What are your babies sleeping like?

Question

My guy is just over 9 weeks and goes to bed around 930, sleeps for 45 minutes and then we fight for over an hour to get him to go back to sleep. Then he sleeps for 4 hour stretches until 10am. I don't understand this 45 minute nap at the beginning of the night but it happens EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!

When do yours wake up in the AM? How often do they wake at night to feed? How old  is yours?

What's worked for better sleep habits and what hasn't? Any good books on this? My guy struggles with naps and I'm convinced if we slept better at night, our naps wouldn't be so chaotic.

Answer

Almost 7wks
Bed at 9-10

Second wake 5-6
Back to bed within 30 min
Wake for morning at 9

Baby has bottle around 6.30,7pm doesnt go to sleep until around 8,8.30 and will sleep the night then up aound 6am or 7am...i am honestly really lucky hes been doing it since about 8weeks. Hes established hes own routine.

Answer

Most of my evenings look like this:
8:00 normal feeding and cuddles, varying nights we have a bath. 
11:00 feeding, cuddle and sleep. 
02:00 Quick feeding then straight to bed. 
0745 is about when he stirs to start the day again.

We've had a couple lucky nights where he's skipped his 2 am feed but that didn't last. He is 10 weeks today and breastfeeding like a champ!

Answer

Answer

12 weeks.  
7 pm swaddle, feed (even if she's eaten recently to top her off), a few songs and down with sound machine on rain noises (the white noise is key)
Before I go to sleep (usually around 11) I quietly pick her up and do a dream feed
Wakes at 7:30 am
We've had this schedule since 9 weeks. Try getting baby to bed earlier, just start really paying attention to what the schedule is and try to put baby down at your most convenient time. Try to adjust babies nap schedule to accommodate your desired sleep time by playing with them to keep them awake. Do not turn on lights when you go into their room, do not change diaper unless totally necessary. Find a way to distinguish between nap time and bed time, for us this us swaddling and noise machine. Good luck! It will get easier. More than likely if baby is "napping" during first portion of sleep, they're not ready for bed. Try to get naps to happen earlier in the day and keep baby up at least 2 hours before your desired bed time. You may deal with crying from an over tired baby for a week or so, but once they're out, it'll be because they need to be.

My son is 11 weeks. Around 8pm we start massage, bath, swaddle, bottle and book he is usually asleeo from 9pm-3am. Wakes for 30 mins for bottle and quick change- initially, I put him to sleep on his tummy (which has helped him
Stay asleep longerrrrr) and then 10 mins into it- I flip him onto his back. He stays asleep then from 330am-7/8am. I can't complain but try the massage and putting LO to sleep on tummy first then flip into back!

Answer

My girl is 12 weeks old now and started sleeping through the night at 10 wks old. I nurse her off and on from around 8 to 10 every night.  t's less about the amount of milk she gets and more about the comfort of being with me. Once she's really asleep (usually between 10 and 11) I put her in her rock and play and she sleeps until 7:30 or 8:00. Twice she's woken up at 5:30 and I got her back down by 6:30, we then both slept until 9.  Her naps during the day are all over the place but I'm definitely not complaining.

Answer

Mine use to sleep 4 hr stretches now is on 2 hr or 1 hr 😤😤😤😭

Answer

Around 9:30 she starts getting tired. So I start getting her ready for bed. Then she's asleep by 10-10:30. And she will sleep until around 5 and then I'll feed her and put her back to bed until 7. Then feed her again and then back to bed until 9. And then she's awake until 11 and then she takes short naps every hour hour and a half the rest of the day.

Answer

9 weeks. Massage, bath and feed before bed at 8pm. 1am feed and change. Another feed anywhere between 5.30- 6.30 and then up at 8.30ish.
