How do u get ur baby to sleep for 4 or more hours straight a night?

Question

Please give me ur secrets, my son wakes up every 2 to 3 hours to eat

Answer

My baby is 7 weeks old and has only slept 4 hours once! I wish I knew how to get her to sleep longer! Getting up every two hours is getting exhausting.

Answer

I don't think I have any secrets, but my baby sleeps from midnight until 7. I initially tried to put him to sleep aroun 9, but he would wake twice during the night. We started feeding him around 7 and then again around 11:30, and now he sleeps through the night. We sometimes have to force ourselves to stay awake until then, but it's so worth it to get the uninterrupted sleep.

Answer

Establish a bedtime routine. At about nine we turn off almost all the lights he gets a bath we read to him and i feed him. He sleeps from 11pm to 8am

Answer

Dream feed. If your baby typically wakes at the same times every night. Try waking up 15-30 minutes before your baby does to "dream feed"'it worked so well with my kids.

Answer

I wish I had a secret to tell you but I have been VERY lucky with my daughter! She's almost 8 weeks and for the last 3 weeks she usually just falls asleep by 9 or 10 and wakes 1 time at 4 to eat and back to bed until 8. I think it all started because we had to start supplementing with formula too and she feels fuller now.

Answer

I find my baby sleeps better at night when he's had really good naps during the day and he's not overtired at bedtime.  Seems backwards, and maybe it doesnt work for all baby's, but maybe it's worth a try? 
But I also have a 2yr old who hasn't slept more than 4-5hrs her whole life, no matter what I did.  Maybe some kids just aren't sleepers....which probably isn't great to hear lol, sorry.  
Hope you get some sleep soon!!

Answer

Establish a bedtime routine. Around the same time every night, dim the lights, turn on white noise, and give baby a bath. Read to baby or sing to baby and breastfeed. Place baby down swaddled and drowsy on the back to sleep. Also keep room cool (68-70) and have a small fan for circulation.

Also, if baby is sleeping in your room, don't watch tv or anything in your room. Just use it for sleeping.

My baby is exclusively breastfed, and she is sleeping 12 hours at night with one dream feed in there. I let her feed on demand throughout the day, and I don't let her sleep longer than 2 hours for any nap during the day. I expose her to lots of sunlight as well.

All this was done after my baby spent a week awake from 10:30p-4:00a!! It was awful! Doing these things has changed her schedule completely, but I have to stick with them or she will wake up whenever and confuse her days and nights!

Stick with a routine, and best of luck!!

Answer

Swaddle tightly, feed a good amount right before bed, white noise kept between 60-65 decibels all night long, temperature in the room at about 70 degrees. My daughter sleeps 6-8 hrs at a time at night and 11 hrs total. She is 9 weeks old.

Answer

Swaddle! And a tight swaddle! I recommend the Halo Sleep Sack because the velcro is super helpful keeping them tightly swaddled all night. My baby is 7 weeks and he's been sleeping through the night for the last two weeks. He's down by 11:30 and sleeps until 7-7:30. I've noticed that during the day when he naps and I don't swaddle him, he only sleeps about 1-2 hours, will wake up and then I'll try rocking him to keep him content until his next feeding. I hope this helps! 
(we put him in the sleep sack in just a diaper and then also wrap him in a recieving blanket)

Answer

Try keeping your baby up 3-4 hours before you want to put them down for the night.
