Sleep

My LO is almost four months old and is breastfed. When did your babies start longer stretches of sleep?

There will be a million different answers to this. All babies are different.

With my LO, it doesn't matter how much food is in his belly before bed. He routinely wakes twice a night. He's 11 months old.

If sleep is starting to be an issue for you, I recommend looking into safely cosleeping.

Thanks! I'd be happy to have three hours of straight sleep at this point. He doesn't seem hungry every time he wakes up. He only naps for an hour at a time if I'm lucky during the day.

Thanks!

If nothing else helps, I also agree with looking into safe bedsharing guidelines and learning side-lying nursing.  It was my savior in the early days when this one wanted to be awake every hour after 3am.

Question: since you fed in bed and let lo sleep with you, did he sleep longer (after 3 am) and not ate every hour since lo was with you?
This is my problem, ds sleeps great until about then then wakes every hour and I can't get back to sleep between feedings before he is up again. I'm dying here! I don't want to bed share but I'm going back to work and can't live off a couple hours of sleep. Thanks...
