When did your baby start sleeping longer stretches in the night?

Question

My almost 3 week old wakes up every 2-3 hours and I’m dying of sleep deprivation. This was expected and I’m not surprised but please tell me it’s better by 6-8 weeks? Even if she can start sleeping 4 or 5 hours together I think I’d be so much happier.

Answer

routine is key!  My son started sleeping 6-8 hours after his growth spurt at 7 weeks and he now sometimes even goes 9 hours...sometimes he doesnt but he will usually go back down with a bottle for an hour or two...it does get easier as baby learns to self soothe some but I have heard all babies are different and some can take months to learn to self soothe and fall back asleep

Answer

I switched my baby to his crib at 4 weeks to see if it helped and he started sleeping one 3-4 hour stretch. Then he hit 5 weeks and it moved to a 5 hour stretch. He’s no 6 weeks and has slept a 6 hour stretch the last three nights. We’ll see if this pattern continues!

Answer

At w month old, both of my babies were sleeping through the night.

Answer

Mine didn’t until well after 4 months

Answer

My daughter started sleeping in 5-6 hour stretches over the last week. She turned 1 month on 8/21. I'll get her up sooner if she seems to be showing hunger cues. Even then she'll go back to sleep for another 3-4 hours.

Answer

Lol not at 3 weeks. That’s complete normal especially if you Bf. Mine didn’t sleep they the night until 2-4 months and then not again until 18 months

Answer

Depends on the baby. Many don’t start to sleep long until even a year old... My son slept 6-8 hours at only 2 months old. But my friends baby (born same week) didn’t sleep longer then 4 hours until 9 months....
