When Did Your LO start sleeping thru the night?
« on: November 28, 2006, 03:22:04 am »
Right now it's hit & miss with my LO waking for a feed at night.  I know a lot of people here seem to say that their LO's were still waking for a feed at 7 months.  I'm just curious as to what the ratio of night sleepers are here & when it started to be a consistant thing?

Thanks

 :D

My lo was sleeping through the night very early, at about 6 weeks or so.  He has only woken up hungry at night once or twice during growth spurts.  I was very surprised because he was a big baby and loved to eat but I have read that because he was big and he ate more he could last longer at night.

How late is his last bottle?  Right before bedtime?

Toby started sleeping through at 10 weeks ( I say sleeping through - from 10pm - 5am) and then right through (12 hours) at about 4 months.
Leo is going 4 hours at night - except during growth spurts (this week!) when he starts off sleeping for 4 hours, the wakes every 2 for a feed.
Are you dream feeding?

Nope DF never, ever worked for me, DS would not take it no matter what I did.  He prefers to work on his own eating schedule.  I tried DFing for months from about 6 weeks of age on & never once did he take it, so I just gave up.  Either he would just keep sleeping & no sucking & milk would just run down his face with slow flow nipples or he would wake up & cry to be put back to bed.  It was much more stressful than it was worth.

His last bottle is right before bed & he's on 3 solid meals a day.  For some reason he likes to feed at night  >:( & no matter what I do I can't get anymore calories into him during the day.

hi,

ds, slept through (6 pm bedtime, 7 am wake up) consistently by 4 mths.

dd, slept through a few weeks earlier, but had a later bedtime.  we spent some time moving her bedtime to 7, but her wake up time was later.

DS slept from 10:30 to 7 am by the time he was 6 weeks old. Bedtime was at 6:30pm, 10:30pm was dream feed. My baby was also big so could last longer at night.

I think there are good sleepers and not!  My DD slept through consistently at 14 weeks.  So, I figured, "I got one to sleep through the night...with the same techniques I can teach #2"...not the case.  DS was 6.5 months before he didn't wake to eat.  Now he sleeps through IF he isn't teething, sick, overtired, etc.

DS didn't sleep through consistently at all until 7.5 mo. Even then it wasn't like he was every single night, but often. He had a night feed until 6.5 mo and then woke habitually for a while after that.  ::)

Almost a year here and she is still waking at night......She was doing good. Around the 9 month mark she would sleep from about 7pm to 7:30 am.Sadly those days are long gone.

Depends what you mean by sleeping through.

Ewan went 10-6 or 7 at 3 months.  Bram didnt go that long until he was 6 months.

You need another category or a more refined definition of sleeping through the night! Our 16 month old still gets us up once a night needing something or other.
