When did your DC sleep through the night?

Popular question I'm sure, but I did a search and can't find exactly what I'm looking for.

DD is only 2 weeks old but I'm already counting the minutes until she sleeps through the night! When did your DC sleep through the night or at least wake up less often Chat Icon

The medical definition is 6 hours -- but somehow having her sleep from 8 pm to 2 am (around 2 months) didn't seem like "sleeping through the night" to me!

It took until 21 months for her to sleep my definition of "through the night" which meant that mommy got to go to sleep at 10 pm and regularly expect not to be woken up until 6 am!

Re: When did your DC sleep through the night?

Steven was like clockwork from the day I brought him home. He would wake every 4 hours.

He started going longer stretches at about 4 weeks old, but then at 10 weeks, he started waking once or twice a night. This was because of his teething. That lasted for about 2 months. Now he sleeps through MOST of the time. He still has an off night here and there.

right- u might think having them sleep from 11pm-5am is thru the nite too, which is what a lot of other women posting here may be talking about....

but if YOU want to sleep thru the nite, say, from 9 or 10 til 7 or 8 the next morning, ur DC is only 2 weeks old, u def have a while before u get that. Chat Icon first, up to 3 months, if they still wake during the nite, they still need to eat. and from there on after, itll take a little bit to adjust to what theyve become accustomed to....

anyway, my DC started sleeping thru the nite around 6.5 months (8-7ish), and now, for the last couple months, she sleeps from 9ish to 9ish, doesnt wake up when shes teething or anything, hasnt woken up at all thru the nite since she was 7 months (when she got her first 2 teeth)...but im pretty sure most kids get adjusted to getting these teeth (or my DD is just an angel), bc shes gotten 6 more teeth since then and i dont even know unless she opens her mouth...shes even cutting her first molar and i had no idea.....

anyway, hang in there....

i posted something a while back, saying how i will GLADLY wake up with DD again...it only lasts so long, you know? and i miss her needing her mommy in the middle of the nite....ill do it all over again, to be there to rock her and nurse her in the wee hours...at the time, i thought, oh HELL no as i woke and looked at the clock every time she got up...but again, looking back, knowing she needed ME, ill do it again for all the future babies, bc after 6 months, when they can really learn to fall asleep on their own, ull miss them.....Chat Icon

Re: When did your DC sleep through the night?

This is a great question, I was wondering too. Sounds like such a varied range, these kids keep us guessing, huh?

I would just like DD to sleep from one feeding to the next, 2-3 hours now, and that seems like it will never happen Chat Icon

I was getting 5 hour stretches at night at about 1 month old.

She started sleeping 7-8 hours at about 3 months old.

Re: When did your DC sleep through the night?

DD starting sleeping 11 hours with one feeding in the middle at around 2 1/2 - 3 months. I was more than happy with that!! It wasn't long after that she started sleeping 11-12 hours straight!!! Before that, she was colic so I never got the 10 pm to 6 am thing.

Re: When did your DC sleep through the night?

17mths and stiill NOT sleeping through the night. My dd is a very restless sleeper and cannot put herself back to sleep so we have lots of fun..the longest stretch she ever does is maybe 4 hours. You definitley have some more weeks to put in before you get close to that 6 hour mark. hang in thereChat Icon

Oh and rem all babies are wired diffrently...some are great sleepers, some are not.

Re: When did your DC sleep through the night?

One good thing about Bella... she has slept through the night since we came home from the hospital. She'll get up very lazily once during the night, to nurse, if she even makes it through without passing out again.
