Another sleep poll :)

As we reach the 5 and 6 month marks with our little ones. How is their sleep?

Do you feel it should be any different than where you are?

    Every night is different....he slept through the night last night (which was probably the 5th or 6th time in doing so...) and some nights he wakes up 1-4 times....it really depends on how he did during the day.

    We get 10-11 hours each night (although got one 13 hour night during our busy tgiving week!). Most nights he wakes us up at least once for a paci replug.

    On average, LO goes to sleep at 6pm. He seems to be waking at 10, 3 and 5:30 and wants to eat. He gets up for the day at 6 am.

    I'm hoping he will start sleeping more. He isn't great with self soothing. I think the 10pm is a comfort feed because he doesn't know how to go back to sleep in his own. I wish I knew how to help him achieve that :)

    How long does he sleep uninterrupted ?

    Every night is different. He has never slept through the night but we did get lucky a couple times and he only woke up once. That's def not the norm though. The last several nights we are up 3-5 times. It is so out of control and I have no idea what to do anymore. This has gone on since birth. Not only does he not sleep well throughout the night but also fights it soooo hard at bedtime and it can take 1-2 hours of him crying and physically fighting to go to sleep... no matter how early I try to catch it. I'm completely exhausted and at a loss as to what to do anymore. I need serious help with this.

    Probably like seven or eight hours. He usually goes down for the night around ten and gets up between five and six. Sometimes longer. He naps earlier in the evening, though.

    N wakes up 2-3 times and one of those to nurse. What really sucks is that she often wakes up at 3:30/4 and will refuse to be put down to sleep anymore. She will be completely out - noodle arms and everything, but inevitably as soon as I put her down she either wakes immediately or 10 min later. I'm exhausted. Last week was the worst and I felt like I was at the end if my rope. Not sure how people do it for longer time periods.

    Until about 2 weeks I was in the same boat. Now getting up these 2-3 times is getting better but still pretty tired. My dh keeps asking me to sleep train. I just can't do it at this point. I'm not knocking sleep training for those that I have done it. I just can't bring myself to do it.

    My baby is weird. She was sleeping 10:30-6:30, waking to eat, then going back to sleep until 9. Then we made bedtime earlier, and now she flipped it on us. She goes down at 8:30, wakes up around 10:30/11:30 to eat, then sleeps until 8 or 9. Every now and then she throws in a 2am or 4am wake-up to keep us on our toes. And she fusses for the paci a couple times a night.

    I'm okay with it. But I see sleep training in our future to cut down on the random wake ups (by that I mean the wake ups where she is just waking for comfort or paci, not to eat). She will be sharing a room with DD1 at some point and I can't have her waking up a ton then.

    @wasnotwas how did ds1 get to the point where he slept? Did you do anything or it just clicked with him to sleep? Would you ever consider sleep training?

    About a week before his 1st birthday he dropped his 1am feeding on his own. Every sleep change that he went through was on his own. There were some nights that I let him cry a little longer because I was tired of getting up, but nothing major. (Ds1 was bottle fed breast milk until 7.5 months, then formula)

    I would consider sleep training if they could be settled with just a paci, not milk/formula. I figure if they need to eat sleep training won't work...but I've never tried, so I don't really know.

    Since we moved LO to his crib his 4 wake-ups a night has gone down to 1. He sleeps from 8-6:30 with one wake up usually around 2 or 3.

    We sttn at least 12 hours. The downside is that she doesn't really nap during the day, but I'll take it!
