I am so envious of those of you whose LO's are younger than or around the same age as my LO and are already sleeping through the night. My LO doesn't seem anywhere near that. I'm lucky when she goes 4 hours between feedings. What I wouldn't give for a full night of sleep!
I haven't slept even 6 straight hours in probably 6-7 months. Man would that be nice. At this point I'm not even sure I could do it. I am so in tune with Aria's night feeding schedule now that I wake up before she does. When I was pregnant I was up every few hours to pee. As my mom would tell me, "It goes with the territory."
Tell me about it. I haven't STTN since August. Once I hit about 9 weeks pregnant, I was up peeing twice a night and now I'm up with DD. I told DH for Mother's Day I just want a solid nights sleep.
I wouldn't worry. We have only had DS sleep through the night once, and I'm sure it was a once in awhile type deal. And even when he did STTN, I still ended up waking up on instinct/habit. I honestly think it is a nice rarity for babies to STTN that young.
What actually counts as sleeping through the night? I see sometimes its 12 to 6. This momma would be a mess if that was all I was getting! LO goes down at 8 and up at 2. Goes back down by 2:30 and up at 6:30 again. And you better believe I'm out when he is! I'm going to enjoy one feeding a night as long as LO lets me!
My DS gives us a 6 hour stretch each night (usually) but I can't believe that's considered STTN. I think STTN should be sleeping all night without waking up!
It's biologically normal for babies to wake to eat through and beyond the first year. For a 4-6 week old, a four hour stretch is really great!
DD1 didn't STTN until she night weaned at 15 months or so. Honestly, the time really does fly and before you know it you'll be getting uniterrupted sleep again. In the meantime, nap whenever you can.
Our pediatrician gives us an info/advice sheet at every well baby visit, and the two month one made a point of saying your baby "probably does not sleep through the night." So, there.
Re: I am so envious...
It's okay to be jealous, but don't be holding your breath for yours to start. My 2.5 yr old still doesn't STTN! Some mamas are just lucky!
This. Sleep, what sleep?
