When will my baby sleep through the night

[iru96]

Can I ask when did peoples babies sleep through the night?

Mine is 4 and half months and still wakes up 3 times for a feed and never sleeps more than 3 hrs at a time!

I try feed her more in the day but she's not a big milk fan so she will never drink more than she needs to at that time !

When does it get better..... ???

Are you breastfeeding OP? Mine didn’t sleep through until 7-8 months (didn’t want feeding overnight from about 5 months) , then did an early waking thing for a few months then did longer 8-9 hour stretches from about 10/11 months. Rough approximate guide based on n=2.

23 months, and it's still sporadic. It's also totally normal I'm afraid. I've found ways to cope and am just trying to roll with it although I do struggle at times

Dd was about 6,I think

When she started school.

My first baby slept through for the first time at 11 months and it remained a rare treat til he was 2 1/2
My second has just started occasionally sleeping through at 10 months .

My first slept through from an early age and still rarely wakes even now.

My second is three in November and it's still hit and miss whether he will!

No she's formula fed since a month ago.. on occasions she wakes and doesn't feed during one of them three wake ups!

It's odd because until 3 weeks ago she would wake (not cry), feed and go back to sleep. She now wakes and cries, feeds and it's a lot harder to get back to sleep - not sure if it's the 4 month sleep regression :/

Our oldest didn’t AT ALL until over 2 and a half. She does now at 3, but it’s 50/50. The next one better be better because I am TIRED!

First DS was about 8 or 9 months.

Second DS around 5 months he started sleeping through until 5am… unfortunately he’s now 7 months and has started waking up twice again. And 3 year old is now up all night too 🙈

I know it’s tempting to look forward to when it will happen, but sleep is so variable that it’s best just to try and cope with how it is now. I found it soul destroying when people said “oh it will get better why x/y/z”… and then those things came and went and it still wasn’t better.

Ours were around 5 months and around 6 months to do 7-7 consistently. We did bring in sleep trainers/maternity nannies for both of them around 5 months. Expensive but honestly the very best money we have ever spent. We skipped our annual holiday each time to afford it (I appreciate we are lucky to have the money to holiday/allocate to this instead). I really believe it bought us years of excellent sleep! I have friends who have done the same and feel the same about it being so valuable

Mine is nearly 3 and wakes once or twice; although usually for a drink and then a cuddle and not for longer than 10 minutes each time.

We tried everything but sleep training, which was never for me.

My two were at least 2 years old before they reliably slept through the night most of the time , i.e they went to bed at about 7.30pm and woke up about 6.30/7 am

First was about 8 weeks. We had her in a bit of a routine during the day which meant she’d eaten enough to not be hungry but really I credit it to thumb sucking as she could self soothe. Will be paying the price for that via the orthodontist later though!!

Second was 6 months. He was hungrier and bigger and needed to be on solids. Also, he had a dummy so would stir at ~3am every night looking for us to pop it back in. I don’t think that changed but he did learn to do it himself so at least it stopped disturbing us! And unlike his sister we got rid of it no problem at aged 3 and he has lovely straight teeth.

2ish?

Started about a year, although it was only occasional.
Once it became a bit more reliable, the eldest decided at around 18 months that the day started at 5.30. Nothing got him back to sleep after that. I think random night wakings were preferable. He was probably about 5 before he was reliably sleeping through. DD slept through from about 12 months.

DC1 about 8mo and DC2 nearly 2.5y.

Sorry to say but my daughter still wakes most nights and she is 5! Toilet, a drink, a hug etc.

Tbh I am an adult that wakes at least once a night so I don't expect kids to sleep through!

Occasionally from eight weeks and we did sleep training at five months in time for me going back to work. With DT’s it was the best thing we did.

Sorry but my Ds still wakes at 4 years! Most nights he will wake between 1-4am and join us in our bed though and go back to sleep.

Before 12 months he was a terrible sleeper. Literally woke hourly for most of the first year!

Eldest was an awful sleeper as a baby and then started sleeping through most nights when we moved her to her own room at 7 months.

Youngest was great as a baby and then woke for two hours every night from 18 months to 3 years.

Two year age gap, so all told I'd say eldest was nearly 6 before we got to the point we were going to bed confident we'd be staying in it til morning.

It will get better though, 4.5 months can be a particularly bad phase. Do you think you're in the sleep regression?

19 months

My daughter had a really bad sleep regression around 4 months, total shock to the system as she was a great sleeper before that. Though she still woke up repeatedly to feed, she just went straight back to sleep after and was easily transferred back to cot. 4 months everything went out the window and she didn't resettle easily at all.
That being said, she's 2.5 now and still doesn't sleep through the night but resettles pretty easily.

16 months and counting… eldest was 12 months

First started sleepin through quite early (was bottle fed as BF didn't work out) - DS was breastfed and woke up once a night from 4-10 months when he lost interest in bfing. I was quite lucky, though.

But nothing unusual about your baby's waking pattern at this stage. It might well settle a bit at 6 months and honestly once they get to waking once a night that's pretty cope-able. Best of luck!

My youngest woke every hour straight for 11 months. I still don't know how I survived, it was hideous.
