Longest stretch of sleep

LindsayB0505 · June 2014

Just curious how our April babies are sleeping these days. I realize we have over a 4 week age gap with some of them, but what is the longest stretch of sleep you are CONSISTENLY getting at night? Not the fluke nights, but the usual night.

Dd has started sleeping 7pm-4:30am, and again till between 7-8am. She will be two months on Thursday.

Now if I could just get my 3 year old to sleep past 5am I could actually feel rested

janellemj928 · June 2014

Voted 3-5, but it's usually about five and a half hours.

ambarnett1 · June 2014

DS sleeps from 9 or 9:30 to 3 or 3:30, so about 6 hours and then gets up between 5-7. If I'm lucky then he goes back to sleep until 9.

This.

snmetz7 · June 2014

we got 8-9 all last week and then last night she woke up at 9, 10, 11, 1, 3, 5, 7 WTAF baby! That is the WORST it has been since we've been home from the hospital.

This sounds like my nights! Although this time between feeds, actual sleep is much less

mrscrcalli · June 2014

Just started with first stretch being 5 hours! 2 days so far!

ashcole28 · June 2014

For the last few days she's been sleeping from 10-5 straight through I hope this is going to become the norm

JBellacqua84 · June 2014

Usually asleep by 9/10, up between 1 and 2. Then back to sleep followed by a serious grunting fest around 430/5. Up for the day around 830.

fourthnlast · June 2014

She sleeps 8-9 hours, has a bottle and then sleeps another 3 hours.

J&NL · June 2014

Usually from 9-10pm until 4-5am. Longest was 8 hours. My boobs killed!

pineconey · June 2014

The one person who said 12 must not understand the question. Or their baby is a robot. Cuz let's face it, I'm an adult and I can't go 12 hours between meals.

Pandamom416 · June 2014

LO sleeps 7-9 hours straight a night, but goes down at 7-8 pm so we are up early. It's hard to get more than 1 full hour after that.

Emma slept for 12 hours straight last weekend. Last bottle at 8:45pm and didn't wake to eat until 8am. Hasn't happened since.

LindsayB0505 · June 2014

Lukas usually goes to bed between 7:30 and 8. I unfortunately haven't even successful with a dream feed (he's too asleep). Then gets up around 2 to eat and then usually again at 5 or so and up for the day sometime between 7 and 8:30

Starfish+77 · June 2014

My DD slept 7-7 by the time she was 3 months. Straight thru no waking. Clearly I hit the lottery with her. But my DS (11 wks ) is making up for it since he is a shitty night and day sleeper.

Shitty day sleeper here too.

Xxlilies · June 2014

Voted 3-5

He usually sleeps from 10 pm to 2-3 am before waking for a feed then when he goes back to sleep it's usually until 7-8 but lately he's wanted to eat at 5 am as well

My DD was the same way. Actually sleeping 12 hours through at night. I knew that was a fluke. DS not so good. Still waking usually twice sometimes three times a night.

MadBloom · June 2014

I said 3-5 but it's more like 2-3 and a half consistently. We had an awesome sleep last night after she fought sleep for hours and finally passed out around midnight. Got 5 hours out of her, then she ate and slept 5 more.... I want that EVERY NIGHT!!!

BuggasMom · June 2014

Anywhere from 4-8 hours

thebennerhalf · June 2014

LO is 10.5wks and consistently goes 3, then 2.5-3 twice more. We had two nights of 5. I would kill to get back to that. I've tried everything!

mooncusp22 · June 2014

I too voted 12 hours. It happened twice, DD has been consistent with 10-11ish hours straight though . This just happened when she hit around 8wks. She is almost 13wks now & the past 3 days has gotten up at 6am to eat (8.5hr stretch) & then will sleep right after eating for another hour or 2.

irisheyez7 · June 2014

Mine goes down around 11:30 every night and sleeps till about 8am. Then she will eat and go back down till around noon. I am certainly NOT complaining!

macynsnoop · June 2014

Damn! What am I doing wrong that my baby won't go more than 3 hours between feedings? This means sleep stretches if about 2 hours max!

Sheybre · June 2014

I don't want to jinx myself but the past few days she's been sleeping 9pm til 7am [-O< I must have done something right in my past life!

bootsiebabe · June 2014

Well we had a glorious week of eight hour stretches but now we seem to be back to two four hour stretches. Not the worst, but my body can definitely tell the difference!

kwolslager · June 2014

Nally sleeps from about 10pm til 6am and then after a quick change and bottle will sleep again from 6:30-8am.
However my 4 yr old is up and ready for the day as early as 5am.

Soon2bStaff · June 2014

I got lucky with my LO! Since the day she turned 5 weeks, she's been sleeping through the night! She turned 9 weeks on Monday! We usually do tubby time around 8 with a quick 5 minute lotion massage after. I feed her and she's in bed by 9:30p-10p. She wakes up around 7-7:30a, feeds for 10 minutes and then goes back I bed until 9:30-10a. Once she's up though, she might take three 25-35 minute naps throughout the day (if that) and she must be laying on you or she wakes right up when I lay her down!!

Our DD's are pretty similar!

Alana526 · June 2014

6-7 hours but she is starting to regress at 10 weeks and do.4-5. No idea why.

JanMommy2under2 · June 2014

He goes to bed about 930, wakes at 6 for a quick feed and diaper change then goes back to sleep for 3-4 more hours. He's been doing this for about 2-3 weeks now and is now sleeping in his own room. He actually started sleeping better when I moved him to his own room, I think my constant checking if he was still breathing caused him to stir too often.

AmberLiz99 · June 2014

My nine week old now sleeps better than my 3 year old. She has slept 7-6 the last two days, and my toddler is up by 5:30 at the latest and doesn't go to bed till 8.

kmos816 · February 2015

C has consistney been sleeping 9-11.5 hours at night all in one stretch since the beginning of January after some gentle sleep training

LolaX2 · February 2015

DD started consistently going to sleep between 8:30-9:30 pm and will sleep until 8 or 8:30 am at around 7 months. (backing out of this post slowly...please don't shoot me lol).

The past 2 weeks she has been teething hard and cut one tooth, another on the way so she has been waking once or twice a night but just a little soothing for less than 5 minutes and she usually goes back to sleep. I really can't believe what an easy baby she is....my older DS on the other hand still wakes every so often at 3 years old and it was a very rare occasion to get 6-7 hours straight before he was like 18 months.

EDITED ****Grrr, just realized this post is super old but it was showing at the top of my feed!

BADASBKRCK · February 2015

I don't know how you ladies can handle such short sleep stretches! I got lucky, first 6 months it was 6-7 hours and after that it was 10-11 hours.

I just realized this was super old too- sorry for bringing this back to life- how did this end up back at the top of my feed?

I was super confused- like how can everyone function on 3-4 hour stretches!!!!!

BADASBKRCK · February 2015

geesh, that explains a lot. I thought it seemed really weird that someone said their baby was 2 months!

LolaX2 · February 2015

I was really confused too!
