sleeping schedule

How is everyone's babies sleeping schedule by now??

My LO is finally sleeping more and longer... he can go 4 hours at night between feedings.

My DD is usually going 6 (down between midnight & 2am). It's currently 4:30am and SHE is sleeping, but I had to get up and pump because my boobs are exploding

 Hopefully she stays asleep through my pump and we can both get a few more hours sleep.

LO goes down between 9-10 and wakes up around 5-6. I like it better when she wakes up at 5 because the sun's not out yet and I can usually get her back down for another 3-4 hours. Once 6:00 hits, I'm screwed. I will feed her, play for a bit, and then put her in the swing for a nap while I sleep on the couch. Overall I can't complain.

My DD usually goes 3 hours in between feedings all day long......but finally at night she will go 4 hours- which makes it nice now

LO usually eats between 6:30 and 8:00.  Goes to bed around 8:30 and 9:00.  He will then sleep for 5-6 hours normally, gets up to eat and back down for 3-4 hours.  During the day he usually eats every 3-4 hours, closer to 3.

It depends.  She'll go to sleep at 10:30-11 and then either sleep til 7-ish am, or she'll wake up at 3-4 am then sleep past 9.

Easiest. Baby. Ever.

She'll usually sleep longer if H or I put a dirty t-shirt in there with her so she can smell us.

Not really consistent yet. She's sleeping one long stretch-usually 5-7.5 hours long, eats, and sleeps for another 3-4 hours. However, she doesnt really have a consistent bedtime/wake up time yet.

Officially jealous of your LO's schedule.. I guess I can't expect that from mine since every baby is different.....

DS gets up twice after we go to bed-usually he'll eat around 10 PM-then around 2, and around 5.  Overnight he will go right back to sleep after he eats now, so that's good-but he doesn't do that every time.

So at night-he usually goes 4 hours between feedings once, then closer to 3 hours until the next feeding. Typically day time feedings are closer, around 3-3.5 hours apart.

Not very consistent. As soon as i think we have a good schedual/routine down DS decides he wants to change it alittle. For a week we were goin to bed at 8:30 and then up every four hours to feed. Now were going to bed between 10 and 11 and sleeps for 6 hours eats then sleeps for 4 more. We end up gettin up anywhere between 7 and 10 usually.

Not a consistent schedule yet. Usually at night he'll sleep one stretch four about 4-5 hours, and then after that 3, then it's back to eating every 2 hours. Lately he's been getting his long stretch starting between 10 and midnight; I hope this becomes a pattern.

It's good to hear everyone's "schedule".  Makes me realize that although every baby is different Baby Elise seems to be on target with many of the other babies.  She seems to eat around 9:30pm and go to sleep by 11pm (wish it was earlier but oh well)  then she wakes up around 3 to 4 then again at 8 then she sleeps in her swing for a couple more hours.

my LO usually goes to bed around 9:30 or 10.  wakes up between 2 or 3 for a bottle.. then sleeps till 5:30 or 6.  when she gets up at that time she is ready to start the day.

  This is us as well.

I have to say that I am truly lucky! My baby girl was born on Christmas. She goes to bed around 9:30 or 10 and doesn't wake up again until 8 or 9am! She doesn't even wake up for any feedings. I've spoken to her doctor just to make sure she is ok and that everything is well. Doctor said she is great and right on track for everything! (And to thank my stars!) The only down fall with her sleeping so long is she used to be really wet. But we use the 'overnight' diapers "happy nights" from Fisher Price. They are amazing! They soak up everything and the diapers leave her skin dry!

Our LO goes down from 8 to 5. She has always from day 3 when we came home slept at least 5 hours, but has been sleeping 7+ hours since week 4. My boobs are only NOW starting to adjust. We do have a similar wet diaper problem described above too.

LO goes down between 7:30 and 8, and wakes up between 6 and 7:30.  She usually wakes once between 3-4.

She is not a very good napper, however.  The last couple weeks you could set a 40 minute timer to her naps.  I'm hoping it is just a phase.

DS is starting to go longer stretches.  I'm much more likely to get at least one 5-hour stretch at night now, though he wakes up more and more frequently closer to morning.

I wanted to add - I just love your LO's face in your siggy pic!  He's adorable.  "Aw, ma, come on - kisses are gross!"

Hello.. I see your children are really close in age how is that going? my son is 8wks and we are considering getting pregnant right away. Is it really hard having 2 little ones?

hh83179

I would pay for a three hour stretch of sleep...ugh

My girl is a great sleeper, giving us between 6 and 8 hours at a stretch at night, followed by a 2-3 hour stretch.  She eats usually every 2 hours during the day. So here is my question for the breastfeeding moms-- will my boobs ever adjust to the long stretch at night?  Because it's hard to be thankful for the sleep when you wake up in pain every twenty minutes in the middle of the night because you're so engorged!  Do boobs ever get to the point where they "know" it's night time so they don't have to produce the usual amount every 2 hours?

Basically this, although DS cluster feeds at night, pretty much from 6-7 until he finally goes to bed at 10-11 he eats every hour.  Fun times.

Wow, does that t-shirt thing work?  I've never heard of that.  My LO is a pretty good sleeper - 2 mos old, sleeps 6-7 hours at night - but there's always room for more.

Yes! They will - but are you pumping?? Because if you are your boobs don't know that it's break time

DD sleeps good 6 hours stints and every other night she seems to STTN with 9 hours. 

My boobs are squirting by morning on the 9 hour nights. But she's full within 5 minutes on those mornings

She's been going down at about 9:30 pm or so and sleeping till 4 am for a quick feeding (so about 6-7 hours), then a quick 3 hour sleep and then up for the day. She's not been a good napper at all.

This is pretty much us too.  Occasionally he'll have a really bad night and want to eat every 2 hours all night and be up for a while around 4 or 5 am.  Those are really tough.  But mostly, he'll do as you've described here.
