What is everyones baby sleeping and how?

Question

My girl is almost 7 weeks and still waking up every 2-3 hours to eat, it takes about an hour to get her back down. 
We use no light, white noise, transition swaddle so she can have her arms up. 
How old is everyones baby, how much are they sleeping, and what are they doing to help them sleep?
Does it get better or do I just have a baby who doesnt like to sleep???

Answer

My baby is 9 weeks and sleeps through the night. Depending on him and when hes ready to fall asleep for the night he's been going down anywhere between 7-8:30. I don't like to keep him up later than that cause mommy is tired too 🤷‍♀️ lol. He'll wake up normally from 4am-5am to feed and then will go back down til anywhere from 7am-9am. Sometimes he'll sleep in his halo sleep sack with his arms swaddled but he always breaks them free. Lately ive been putting him in a sleep sack with the arms free so he can be more comfy. I just make sure before bed to change him, and give him a nice big bottle and a burp and take him into the dark room and lay him down with white noise or ocean sounds

Answer

My baby is 8 weeks and is on the exact same schedule as yours. I'm waiting for the night in which I'll be able to sleep for more than 3 hours at a time. So, I feel ya, I'm in the same boat.

Answer

Mine sleeps from 5-6 hours and wants to wake up to eat and goes back to sleep with his sounds machine on. Every baby is different. 
My first one was in the NICU so him coming home was very hard for him to sleep with no sound from the machines. I played beeping sounds from the NICU for 2 weeks with slowly turning the sounds down every 2-3 days. 
Once they eat more they sleep longer. Mine is only taking 5-6 oz during the day but is a lazy eater at night and only does 4- 4 1/2 at night and falls asleep again. So he only wakes up to get some food in his tummy to go back to sleep. 
Good luck it gets better mama.

Answer

Is she getting enough to eat during her feedings? My son was having this problem and my pediatrician recommended increasing his formula and it has worked like a charm. He was eating every 2 hours and waking every 2. Last night for the first time he slept 4 whole hours at a time and very sleepy during the night after he ate.

Answer

My baby is almost 7 weeks and sounds a lot like yours. Sometimes she will go up to 5 hours between feeding/basically 4-4 1/2 hours sleeping but most nights she eats every 3 hours. I've heard they will sleep better if you feed more frequently during the day, so I plan on trying that and starting a bed time routine.

Answer

My LO is 9 weeks and up until last week would be up every 2-3 hours for a feed (formula). However, last week we upped her formula to 5 ounces as she had been finishing her bottles and suddenly she started sleeping 4/5 hours. So she goes down now around 8-9pm, wakes up for a feed at 12-1am then 4-5am. Then is wide awake at around 8am. We moved her cot into our room at the recommendation of our health visitor as she didn’t like the Moses basket anymore and that seems to have helped. We also used to swaddle her until last week but she happened to throw up on her swaddle suit one night so I put her in one of those duvet suit things instead and it literally made no difference to her sleep so I’ve just carried on not swaddling her anymore.

Answer

My LO was a 36 weeker, shes 3 months and a little over a week old, we were cosleeping until last week and she would be up every 3 to 4 hours, now that shes in her bassinet she sleeps anywhere from 4 to 7 hours!

Answer

I’m in the same exact boat as you. My daughter will be 7 weeks tomorrow and is still waking every 3 hours to eat, waking more these past few nights due to gas. She hates being swaddled and not in-control of her limbs, so she wakes herself up constantly.

Answer

I could have written this post! Same boat
