Anyone else’s baby sleeping poorly thru the night?

Question

It seems like everyone’s baby is sleeping at least 3-4 hours a night. I’m lucky if mine sleeps 2 hours at a time— he’ll wake up at an hour and a half to an hour and 50 minutes tops! He’s coming on 6 weeks this Friday. Same during the day. He averages about 12 hours of sleep in 24 hours.
I’m not sure what to do. Anyone else?

Answer

You’re not doing anything wrong ❤️ baby sleep will be all over the place for a little while until they get their circadian rhythm. Some people are lucky with good sleepers (this was me with my first born), and some babies take time to sleep longer stretches (this was my second born). I have my third baby now and some nights she’ll sleep 5 hours eat and then another 5, and some nights she’s up every 2-3 hours. It’ll regulate soon mama. Keep in mind the growth spurts and development leaps!

Answer

Both my kids started 3/4 hour stretches at 8 weeks. Two weeks ago was literal hell, bany was feeding nonstop and sleeping only 1/2 hours. Leap number two happens right before two months and it does make a huge difference in newborn cognition... you get those first social smiles, longer sleeps etc.

Answer

You’re not alone . Currently stuck up right now with my baby boy & I’m so tired

Answer

We woke up every single hour last night. Usually it’s 20-30min of sleep then FUSS. 🤦🏽‍♀️😩😭

Answer

Might just be your child, my first one has always been a horrible sleeper, he is 4 and still not the greatest haha

Answer

I’m only getting 2-2:30 most nights. Mine is 7 weeks old. She eats this frequently during the day, too. I could survive better if she didn’t keep me up all night wiggling around!

Answer

OMG I’m glad someone asked this cos I’m having the same problem here 😫 my boy won’t sleep at night and even though he finishes 3oz of milk he will only sleep an hour. We are currently 6 weeks 4 days last 2 nights were tough, he fell asleep not longer than 30 minutes and woke up crying. I don’t know when will sleep longer at night, I just want to know I’m not alone and will this get better? Or we are doing something wrong that make him refuses to sleep at night.

Answer

We’re at 3 hours between the start of feedings, which is about 2 hours of sleep. But last night we went one stretch of 5 hours between feedings, so about 4 hours of sleep!! We’re at 6 weeks 2 days.

Answer

My girl just started to sleep longer stretches at night at like 7 1/2 weeks! Hang in there ❤️

Answer

Same here. He wants to feed constantly too. Getting very frustrated and exhausted.
