When did your EBF baby sleep?!

Question

Like. Seriously. She’s 14 weeks old and still gets up about every 60-90 minutes at night.
When. Will. She. Sleep. 😫
We had these glorious three nights where she slept in glorious 3-4 hour stretches. GLORIOUS. For 3 nights. The end! 
SEND HELP! Lol

Answer

My first never did. I had to sleep train him at 6 months because I was, literally, losing my sanity.

Answer

Feel your pain! Our little guy was very similar at that age. Swaddle sacks and starting a good nightime routine was a good stepping stone for us (white noise, dark room, boob and books), but he still woke a lot to feed. Around 5.5 months we moved him from the bassinet to his own crib/room, that helped a bit. Around 7 months we hired a sleep consultant to help (I'm hesitant to mention sleep training as it's such a contentious topic on this app), but now at almost 9 months he usually sleeps 8 or 9 hours from the time we put him down at bedtime to his one feed at around 3:30/4am. It's been a gamechanger. 
It will get better! Of course there are still ups and downs, this past week he was sick so more night feeds and rocking, and daylight savings has had him waking up at 5 😩, but consistency and routine have been our best friends. Stay strong, you got this!

Answer

My son is almost 11 months and the longest he will go most times is about 4 hrs. 😩

Answer

Mine was down to one overnight feeding by two months... EBF and she’s also pretty little (15th percentile) but just likes to sleep. It’s just luck. I’m sorry your babe keeps you up!!
We did work on putting her down awake and waiting a few minutes when she started fussing to see if she’s go back to bed, so at this point she can fall asleep independently. She’s four months now (17 weeks) and we’re starting some gentle sleep training methods for naps now.

Answer

That is really frequent mama. Taking Cara Babies has a great course for the 3-4 month stage to help you space out those night wakings. It can be hard to know if baby is snacking or really does need to eat that frequently. Good luck mama. It will get better!

Answer

Oh bro, my daughter didn't start sleeping through the night until she was 18 months, ironically when I stopped nursing.

Answer

Mine is almost 5 months and still not sleeping through the night. On a good night hes up 2-3 times. :(

Answer

My 8 week old Is sleeping 5-7 hours with one feeding/changing then another 2-3 hour stretch . She’s been doing this since like week 4!

Answer

My breastfed, almost two year old started sleeping a 4 hour stretch at the beginning of the night at like...a year? Then after the 4 hours he wakes up ever 90 minutes to 2 hours. Well maybe the the last month or so he has had some random 6 hour chunks which have been amaaaazing but yeah. Being a mom is exhausting as fuck lol
