How long does your LO sleep at night?

brideinsummer04

My LO is 16 weeks old and is very unpredictable with how much he will sleep at night. It's usually anywhere from 3 to 5 1/2 hours in a row. Twice it was 7 1/2 hours which was totally random - I wish I knew what made him do that! I'm not complaining because I don't think that amount of time is too bad plus he is a good napper, but I did want to know what other babies around this age are doing. The baby's first year book I have says they sleep 8-12 hours in a row which seems like a lot to me. Thanks!

Well my baby girl does not sleep period lmao

Typically 11pm-2am and then it's a struggle until about 5am-6am. She also doesn't nap much. Maybe twice a day for a max of 1 hour each.

She did have a handfull of nights where she slept awesome and for over 6 hrs...

I am one tired mama.

My DS was STTN until just recently.  Now he goes to bed about 7:30. Gets up at 1:00, 4:00 and up for the day at 5:30 or 6:00.  He's been on this schedule for about 2 weeks now.  I miss those days when he was sleeping 9 hours straight!!

My son is almost 15 weeks and he usually sleeps 9/9:30-6/7 eats and then goes right back to sleep until 9 or 10. It's a pretty sweet schedule I must say! Hoping it sticks for awhile. With the exception of 4 nights last week this has been his schedule since 8 weeks.

My DD has almost this exact same schedule.  We start the bedtime routine around 7:00, she's down after a bottle by 7:45 or 8:00.  Then we're up at 12:30/1:00, 3:30/4:00 and up for the day around 7:30.  I wish I could eliminate at least ONE of those MOTN feedings...sigh.  All in good time I suppose.

DS has only STTN once, and that was when we did a big road trip.  He typically wakes up every 2-3 (4 if we're lucky) hours to feed, but he's down by 9 or 10 and isn't ready for the day until 7am at the earliest.  He eats a lot, but I suspect I may not be producing quite enough milk for him.  We're going to try transferring him to the crib soon, so his sleep patterns will (hopefully) even out.

DS usually goes to sleep around 9 and then wakes up anywhere from 6-7:15. He'll eat then and usually will nap for 30 minutes-1 hour. Lately though his morning nap after eating hasn't lasted an hour. He doesn't really nap during the day except for little cat naps so that's the reason why I think he STTN.

Mine goes down for the night at 8 because we just put her into the room with her sister, so they both go to bed together.  Then I usually hear her at about 3:30 but she'll take her soother and sleep again until 6 or 7.  So I say that she sleeps from 8 to 6 or 7 and aside from a couple nights here and there when she hasn't eaten as much during the day for some reason, this has been it for about 4 weeks now.

He goes down between 7:45 and 8:15 and sleeps until 7 or 7:30.  He's awake until about 9-10 and goes down for his first nap.

She goes to bed around 10 and gets up about 5-6. Then another 1.5 hour nap right away usually. Then a 30-40 min nap evey 3 hours. 

cmc714

She goes to bed between 8-8:30, wakes up to eat between 4-5 (made it to 6 once!) and is up for the day 6:30-7:30.

He goes down at 9 every night (give or take) and then during the week we wake him at 5:45. On weekends he will last until 6:30 or so.

MrsAMB07

This week it's been 8:30-5, nurse, then 5:30-7. She's still swaddled though, I'm scared to take it away!

AMbaby

Adela goes down around 10:00 we move her upstairs with us and feed her at 11 then she goes down until 7:30-8:30 ish in the AM.

talitha712

DD sleeps an average of 10 hours at night.  She typically takes her last bottle around 7:30 and is asleep around 8:00.  I wake her up at 6:00 during the week; on the weekends she wakes up on her own around 6:30.

Ds goes down around 10pm and wakes up around 6:30am. I pull him in bed with me, he eats quickly then we both fall back asleep until about 8:30. That's been his schedule since 6 weeks old. Though the last week he's been getting up around 3am starving. We just added rice cereal to his dinner so hopefully this will help.

DS falls asleep between 7:30 and 8 (typically) and is up anytime between 5:30 and 6:30 - typically around 6:15. I'm baffled by those who say their LO gets up at the same time every day ; )

Last night was his best sleep ever - he made it to 4:45 before he woke up, ate, and went down for another hour. He is waking up to eat once a night 80% of the time, twice a night the other 20%. He's really all over the place - it's never at the same times.

EXACT same times here. He doesn't eat much in the day though because he won't take a bottle at daycare.

DD goes to bed at 6:30 and is up for a quick 5-10 minute feed at 4:30 then back to bed until around 7 sometimes 8. She is a dream sleeper which is awesome because my toddler is a terrible sleeper and still doesn't consistently sleep through the night.

kes487

DD goes to bed at around 10 to 11 and wakes around 11 a.m.  The only thing is, she takes 30 minute naps. -_-  I can never get anything done.

DD2 sleeps 7 hrs, eats, back down for 3, eats, and back down for 3 more hrs before getting up. DD1 sleeps through DD2's first feeding, so sleeps 10 hrs, then 3 more, then up for the day. DD2 occasionally sleeps 10 hrs too but it's pretty rare- I think it has happened maybe 5 times in the last 3 weeks.

This is exactly Scar's schedule.  

FarmvilleLover

He goes down between 8 and 9 and is up between 6 and 7. He averages about 9 to 10 hours a night.

It depends on the day. During the week she goes from 7:30pm to 7:00am with a feeding around 5:30am before I leave for work. Sometimes she wakes up at 1:00am for another feeding, too. During the weekends she'll sleep a bit longer, with a similar early morning feeding.
