I'm starting to think I'm alone here.... is everyone's 5month old sleeping all night until morning?? My little guy sleeps from 8-8 and is up at 11, 2, 4 and 6. By 2am I pull him in bed with me. 
What are your secrets????? 😢😘

Answer

My baby started sleeping through the night out of no where at 20 weeks. We didn't change anything... it just happened. He will sleep 10 hour stretches! He goes to bed around 7 and wakes up at 5 and will often go back to bed after a feeding at 5 am until about 7am. During the day, once he has been awake for 1.5/2 hours I put him down for a nap. He will sleep any where from 30 minutes to 2 hours with very little consistency. Upon waking he gets a diaper change and a bottle. I also get be him a small bottle before nap time. He normally only eats an once or two before he falls asleep. My girl friend gave me great advise and she said "The more they sleep, the more they sleep" meaning the more he sleeps during the day the better he sleeps at night and for us it has been true.

At around 7:30- 8:30 we start the bedtime routine. Getting into PJ's, changing his diaper, turning off the tv, lights low/off, and a bottle before bed. Then we put him in his rock and play and he either talks himself to sleep or drifts off on his own. Last night he slept all night from 9:00 to 6 am. Most nights he falls asleep from 8:30-9:00 and wakes up once for a quick feed and then goes right back to sleep until around 6 am. The key for us was consistency in  setting the mood for bed time. No distractions, no loud noise, new diaper and full belly. We've been doing this since he was two months old and it's really paying off.

My baby goes to bed around 8:45 and gets up around 11, 2, and 5. It's terrible. Lol he used to sleep through the night. Idk what happened

Answer

We also started sleep training last week, he's taken to it really well. He falls asleep on his own in 5-10min max. I have a feeling he prob still wakes up at night but now can get himself back to sleep instead of relying on me nursing him to sleep

Answer

My son sleeps 12 hrs but I feed him 3 times in the night. It doesn't bother me though, I barely wake up, feed him and then he's back in his crib. I don't change diapers in the night and he sleeps 1ft away from me in a side crib.

Answer

Mine had been sleeping through the night 8-8 since he was 2.5 months maybe a bit before then. And now it's 7-7 for the last week, he made that choice of his own lol

Answer

My baby has been sleeping through the night since 12 weeks. We do our last feed 15 minutes before bed. He has his off nights, I end up co sleeping when he can't go back to sleep on those nights.

Answer

Check out BabyWise. I loosely played with it but it's very structured schedules, feeding and napping. I exclusively pump so I know how many ounces she's getting, but I get all of her ounces in during the day and always at the same time, a nap shortly after, and bedtime around the same time every night. The last couple of bottles were like a cluster feed, so within a couple of hours of each other, she was good and full for bedtime. She took to it really well and has been sleeping thru the night since 12 weeks. We've loosened up on it and she's actually going to bed earlier than ever, like 7:30-8pm and is up around 8am.
