When do they get more consistent?

Good grief.

My first born was STTN by the time he was 8 weeks old (he nursed heavily during the day) and my boobs regulated by the time he was 3 1/2 months old.

DD is still very inconsistent at night. She will wake up 1 to 2 times a night and the time of night range between 12:45 AM to 5 AM. Tuesday night she STTN from like 9PM until I had to wake her up at 5:30 because my boobs were ready to explode.  I was looking forward to another good night but she woke up to nurse at the midnight hour, 1:30AM (DH rocked her back to sleep) and then again at 4:45AM. 

I'm exhausted. I don't want to be at work anymore because the mornings are just so g-darn hard.

    It took DS until about 5 months to just wake once in the night to feed.  At that point he was going to bed at 9 and waking around 4.  Those 6 or 7 hours uninterrupted sleep were magical.  Hang in there!

    Every baby is different as night and day on sleeping and nothing will make that better.  Gabriel is still not STTN ever.   He is pretty consistent about it though Wink He has done it about four times in his whole life.  He will at least go to bed awake and on his own but he wakes every single night at 12:00 or 12:30 and then usually once more around 4 not to eat anymore though, just to fuss and find his paci and blanket.

    I have no advice but to tell you that you are doing fine and she will fall into it when she is ready.  It can take a while for them to not need to eat multiple times.  There isn't really a norm here but

    Jackson is 5 months will be 6 on the 18th and he still wakes twice a night. If I'm lucky. Sometimes more. I'm at work FT, I will say the first few weeks were rough but my body adjusted. I just try and go to sleep earlier. I hope it gets better

    What's consistent?? Lol.

    My LO was actually fairly consistent for a while - she'd wake up at 2am and 5am, bF, go back to sleep.  Around 4 months that changed and became a bit more inconsistent but not too different. At some point she shifted to more often only waking at 3 to eat, then go back to sleep, with a few exceptions that had me waking up at 5am with rock hard boobs.  However, for the past 2 months her sleep has been all.over.the.place.  She'll wake at 11pm then sleep til 7. She'll wake at 2am then not want to go back to sleep for an hour.  She'll wake at 11 then wake again at 3.  She'll sleep until 5 and decide it's morning, or be wide awake 4-5am then sleep in until 8:30.  She'll occasionally STTN (8-6:30/7), just to get our hopes up (I think we're up to 5 nights ever). 
     

    that sounds exactly like what I am dealing with!
