When did your baby sleep through the night?

[singsong]

Ds is 5 months and wakes at least twice per night. What?s your experiences?

DS started to sleep longer reliably from about 11 or 12 weeks (ie feeding at my bedtime - about 10:30 and waking only once before about 7am).

Started to sleep with no night time waking from about 3 months.

I kept doing a dream feed for ages as I wasn't sure he'd sleep through without it but he probably would have done. It was when I was still breastfeeding more so before 8 months. That was when he'd sleep at least 12 hours straight through.

He started sleeping through consistently when I started giving him water during the day as well as his normal feeds. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I cannot stomach my overwhelming feelings of jealousy, it's polluting my karma

My ds eventually slept through for the first time at 6 months - this didn't last though as he had real problems with teething. Eventually, after trying a modified form of controlleed crying we got him going through at 10 months. He's 2 now and sleeps like an angel - don't they all?

I'm with you CD.
Ds goes to bed at 8, wakes up around 12.30 for a feed, then sleeps till about 7.30/8.00.
This is pretty good but I am asleep at 12.30 so this is still waking in the night in my book.
I suspect that if we fed him at about 10.30 when we're off to bed he might go through, but I'm really reluctant to wake a peacefully sleeping little fella in case he won't go back to sleep.

I live with the fact that mine were always waking up by looking at the fact that they are now little angels when it comes to bed - take themselves off when they are told, read to themselves in peace, no arguments or tantrums.

DD might wake me up at 2am, but when I put her to bed (awake!) at 8, she whinges for 30 seconds and then goes straight off, so I have peaceful evenings.

I'd rather get woken once than put up with hours of hysterics at bedtime a la little angels etc

Quite variable then?

Ds is 18 months and i can count on one hand the amount of times he has slept through.
Dunno what im doing wrong (if any thing)
It seems from these posts tho that allot of it has to do with luck and the child you are sent.
Im ordering a good sleeper next time round.

At approx 10 wks, DS started to sleep 7pm to 6am, waking to feed at 3am. Very occasionally he'll have a midnight feed as well.

I regard this as sleeping through as his feed are only 10 mins and he goes straight back down with no fuss.

At 10 weeks she'd go from about 10pm until about 7am. By 3 months it was 8pm - 7am ish although she'd occasionally wake for a feed around 3amish or so. From about 10 months until 15 months she slept like a dream, then had a horrible patch and did cc. She's 2.3 now and it's hit and miss. She'll do 2 weeks all night then have a few nights in a row in which she's totally insomniac around 3am. Very unpredictable. For the last week she's slept 8pm - 7.30am, then last night she was up from 3.15am - 5.45am (AGH!!!!!!) for no reason I could fathom, then slept until nearly 9am.

I always wondered if it had something to do with the time of day/night they were born. Biorythms & all that.

DS was born at 9pm & at 10 months wakes 1-2 times..

7.30pm - 6am at 9 weeks , hurrah I thought ,until a few weeks later she started waking at 4am for a feed and continued this until 6 months. Since then she has slept from 7.30 pm till 6.30

DS - 9 weeks

DD - 9 months

ds1 - day 3
ds2 - 8 months still waiting - so tired and given up hope of a nights sleep ever

DD at around 6/7 months old. But to us that felt like about 18 years old as we had friends with similar aged babies who slept through from 2 weeks....

ds - 1 year
dd - 16 months

Both would still wake in the night until they were about 2.

It's so lovely now that they are 5 and 7 as for the first time ever I have to wake them up at 7.45

dd 3 years!

ds 4 months

my DS about 11 weeks, we just couldn't wake him for a feed at 10pm so left him to see how long he'd go

Ds started consistently sleeping through (i.e. more often than not) around 10 months. Then I got complacent. He's now 18 months and hasn't slept through for weeks.

Repeat after me: 'It's a phase. It's a phase. It's a phase.'

dd - 10 months ish

ds - 14 months

have said 'It's a phase' more times than I care to remember...and it always is [grin}

ds 6.5 (years that, is not months)
dd about 3 months
