etc depending?

I think there’s a lot of expectation on little ones to be in a routine, but they’re not robots, I’m sure some nights you wake up and others you don’t?

I guess I am comparing to my first son who slept through from 3 months and was fairly consistent. As our little one is sleeping in the same room as us, when he does wake up he makes rather a lot of noise and so instead of leaving him to get himself back to sleep I feel I have to breastfeed so he doesn't wake everyone up!
You're right, they aren't little robots, I would just like to get some sleep,

That sounds great! Maybe it's the regression as sleep can be all over around that age? I am currently up for the 6th time with my 15 month old Confused

I would count myself lucky with only 2 waking up at that age. My DD only started sleeping through at 17 months.
