sleep....who's getting it?

bumpuser3155624 · January 2014

Figured this would be something random for us to do through the night for us that isn't too personal.

Lo has been sick so sleeping like crap. But last night she slept thru the night.....hoping for #2 in a row!!!!!!

Can I just ask what everyone considers sleeping through the night? The best R has ever done is 730-430 and that only happened once. I don't really consider it STTN because 430 is still MOTN for me.

I'm a special snowflake because we bedshare. He's fusses a little here and there but nurses right back to sleep.

My LO has no consistency and no rhyme or reason to her sleep patterns.

My LO pretty much does the same lately, and I'm with you...I don't think it's "STTN", but still pretty damn good! Especially compared to the 2 hr stretches I was getting for months. I would consider STTN when they go to bed at a normal hr and they sleep until like 6 or later and are up for the day. Everyone has their opinions though. Some say a 5 hr stretch is STTN even if it's 12-5.

What's sleep?
Coffee replace sleep right?

Coffee = Full night's sleep

Wine+baby monitor on DH's side of the bed= STTN

C was sleeping from 9p-9a for months. Then, we went on a long vacation to visit family, he got sick, and now we are visiting family again and he's not the best sleeper anymore. I know it could be worse, but he's up usually 2-3 times a night now. I hope he gets back on his old sleep schedule soon!

Usually up twice a night, but the last few nights he's been up 3 times. Boo.

Amer0317 · January 2014

I answered 1-2x. And just to prove me wrong, he's already woken up twice...by midnight...yippee.

ETA-he hates me...5 o'clock and 5 wake ups. Anyone else have a rough night after answering this poll?

My nerves are frayed. We get hardly any sleep. We cosleep and I think it's because she can smell the milk on me. When I leave the bed she sleeps like a log.

surpriseaddition · January 2014

I'm putting my LO to bed later....around 8:30, and she sleeps until 5:30 or 6 which I consider STTN. Maybe try a later bedtime for those waking at 4:30 so you'll get a full night's sleep? I get up at 5am each day, and go to sleep right after I get LO down so I'm getting a full night's sleep. I don't consider a full nights sleep "sleeping like a baby" because most babies don't sleep all night!

sundaesprinkles · January 2014

The last time he STTN (which I define as a six hour stretch, no matter what time) was at six months. Then he started waking up two times a night. Ever since 7 months his sleep has been progressively worse. Also at 71/2 months he got sick which didn't help things. Now he hardly sleeps at all, and the worst part is he only wants me when he wakes up. I think my nipple has become his lovey. He has to squeeze it to fall asleep. I've even tried bed sharing, which is about 50/50 on working. And I just started back at work.....I'm at my wits end!

D&S724 · January 2014

B will STTN for the most part, but he sometimes gets up randomly at 2AM and wants to hang out.

KLJ3 · January 2014

I answered that I'm up once or twice, but that's because I wake up to check on C. He's the one sleeping like a baby.

Great post, I will have to share results with my family who think I have the only 8 month old still not sttn.

nbatchen · January 2014

My LO was sleeping through the night since he was about 2 months old. Now at 8 months he gets up a couple times a night. However I just have to give him his bink back and rub his belly for a moment.

I had to do this too. G wakes up a lot still, and for a while, he was going to bed around 7, and getting up for the day around 5:15. Uh uh, no thanks.

Now he goes to bed a little after 8, and wakes up for the day at 7:05, give or take 3 minutes. So he actually sleeps longer, and I feel better, even with the 4 -10 wake ups a night.

MAdams728 · January 2014

I chose once or twice, but that's not really true, after I started thinking about it. I wake UP once or twice because she is moving or making noise and it turns on the monitor, but I rarely have to actually get up. If I do, I just pat her back and turn on the seahorse, and she's good. She goes to sleep at 8 or 8:30, goes down really easily, and sleeps until about 7:30 every morning.

She has not had to eat during the MOTN since about 4 months.
