Thought it was a myth 😭🙌🏼

After having my first baby, I always read that babies should be sleeping through the night as they got older. Like 4 months sleeping through the night or getting good 5-6 hour stretches by month 2/3. I thought that shit was a myth, or just bs. Everytime my pediatrician asked “oh is baby sleeping through the night” part of me wanted to ask “is that even real? Do you have patients that sleep through the night already, and if so may i speak to the parents to ask how??!”

My first baby NEVER slept through the night. She still doesn’t at 3 years old 🤦🏻‍♀️

In June i had my second. A little boy, and I expected the same. I thought i’d never get to sleep anymore since my first would wake every 2-3 hours (if i was lucky) up until a year and a half. Then i’d get 4 maybe 5 hour stretches.

But here i am 3 months into it and my youngest sleeps like an angel. Like a baby actually. And i never knew why people would say “sleeps like a baby” because in my experience babies never slept 🙄 but now I understand. He’s sound asleep through the night for 6 hours, will wake to feed, and go straight back to sleep without a hassle. No fussiness, no colic, no getting up to feed, nothing. It really is heaven.

I haven’t done anything differently with him either, i guess every baby is just different. Hopefully by next month he’ll sleep through the entire night without waking to feed 🙌🏼🙏🏼
