I put zero for my LO, but that's not to say he doesn't stir and make noise a couple of times.  But he doesn't wake up.

I'm gonna say one a night that I know of.  Usually it's a fuss for a minute go back to sleep kind of thing.  Sometimes she has wandered away from 'Phant and can't find him.      :(  Once I give him back, all is well.

Great idea for a poll Noelle! I put one 'cuz I figure that's his average. Many nights he doesn't wake at all, but once or twice a week he'll wake once or so. Usually paci-related since he tends to get it stuck under his neck.

It's zero for us (knock on wood), although he did wake up once last week with a nightmare, but after being comforted he fell back asleep and slept through after that.

Oh, I know we are lucky. I wish I could offer you some advice on what we did to make him sleep through, but it just happened after a while. He slept through the first time after we got rid of his paci at around 6 months. He didn't start sleeping through the night consistently until he was around 9 months old. Hugs and good luck to you.

Jules wakes up 2 times, she goes to bed by 6:30- 7 at the latest, and wakes anywhere between 11 pm and 2 am, then again at 4:30-5:45 am.  She sometimes sleep til 6:30 and that will be her wake up time when she does.  However if she wakes earlier she'll go back down and get up around 7:15 am ... I like those days   ;)

I put zero b/c that is usually what Ava will do.  This week we had a rough 2 days falling asleep but only woke up once in the night when she finally went to sleep.  Ava is back to normal going to bed around 7:30 or 8:00 depending on how long last feed takes.  I know how lucky I am.  She is such a good baby too!

Drina will get it. Just hang in there and visit us for a whimper at any time.  Mine usually does fine, it's mama that still has insomnia. Bleah!!   Charlotte did not start consistently sleeping through until about 10 months/ 9 months adjusted.  Tonight she woke up and wanted a bottle, then back to bed.  Jules' new photo is adorable!!  But what is she laying in?  Baby hammock?

Jessica usualy wakes up twice a night. We are phasing out the Dream Feed so the wakings should be coming to an end soon! It is almost midnight now and she hasn't peeped yet. It is looking hopeful for tonight!!! Yeah!!

**wow...that is sad that I am on this site at midnight!!! YIKES   :o :o

Oh cr@p!  I'm the only one who voted 3 or more!!!  We have 2 feeds (a DF and one other) and at least one replug on the paci.  We are trying to stretch and dilute the second feed, but just started. 

De we get derailed somewhere along the way?!?  I guess she is only 7.5MO...

Post by: owelley on June 17, 2006, 03:50:40 am
I'm there with you on that other feed besides the df!!
Title: Re: How many times does your lo wake at night??
Post by: Lana on June 17, 2006, 15:56:44 pm
Is she waking to feed?

Have you cut the df yet?  That may help your night wakings.

Technically Bram does not wake at night and hasn't for about a month now.  He always sleeps through the df (which we are in the process of cutting out) and does not eat again until at least 7 in the morning.  If he wakes we don't feed anymore ;D

Casey, at 7.5 you should definitely not need to feed twice in the night. If you want to post or even PM me your routine perhaps I can help, if you want? Same for you Noelle!!!

Post by: lisi's mum on June 17, 2006, 17:21:14 pm
I voted twice, but maybe if I think very leniently it's only once as the second one is around 5.30 which she thinks is morning already and takes some persuading and a good oxytocin-full bf to send her back to sleep. Nah, who am I kidding, it's twice!
Title: Re: How many times does your lo wake at night??
Post by: Isaac's_mom on June 17, 2006, 18:50:22 pm
I voted 0, but that doesn't mean that he never wakes up at night. He started sleeping through at 5.5 months, and occasionally wakes up, but goes back to bed pretty easly. Lately its been because he moves around so much that he ends up at the wrong side of the crib withno covers and he is cold.

Paul usually wakes up once at night, between 1 and 3am, and i just go to his room "re-tuck" him and give him his paci and leave, and then he wakes up usually between 7 and 7:30.
Title: Re: How many times does your lo wake at night??
Post by: evelyn on June 17, 2006, 19:39:42 pm
i put down 3 too! ::) ::) A good night is the wakings for her 2 feeds, but more often than not she wakes around 10.30 aswell, but settles quickly.  She wakes for the day between 6-7am :P

Post by: KellyC on June 17, 2006, 19:40:35 pm
I voted 0 as this is the norm but he does wake sometimes.  Either he puts himself back to sleep quickly or if I have to go to him he's usually pretty easy to re-settle.

Well - I put 0 cause that's where we are right now - occassionally he will fuss around 5:30 but will settle himself and I don't go in.
BUT - we just got there in the last month................up until then it was 2 times and before 6 mo more like 3 times a night.

Post by: Zoey on June 17, 2006, 19:46:34 pm
I voted Zero, because well - because of you all!  Before we got rid of the paci - it was.. hmm, lemme see.... 1 million?  Yes, that's it 1 million - I see that isn't a choice.  Well good thing I found BW then eh?   ;D  He goes down at 7p - has DF at 1030 that he basically sleeps through and sleeps til 7am.  I am a lucky Mommy.

Love,
Zoe

We put our lo (11 weeks) down at 7:30pm and then she usually wakes up once to eat at 4am then sleep until around 6:15-7:00.  I wish it were closer to 7am but I can't complain.  She started needing only one feeding once we stopped the dream feed.  Once in awhile she will wake but puts herself back to sleep (I wish she would do that at nap time).

What?!?  Are you trying to make me insane?!?   ;D  ;D   ;D  That is my biggest fear right now...that I'll never again know a good night of sleep.  But even if she sleeps through, that doesn't guarantee that I won't still want to check on her, will it?  There's just something about a sleeping baby that's precious!
