Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

How many times per night does your DC wake up to eat ??

My DD is still waking 2-3x per night (only twice has she woken once)..

On top of that both my kids are early risers, my day starts between 5-6am DD was waking up a little bit later but not anymore ( my DS wakes her when she does !)

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

When Emerson was 4 months she started going to bed by 7:30 and she slept straight through until 6:30-7 the next morning. At almost 8 months she still has the same routine. I was lucky thank goodness!!
At 3 months she stopped waking up to eat and had her last bottle at 10pm and by 4 months she cut out that last late bottle at 10. She did it on her own.

Sasha woke up 2X for a few nights last week. Now she seems sorta back to normal.

She goes down at about 7 30 to 8 15, wakes up around 2 or 3. Then again at like 6 30/7 30. She didn't wake up when we put her down later though.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

my dd was waking up to eat once from about 3-4 months...it was normally at around 3amish..lately since starting solids, shes been sleepimg alittle better..from 8pm-4:30 or 5..or when im lucky i get her to stay up til 9, and then shell sleepi till 6am..who ever thought 6 am would be a vacation

last nite though, she did wake at 4 to eat..and i wasnt very happy this morning. lol

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

So many times I can't even count... I am so sleep deprived it isn't funny. I haven't slept more than 2 hours at a time in 4.5 months.
DS has never been a good sleeper.
DD used to wake up once around 3 am. Now she wakes up once an hour or more, just like her brother. I don't know what the problem is here. I am so jealous of everyone who's babies sleep through the night or get up 1-2 times. I wish.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

DS is 1 week shy of 4 months, and wakes up 1-2 times overnight. He goes down around 10, and wakes around 4, and then again around 630-7. Sometimes he'll go back down for another hour til 8ish, but usually he's up for the day by 7, and takes a long morning nap from about 8ish-11ish. I sleep with him LOL..I love those mornings.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

DS is also a week shy of 4 months and gets a bottle around 9ish and wakes up at 2ish to eat. Last night he also woke up at 4:30a but just fussing not to eat. He's up at about 6:30a and goes down for a nap at 8ish.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

DS is 5 months old and still wakes up 2-3 times per night. Last night was the first night he only woke up once. I have a feeling that was just a fluke though.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

My DD has slept through the night since she was 9 weeks old. She has her last bottle around 8:30 and she sleeps until 7:30-8:00 the next morning. I think she got her sleeping genes from her Daddy, b/c according to my mom I didn't sleep through the night for 6 months.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

ds is 3 months and still wakes up 1x per night for a feeding. He will also wake up 1 or 2x for his pacifier. On those miracle nights when he doesnt wake for a paci, we usually get 6hrs straight.

last night ex: we put him up to bed at 8pm, he woke at 11 for his bottle. He woke up again at 330 for his pacifier and slept till 7am.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

My lovely monster is still up 2-3x per night *minimum*. She's always been a terrible sleeper tho. I hope she stops soon!

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

Sadie has been sleeping through since 9 weeks. She normally wakes up at around 3 because she breaks out of her swaddle. We rewrap her and give her her binky and she goes back to sleep.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

DS was the same way at 4 months, once we got to 5 months it got a lot better and now at 6 months he's been sleeping through the night. I never in a million years thought he'd sleep through the night but he has been. Hang in there!

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

Shaylie will go to bed between 9-10pm and won't wake up until 7-8:30am. She's been like this since she was 3 months.

Re: Moms of 4 month old(ish) babies....

when my DS woke up earlier in the night then usual, i increased his food/bottles during the day.

Maybe talk to the doc about starting DC on cereal

My DS has been sleeping through the night since he is 10 weeks (he turns 4 mos on Sat). At 1st it started with a lot of fussing for binky and swaddling during the night, and then he eventually settled in. He still gets a late bottle (9:30-10:30), but he doesn't wake up until 8:00, and sometimes I have to go wake him b/c its time to leave (for work).

He def takes after daddy - he LOVES to sleep and nap!

ETA: It helped that he came home from the hospital and was feeding every 4-5 hours which meant he sometimes went 6 at night, so the nighttime routine was never up every 2-3 hours. We are very lucky and may never have another kid again b/c we are spoiled!
