Newborn/Baby Sleeping Habits- Books?

Question

Does anyone Have any good advice or suggestions to establish good sleeping habits. As in getting a baby to sleep through the night?  We were very strict with our last two and did bedtime the same way at the same time each night. But it didn't seem to help. I think my last baby wasn't consistently sleeping through the night until 15-18 months. Then I see my friends kids who start sleeping through around 3-4 months and I feel like I must be doing something wrong.

Answer

<Yawns> I birth terrible sleepers too.  There is some sort of memo in my husband's DNA that tells boy babies not to sleep through the night until at least 18 months of age.

I am going to agree with the other posters who say you are doing everything right but every baby is different.

Not very helpful, I know, but hopefully you can find some comfort in not being the only parent with kids who don't sleep.

Answer

My first two slept through the night at 4-6 weeks. I have no clue how or why, I didn't read any books, or do any crazy schedules. I fed them when they were hungry and let them sleep while they were tired. I was very laid back... Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not though. Due 10/18 and praying our third is the same as first two

Answer

My nanny friend told me that the only worthwhile book was Happiest Baby on the Block.

Answer

It's not necessarily that you're doing something wrong every child is just very different with sleep.

I nanny  triplets and all three of them have always been different with their sleep schedules even though they were all treated the same way and had the same bedtime routine.

Answer

The book Bringing up Bebe has a lot of good tips. Apparently in France most babies are sleeping through the night at 2-3 months!

Answer

Someone just suggest 12 hour sleeps by 12 weeks
