When did your baby sleep through the night?

[singsong]

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

DD now 6.5 yrs was and still is a god-send
slept all night from 5wks old even while teething!!!
DS 11mths old is the complete opposite
and may i add i ordered from the same catalogue!! someone somewhere totally screwed up my order!!!
though i think(says she with fingers and toes crossed) that its teethig pain with him and it'll pass!!!!!!!!!!

Twiglewt - I would do a 10pm dream feed in preference to giving water at 3am, or stick with what you are doing. 5.30pm is too early for a baby to be expected to go till morning (which you hinted anyway). If you are happy doind 3am feed stick with it.

DS1 - can't remember, about 3 months I think - no waking up in the night thereafter but we had problems actually getting him to sleep at bedtime until we tried cc at 5 months.

DS2 - completely different kettle of fish. Is now 10 months and doesn't seem to understand the not waking up in the night bit, although falls asleep at bedtime no probs. Wakes up 2 or 3 times but drops off again as soon as dummy is reinserted. Also doesn't seem to want a long sleep (ie more than about an hour) in the daytime.

DD1 - 10 months
DD2 - 3 months
DS - 3 months
GS - 8 months old, but only 3 months after we got him (so perhaps that counts as 3 months).

Thanks Mears ... have tried dream feeds but they don't make any difference .. she still wakes at 3ish (there is a little habit there)

am happy to keep feeding for the mo (especially after your 'why not' thread .. that really made me feel better)

errrmmmm...

3 yrs old.

but you do get used to it, and MAC undereye concealer is a great help!

DD - 8 weeks

DS slept 10pm til about 6am from being probably a week old and then 7 til 7 by three months (which he still does at 12 months). But he was born ten pounds so was very easy to fill up!

I get a feeling I wont be so lucky with the second though!

Forgot to mention when I fed him at 6am he went back to sleep until 9am! Very civilised!

At 3 months. Coincidentally when she went on to formula

DD1 8 weeks
DD2 8 weeks

Weird!

and I mean 7pm until 8 am. Still don't know how it happened!

ds1 7 mths
ds2 is still waking approx 3x per night on a good night! he is 19 bloody months old!!!

aaaaarrrggghhhh!!!! hate you all!!! For the past 5 years I have not ONCE slept more than 4 hours without getting up (can't say without waking up, cause nowa'days I do it in my sleep) Tried everything!!! The sleepclinic hate me, the health visitor hates me, so does the GP, dietician, pediatrictian, Phoenix Centre, neigbours etc. But I do have a little angel, and a little sunshine that makes up for it during daytime! Only sleepdeprivated people can truly understand how difficult everyday tasks can become, if you're tired...

no 1 ds (now 10) 2.5 yrs - nightmare child
dd now 26 mths was 12 mths unless teething or ill.. but about 80% of the time sleeping through but if she did or does ever wake is dead easy to resettle

Ds started sleeping through 7-7 at about a year.

at a lot of you.

Charlie01 my DS was 9 lb 10 oz so not much lighter and was up several times a night as a littlie. We started claiming he slept through at about 6 months but this was 7.45 to 5.45 (if we were lucky) so does not fit CD's 12hr criteria. Don't think we got 12 hours out of him until he was 3.5 or so and dropped his nap, but got 11-11.5 hours from about 10 or 11 months.

DD has overall been a much better sleeper but she is not yet sleeping through. Last night she did 7.20 to 7.00 but I had to go to her at 3. So that was quite a good night. She is 8 months - think (unless illness/teeth strike which is probably fairly inevitable) we'll have cracked her in the next month or so.

well not last night

dear little fellow woke up at 4 as per bloody usual and hasn't been back to sleep depsite every trick in the book.

It's 6.22 am now and I'm goig to light my first crack pipe in a few minutes

Hey Ho

insomnia and tired mamma are you sure we don't have the same children?

If we're tallking 12 hour uninterrupted... (for what it's worth breastfed too)
DD 2 months
DS 3months 1/2

I know I am lucky... wondering if I should got for a 3rd.... maybe I'd have the child from hell

you would have the child from hell indeed velcorbott, I would personally see to it that you did just out of sheer jealousy

(take it you do have a SOH from your nickname)

what's SOH?

sense of humour
Have you been away Velcrobott or is it just me being vague....? Hello anyway!
