How long is your two month old sleeping?

ashleighlt · September 2013

I have b/g twins who will be two moths tomorrow. My boy eats every three hrs day and night. I believe my girl would sleep longer and go longer between feedings however it is suggested that if one wakes you wake the other to feed that way you are not up every hr feeding. I'm just wondering when he will start sleeping longer and not needing to eat every three hrs at night.

Not long enough....every 2-3.5 hrs. The longest stretch was 5 hrs and that was once on an overtired day. She's done a few 4 hr. stretches but they're exceptions.

On average 5 hours then feed then 3 or 4 hours. Feel very lucky! Once last week she slept 7 1/2 hours straight! She started going 5 hours at week 7 prob...before that we were up every 2 to 3 hrs.

How much do they weigh? I think that is a factor too. By 2 months my baby would sleep 6 hours straight, now she is 2 months and 20 days she sleeps from 7pm-4am eats then goes back to sleep until 7am. Naps during the day total around 2-3 hours. Each baby is different!

LO will be 2 months in a few days. Her first stretch at night is 5 hours, and then another 3 hours. The longest she's slept is 9 hours, but that's only happened once.

Mine sleeps 5-6 initially and then 2.5 & 2.5. He is 10 weeks and weighs 13 lbs.

This one usually does about 5 hrs then about 3 or 4. My older one slept about 3 hrs at a time at this age and I feel like that's way more typical.

I have twins also that are just over 10w old (4w adjusted) and about 10lbs. We also do one up, both up and the same twin (our little guy) always gets the train going at night. We've thought about just feeding him and letting his brother sleep, but I don't know that he'd actually sleep that much longer.

You can always give it a shot and see. I'm still so sleep deprived that I don't have it in me yet to potentially be up for 2 hours instead of one (we tandem bf).

We get anywhere from 2-5hrs for their "long" stretch

LO only sleeps for about 1-2 hours at a time.

I am trying to get her out of my bed but it's the only way she will sleep. She'll just cry and cry anyplace else. We are trying white noise, pacifiers, tight swaddling, etc. She has also been a super colicky baby all day since week 1.5 so I am hoping that when that gets better so will the sleep.

LO is 6 weeks now and we luckily have her sleeping each night from 11 PM to 6 AM! Swaddling has helped majorly! I think that helps her to distinguish night and day. We are also trying to keep her awake more during the day as well and we have noticed the difference. She is almost 13 lbs at 6 weeks though. A very chunky, happy baby!

N will sleep anywhere between 5 hours and all night. I'm dreading the 3 month wakeful!

2 months tomorrow, 10lbs at her appointment this past Monday...

She goes to sleep at 6pm (exhausted from daycare), I wake her up at 8 to eat and back to sleep, wake her up at 10 to eat, back to sleep, wake her up at 12 to eat and then she sleeps until 6. At least that's what happened last night. Every night is kind of it's own adventure, but that's generally the theme recently.

7-8 solid hours. She goes to sleep btw 9 and 10 and wakes up btw 5 and 6.

I'm curious, did the doc say to wake her up?

JCWhitey · September 2013

We have two routines we like to follow, it seems.

Either we're down at 10PM, up at 4AM, up at 7, up for the day at 10 OR...

Down at 11:30PM, up at 6:30, up at 10:30

You would think I'd prefer the one where I get 7 hours of sleep, but I don't. The boobs are not having fun by the time 6:30 rolls around! And I don't mind that 4AM feeding... it's kind of our special time. The time he goes down depends on how fussy he is going to bed. We always start our night routine at 9 and sometimes he goes right down as soon as his feeding is over, other times he fusses and needs to be rocked or entertained for a bit first.

Our pedi said that once she reached her birth weight it was ok to stop waking her at night to feed. We just took her in to talk about reflux, though and the doctor was concerned about her weight gain. She's 97th percentile in length, 95th in head circumference and 40th in weight (she's outgrowth 3 month in length, but newborn pants fall off her because she's so skinny). So I think she's just gaining all her weight in length as opposed to chunk (I was always the same type of build), but the doctor said try to get as many extra calories in her as she would take to try to up her weight. So really the waking at night is more for us to be able to say that we fed her as much as possible.

DD was 2 months old yesterday and she sleeps about 8 hours at night. She goes to bed at 10 and usually wakes around 6 or 7.

My baby is 6 weeks and sleeps for 4 hours then for about 3 hours. This has been her schedule from basically her first night home.

vscales · September 2013

My LO goes to sleep between 9:30 and 10:30 most nights and awakens between 2:30 and 3:30, then every 2 hours after that. I'm happy for the initial stretch of time she gives me especially since it's sometimes a fight to get her to sleep. She's so nosey, and only 11 weeks old. What helps is a warm bath with lavender and vanilla baby wash, a scalp massage, clean pj's, and feeding. It's like kryptonite!

Interesting my daughter is in the 94% for height and 22% for weight and it wasn't mentioned at all to wake her... They said not to wake a sleeping baby... I would think 40% would be perfectly fine... Have you thought of asking another dr?
