Babies Sleeping at Night?

ReadyForaB · October 2016

How is everyone's LOs sleeping? Do you co-sleep or is LO in their crib already? How many hours in one stretch are you getting? What are their sleeping patterns? GO!

We moved our son to his crib at five weeks which was WAY sooner than I thought I would want to but he is a night grunter and it was SO BAD in the beginning there. It was easier to listen to over the monitor. He figured out his days and nights around 4 weeks and was waking every two hours to eat. He is 9 weeks now and just in the last two weeks started giving us 6/7 hour stretches starting anywhere from 9-11pm. He will wake up to eat and go back to sleep for another three hours.

I'm always told I got lucky with my daughter which right now I did! She's a great sleeper at night and has been sleeping through the night since about two weeks old. I put her in her room at 1 month old which was actually more difficult than I expected and since I'm a light sleeper I hear all the noises she makes. Although she does sleep great at night she loves to fight naps during the day which I will gladly accept since I know a lot mom's don't get this luck!

@Gymmonkey you are lucky!!!!! I got 8 straight hours out of my LO last night from 930-530 then he ate and went back to bed until 830. It was fantastic. He takes a ton of naps during the day but they're only 20-30 minutes usually. I'm not sure how to get him to take fewer, longer ones.

We're also struggling to establish consistent, longer naps. He'll take a 3-hour nap about half of the days each week, but I'd love if a pattern would emerge so I could better determine when it's "nap time." I want to be able to put him in his crib for naps, but since they're so random, he just falls asleep wherever.

For nighttime, he's still in his bassinette, but is going to outgrow it soon. I'd like to wait to move him to his crib until he's 3 months. I'm a FTM and probably overly concerned about SIDS, so I like to keep an eye on him through out the night. He sleeps from around 8:30pm-4:00am and is 10 weeks. I find he sleeps best if we cluster feed three feedings right before bed

So jealous. LO still wakes about every 3hours. Sometimes she will go four if I'm lucky. I have only two weeks until I go back to work and I wish she would sleep longer.

We are lucky so far with DD. She has started to sleep eight hours at night, but only naps once during the day for a long stretch. After DS, who didn't sleep for more than four hours at a time
until he was almost 10 months old, we deserve this. I'm sure it will all go to hell with the four month sleep regression, but I'm going to enjoy it until then.

My daughter has slept 9-5ish since she hit the 2 month mark 2 weeks ago she will eat 6oz bottle then back to sleep around 6ish until my almost 3 year old wakes up around 8 or 9. Both my kids are good sleepers so far

Lurker from sept 2015 - our board is getting stale LOL. LO is now 13 1/2 months and still doesn't sleep through the night. We've had nights here and there of her sleeping all night but through the developmental changes, teething spurts, colds and sicknesses, vaccines, etc it just goes up and down constantly. Just when I think "she's finally sleeping through the night!" Something else comes along and disrupts it. The 4 month sleep regression was by far the worst for us. What helped me a lot was to stop having expectations. I would go to bed assuming I'd get to sleep all night or assuming she was in a great rhythm only to be woken constantly or several times and it would put me in a sour mood the next day. Now, after nearly 14 months, I've learned to just ride the waves... I go to bed with no expectation that I'll get a good full nights sleep. It has helped some - I seem to have just accepted it LOL. Our LO has slept poorly for as long as I can remember and I do all bedtimes, night wakings and mornings... not to mention take care of her all day - plus I work 40 hours a week from home - so I told DH we are one and done. I've gone over a year with no sleep and being the sole caretaker. I envy those of you whose husbands help out!!!!

My LO is turning 3 months tomorrow. I've gotten a few 8hr sleeps (awesome), but mostly he has been going to bed around 9pm (just moved him into his own room/crib last week though it made no change on sleeping habits). He gets up just once in the night now anywhere between 3am-5am, will gobble down a bottle and usually fall asleep again while eating and I can gently put him back in crib then will sleep until 7am-8am (or sometimes even later). My 2.5yr old is usually up by 7ish so I have to get up either way :-/ He was 13lbs at his 2 month appointment so he's at a weight where he could be sleeping through the night, hoping that comes soon!

DD will sometimes do a 4 hour stretch, but for the most part I think I'm up every 2 hours. I've lost track honestly, I'm exhausted. LOL When she finally does decide to sleep her 4 hour stretches, my 4 year old randomly decides to wake up, so.... ugh. They'll all sleep one day, until then, I will exist as Mombie.
