on average, how many times are you up each night?

laruasue · March 2012

We're up about 3 times a night, nursing each time.

Seems ridiculous, who's with me??

Caseyk1127 · March 2012

It depends really. DS doesn't drink anymore at night but can wake up anywhere from 1-10 times for a pacifer mostly or a cough but sometimes its just tiny little melt downs. Usually he's back asleep in seconds.

iteachk · March 2012

10-12

Three sounds heavenly!

laruasue · March 2012

10-12 each night? Oh I'm so sorry :-( I hope this is a quick phase for you!

Glad I'm not the only one Wink

Normally, none. DD is teething now though, and we have been up 2-4 times a night to soothe her.

Amitchell0626 · March 2012

0-1. Her eatting has been really random during the day lately so if she doesn't eat well during the day she'll wake up at some point during the night.

jmo866 · March 2012

0-2, but we sleep trained, and no night feedings.

Mylittlebee20 · March 2012

None, DD STTN.

Same.

bluejetta · March 2012

Average is 2 times. Some nights three (counting 5am as one of them as that just isn't a civilized hour to start the day) and on a really good night once.

ETA - these are all to eat. DD rarely wakes otherwise.

clineak · March 2012

About a month ago, we were still at 2 times/night. I knew DD wasn't really hungry, so I played a little trick on her during the first wake-up: I gave her a bottle (I normally EBF) with water in it. It took two nights, but she quit waking up that first time. Now, she's typically up once, between 3 and 4, to eat, and goes back to sleep until 7 or 8. This week has been the exception, as she's getting her two front teeth on top and is up every 2ish hours. Help me, Lord!

homediva · March 2012

Too many to count!

melissa0726 · March 2012

0-1, every once in a while she wakes up a 2nd time for what we're guessing are teething pains. Don't know how you ladies who are still getting up 3 or more times a night are doing it! For us, more sleeping did coincide with when we started solids. We're up to three meals a day so that seems to be helping satiate her so she sleeps longer at night.

livalil319 · March 2012

Too many to count if I try to keep her in her crib. She usually ends up with me around 11 or 12. We have partially sleep trained. She goes down on her own for naps and night but we haven't overnight sleep trained since she was sick last month. Planning to redo that at the end of this month. She'll be 7 months then.

camedowncrushing · March 2012

2-3, and we are feeding each time.

Jelliebean1982 · March 2012

Between 4-6 most nights. It suuuuuuuuuuucks but I don't want to night wean for fear of what it'll do to my supply/nursing relationship. I can't wait until summer when school is out so we can night wean!

DawnJM25 · March 2012

We are still all over the place. For a week I'll think she's doing great only waking up once or twice, but then last night she was up 4-5 times. She had her 6 month shots on Monday and didn't eat well all day, and she's also teething. I'm reading Ferber right now.

katie4253 · March 2012

1-7. Usually 3-4. 1 is rare.

rab41380 · March 2012

he was doing better and only getting up 1x, but then last week he wakes to eat 2x, but always goes back to bed. Usually gets up between 1030-12am, and then again at 230am, and then he will wake up at 530am...I dont give him a bottle at this time, instead he just gets to come back in bed with us and falls back asleep for another hour. I am really hoping he drops one of these feedings...

Sacagawea · March 2012

Twice, EBF

LyndseyLC · March 2012

at least 3 times. she is still in our room and I just dont even keep track of what time and how often I get up with her.

sheryn2 · March 2012

1-3, was 3 EBF up until last week; now 0-1 comfort (around midnight) with 1-2 EBF (3-6am), hoping for 1 ... I don't know that I could handle 0 from 8pm to 8am yet. ;-)

superchixor · March 2012

none. She SSTN. She stopped eating through the night around 3 months old.

luvmyducks · March 2012

She wakes up usually between 7-8hrs, nurses and then goes right back to sleep for about 3-3.5 more hours. So once. This just started in the last few weeks though. Before that I was up with her 2-3x nursing each time.

genekelly · March 2012

When DS is not sick, it is b/w 2-3 times a night and he nurses both times. I'm wondering if he's getting ready to drop one of those feedings though. He's not eating all that much during the day, only ~16 oz and doesn't really nurse after I get home until just before bed. So I figure if he eats 3 times(at bed and then 2x a night) after I get home at ~3 oz each time, then his daily intake is ~25 oz. Do you know how much LO is taking in during the day?

JenLynn09 · March 2012

0-1 and hoping to keep it that way

aliska · March 2012

We're at 3 as well...and that is a big improvement from a month ago (5-6 and staying awake for 1-2 hours...ugh). I just started reading the No Cry Sleep Solution last night. I would LOVE to get down to 1-2.

JeanLouiseFinch · March 2012

1-2. DS is no longer eating at night, but he still cries for the pacifier.

sjuncfan · March 2012

Usually 2. DS was STTN from 4-6 months. Within the last week he started waking up twice. I'm hoping it's just a phase. He started daycare recently, was eating basically nothing during the day as he got used to it (I EBF and he's not crazy about the bottle). I think he's hitting the 6 month GS and possibly teething so between that and starting daycare I'm not surprised he's up at night... but I hope he goes back to STTN soon!!!!

A-Team 9/29 · March 2012

Wish I could say I was with you at 3x, but we're still up 5-7x. Nursing each time.

And I do not understand how any of you waking so many times are functioning.... it would be unacceptable to me to have my kid waking multiple times a night on a regular basis at this age- we would be seeing a sleep specialist. 10 times a night? No one is sleeping at all. What is the point of nighttime? What are you doing to remedy the situation? It cannot be good for you or your baby to be awake so much during the night. Sleep as just as important as food or play or anything else we give our children. Sorry if that sounds harsh but it baffles my mind.

MustanGTbaby13 · March 2012

About 5. Never less than 4. Sometimes 8+. Last night was 13 (Teething/cold). Still nursing frequently in the night.
