Hours of sleep

sleepy33 · April 2014

How many hours in a row does your LO sleep?

Amjoy25 · April 2014

Depends but usually a good 6-7 in a row sometimes less, sometimes more.

jennlin · April 2014

before i answer---night or day?

psychdoc12 · April 2014

Her first stretch is usually about 6:30pm to 12:30am then up every 3 hours or so after that.

I suppose whichever has the longest stretch of hours? IDK.

sleepy33 · April 2014

My intention was nighttime sleeping, @jennlin

chelseyestelle · April 2014

Usually about 5-6 hours and then up to eat and back down for another 4-5.

yesthisiskim0401 · April 2014

Oh, fuck, I totally misunderstood this poll and voted wrong. Subtract one 5-6 vote and add one to 3-4 (which is relatively new).

bkeane619 · April 2014

Usually 9 then she wakes for bottle then down another 2

EmJ&B · April 2014

On a good night, he wakes every 2 hours. Like clockwork. It's freaky.

Phalaenopsis · April 2014

8 in a row, then nurse and snuggle for another hour or so. She refuses to be put down back into the crib once she wakes up.

calibr8te · April 2014

Every night is different, I am usually guaranteed 1 or 2 hours between his wake ups. His bedtime is at 7pm and wakes up at around 7am. Guaranteed he will wake up half an hour after he goes to bed, and then after that it's a crap shoot. We have had nights where he will sleep till 3 am for first wake up, other nights he's up once before midnight and once after. Lately it's been 3-4 wakings a night.

Gatorsgirl731 · April 2014

I said 5-6 I guess that is the most common. On a normal night she will sleep 9 hrs total, from 9pm-6am. She usually wakes up once that can be at 12, 2, 4, or 5.

He goes to sleep somewhere around 8 and wakes up at exactly 5:24 every single day. Weirdo. So like 9ish hours.

Wow, that is very precise!

Mine is very predictable, too, but not down to the minute like that!

asilwhite · April 2014

The first part of the night is his longest and he'll sleep for about 5 hours then he's up to eat, then will sleep for another 3 then up to eat again, back to sleep for another 2-3 then up again to eat and sometimes for the day.

Thank goodness for co-sleeping, otherwise I might be dead right now. In fact, I maybe talking to you from the grave.

muffyvonmuff · April 2014

I said 5-6. He's down between 8/830 very easily. Then up around 130/2 eats quick back down till 630 eats again and then back down till 8/830am. I'm so happy I can now feed him and lay him down fully awake too. He just talks to himself until he falls back to sleep.

3-4hrs overnight. During the day, it's 20ish mins

Exactly this

ajjf1026 · April 2014

I second what @petdocd‌ & @ElleStaxx‌ said!

kelle017 · April 2014

usually 6 hours, nurse and 4 more hours of sleep;

pmarie33 · April 2014

Usually 9-10. There are exceptions.

carawasa · April 2014

sorry...you asked. my LO sleeps 12 hours every night. but she doesn't sleep more than two hours throughout the day. :-\"

Jalee85 · April 2014

I usually get 2 - 3 hours. I'm starting to feed oatmeal before bed a getting like 1 less wake up, but I haven't paid attention to time.

Hey, that's why it's an anonymous poll, man. You don't have to admit it in the comments!

You mean, more than 2 hours total throughout the day, right? Not like a 2 hour nap.

slh6363 · April 2014

Usually 7-8 then up to eat and back down for another 2

LittleBabyG2013 · April 2014

Her newest routine is up every 2hrs, also like clockwork. I think they have little alarm clocks inside them! Haha

megs1409 · April 2014

It's been all over the place lately. Between being sick, a potential growth spurt, us being inconsistent on the nighttime routine and teething (no teeth yet), he's all over the map.

right. she fights sleep during the day and really only naps for 1/2 hrs at a time...so she's pretty exhausted by 630/7

nbcarlson · April 2014

DS usually goes to bed around 10:30 and then wakes up around 1 or so then sleeps until 6 or 7 and then he will sleep again until 10 if I stay in bed with him. I hardly even notice anymore, I just roll over and he latches on and I fall back asleep.

MissLauraPants · April 2014

The last three weeks he has been going to bed between 730 and 9 and waking up at 6 for a bottle and then back to sleep until 730. I put 8-11, and no complaints here!

Oh yeah, we have #samebaby then. #babytwins Does she have to nap on you or can you put her down?

cassey910 · April 2014

Usually btwn 8-11. Sometimes he will wake up at 10 and 11pm but I just have to rock him back to sleep

Inn2 · April 2014

5-6 is the new average for the last week, but it changes weekly. I really could have chosen from many categories depending on the week.

She goes down for a nap in her crib no problem, just doesn't stay asleep

Kessho · April 2014

7pm to about 6ish Amos 11 hours though recently he's been waking up around 2 for five minutes and then back to sleep. Dunno if it is night terrors or what. Fights naps though like crazy.

Oh, that's good! Mine goes down without a peep in the crib at night, but during the day he says fuck this crib in particular. #Inaponyourchest #yougetnothingdone

*blue*flower* · April 2014

I'm pretty sure DD has one of those prize wheels in her crib and spins it to decide how long she'll stay asleep between wake-ups.

Chrisanna0508 · April 2014

I think for DS it's a trade off between day and night sleep. One is good and one is not. Right now his nights are he decent, but his naps have been terrible. He has been napping a little better recently though since he started flipping over to sleep on his stomach.

Welshgirl12 · April 2014

Amelia's sleep patterns are anyones guess. Last Friday she went 9 hours, last night she was up 4 times between 9pm and 4am. She keeps me guessing!!

sweettwilight16 · April 2014

It varies. Last night was a good night and we got 8!! Usually she is up every 4-5 hours though.
