when did your baby start sleeping through the night?

[DeLiteFull]

So my first son started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks, my second son is nearly 6 months and is still waking up once in the night to be fed.
All barr two babies at playgroup are sleeping through. any ideas to encourage a full nights sleep from him?

hey my kid is 2 years 3 months and she's a pain in the butt about sleeping!!

ok, had to get that off my chest.

[entropy]

kids and sleeping don't mix.

My 4 year old still wakes up every once in a while. And inevitably wakes up the 3 year old, since they share a room. She only does it a few times a month these days, though. It's for the birds.

My almost 3 year old started when he was 6 months old, after he got his first 2 teeth. I'm not expecting my almost 6 month old to even come close to sleeping all night till we get the first teeth out of the way.

He is bottle fed, its driving me nuts, my first son is/was the best sleeper best feeder EVER oh but this one is the devils child i tell you. I think he is secretly having a chuckle behind my back.

My son starting sleeping through at about 14 months on his own. He's 3 now and occasionally needs a tuck-in or some water, but he's a good sleeper for the most part.

My 3 yr old still wakes up almost every night to come to our bed. Sometimes, if we're lucky he'll stay in bed till about 5 or 6, then come in for the last hour, but usually he's in our room at like 2-3am.

You'd think he'd realize he'd have more room to stretch if he stayed in his bed.

6 hour stretches the day she came home from the hospital and completetly through the night at around 4-6 weeks.

Yeah, she rocks.

My son - about a year. But even then, until he was 8 1/2, he had nightly tantrums at bedtime, some of which lasted for hours. EVERY NIGHT.

But he then slept through.

My daughter? Probably around 6 months. I don't remember! (Poor #2!) I just know she wasn't nearly as hard in that respect.

[PotatoFace]

Yeah, well, at least now I know that bottlebabies don't sleep any better than boobbabies. Nor do babies eating solids sleep any better.

I should shut up. I get 7 hours straight.

THe more I get, the more I want, though.


my cousins bottle fed babies got up every 2 hours until she stopped their formula at a year old. And her two year old still gets up like 3 times .a night

Maybe Madeleine gets up and I just don't notice it? Sometimes we will go to sleep and I will find her latched on when I wake up.

You deserve a 12 hour nights sleep. You've been fighting the sleep fairy for a long time!

My son started sleeping through the night at 2 months. I don't know what changed, just all of a sudden he could sleep all night. Now he's 2 & 1/2 and wakes up once a night. Of course, that's because he falls asleep on the floor by his door. We just put him back in bed and he's fine 'til morning.

Around 6 months

My son had exzema and asthma when he was a baby. As a result, he (and I) didn't get a full night's sleep until he was a year old.

My daughter is 8 and she doesn't sleep through the night. She always gets up in the middle of the night and gets in bed with me. At least she doesn't wake me anymore.

^ so you're telling me there is hope with my 5 yo? and could you tell me he will eventually sleep later than 7am every morning too please? please?

With my daughter, yes, eventually, it happened. She actually sleeps even after the sun has risen now. True story. It's a friggin' miracle.

I would KILL to have my kids sleep till 7. I don't particularly like getting up at 5:30 on weekends, too.

My daughter is doing this neat thing where she likes to sleep in on school days, to the point I am DRAGGING her from bed, and then she gets up at 6:00 a.m. or earlier on the weekends. :s
