My 15 week old goes to bed between 11pm-12:30am and then wakes up at 5 ish to feed, eats and falls back to sleep until like 8:30. She always looks sleepy around 9pm and I try to get her to sleep but it seems like she gets a second wind and wakes up. What time does your 3.5 month old go to bed for the night?
My DD is just shy of 3 months and goes to bed between 7 and 7:30 and sleeps until between 6:30 and 7:30, so 11-12 hours. I have heard those that are exclusively BF sleep less at night. She is combo right now, but exclusively from the bottle so i know how much she is getting to eat during the day.
I think LOs bedtime is too late. At 3 months, my EBF guy was sleeping more or less from 6:30pm-6:30am with 1 wake up. Then the 4MW hit us and everything crashed and burned.
My Lo goes to bed between 7:30 and 8, and we wake her for the day around 6:30 since we have to get to work early. She wakes up once around 3am for a feeding.
Oh wow thanks for th advice! We just put her to bed when she gets tired and it seems to be around then. Weird! I think I'll try putting her down earlier tonight like 8 or 9. I am a teacher and go back to work in a week.. So I might as well try it out now!
One more question.. My daughter has only ever had breast milk. I breast feed and bottle pump. Is that considers ebf?
Yes. Also with moving up her bedtime, some parents find that moving it up by 10-15 mins increments easier than an hour or two. Every baby is different so you may have to play around until you find what works best. GL!
My LO is 14 weeks and has been sleeping through the night since 10 weeks without waking for a feeding. Right now he goes to bed around 8-9pm and wakes up between 6:30-7am. He naps about 3 times during the day for 1-2 hours each.
My LB is the same as pp, he his 14 weeks has a last feed at 8pm/9pm depending on when he had his first feed. Will the sleep until 7, even then he doesn't want bottle until 8am! All a little too perfect ATM so worried that it will change!
My dd just turned 16 weeks today. She does to bed usually around 8 give or take 30 min in each direction. She sleeps solid till about 8 am. Sometimes I hear her make noise in the middle of the night but I don't get up unless she is screaming. She can almost always put herself back to bed.
Wow, where did you all get these great sleepers?! My ebf 5mo old has woken up 3-4x/night from the get-go. We are nowhere near sleeping through the night. She goes down 7-730 (watching sleepy cues) and gets up for the morning between 630 and 8a w/ 2-3 30-45min naps. You should consider yourselves very lucky. I'm at my wits end. I'm told this is within the wide-realm of "normal" but I sure wish she'd load up on milk before bed and sleep longer. Oh, did I mention she wont take a bottle so I get little help from DH during the night...?! Arrrrgh!
