How does your baby’s sleep?

Question

How are your babies sleeping? My baby is still swaddled and he is still constantly waking up at night! Last night he woke up about 4 times just by 130am! My husband argues with me because I think he needs to not be swaddled anymore and he needs a more consistent bedtime

Answer

We stopped swaddling by 8 weeks as there is an increased risk of suffocation after that time. Certainly if your baby is rolling he or she should NOT be swaddled. It’s not safe. 
My baby goes to bed same time every night. By 5-6 months they need routine.

Answer

Down at 7-8 every night sleeps till about 5.

Answer

I honestly just think all babies are different. I have 4 children. The first two I was pretty young and not in my own house so I won’t comment on them but the youngest two are 13 months apart and I have done every exactly the same with them. My son started sleeping through the night pretty early and was so easy to get on a routine. My daughter (my November baby) woke up 6-10 times a night the first 4 months. She then started waking up once a night for a few weeks and is back to waking up 5-6 times a night. She’ll be 6 months on the 5th and no matter what kind of routine I try to stick with it doesn’t seem to matter with her (same with the first two) don’t be hard on yourself mama, you’re doing great. It’s totally normal for babies to wake up frequently at this age and it’s only temporary. 💕

Answer

Probably both. We stopped swaddling over the weekend because she was getting close to rolling from her back. I try to do a consistent bedtime routine and as close to the same time as possible. What time is your little one’s last nap? I have to make sure mine doesn’t take more than a 20 minute nap after dinner or else she think she can wake up all night.

Answer

I think you’re right on both points. The swaddle isn’t helping and a steady bed time is a must. Mine sleeps in footie pajamas and a sleep sack in his crib. He is very temperature sensitive so keeping him warm but his room cool helps him stay asleep. He currently wakes up 2 times a night to feed then right back to sleep in his crib. I also try not to change him unless he wakes up a lot.

Answer

My baby was out of the swaddle just before 4 months old. She is now almost 6 months and has a regular bedtime of about 6:30pm. I still dream feed her before I go to bed around 10:30-11pm (she never actually wakes up 100%) and she sleeps until 6:00am.

Answer

Mine was busting out of his swaddle by 3 months due to teething so we had to transition him out around then. Sleep has been rough thanks to sleep regression and teething but we’re currently coming out the other side of it all I think. He is 24 weeks and down to waking twice to eat a night around midnight and 5am. Down at 7:30/8pm every night after a bath and long nursing and up for the by 7am. (Wish I could get him to sleep till 8 or 9am like he used to but his little internal clock insists on 7am sharp😩)

Answer

My baby sleeps 4-6 hours at a time most nights. Usually he sleeps a longer period, and then he’s up every 1.5-2 hrs until he actually gets up. We don’t swaddle him, but he sleeps with us in a sleep sack. If he’s sick or has gas, he’s up every two hours all night.
