Am i the only one who’s babies don’t sleep long?

Question

You can Call it envy!! I’ve seen soooo many posts about babies my twins ages (13 weeks) that are sleeping 6+ hours. That is a far fetched dream for us. Is anyone else’s little one only sleeping 1 1/2-3 hours at the longest? I’m exclusively breastfeeding and have for my other two but never remember these long stretches moms talk about until 1+. Also we co sleep if this makes a difference 🤷🏾‍♀️

Answer

Your not alone. Baby girl is going to be 11 weeks on 5th February. She will not sleep alone, if put in curb or moses basket, she will sleep at most 30 mins. She will not sleep without me, and when with me will sleep 4/5 hours and wakes for feeds. However she is awake between the hours of midnight and 5am, wide awake talking, just having 10 minute naps abiut 2/3 times between them times 😭

My baby is 14 weeks and I just started getting max 4-5 hours one stretch but usually 2.5-3.  I don’t know how these ebf kids are sleeping 8 plus hours at this age. I’m definitely jealous lol as I’ve been back to work for 3 weeks now.

Answer

13 weeks over here and we JUST started getting longer stretches. Prior to that, it was every 2-3 hours like clockwork

Answer

Nope I’m there with you! I keep hoping for some developmental thing to click but he’s 13 weeks note and nothing... I think I spent 1.5 hours last night walking him around our bedroom and trying aimlessly to putting him down. HELP!!

Answer

My guy is all over the place! He was consistently getting 4 hours starting around 730 to 8. Then usually 2 to 3 hour increments after that. Around 430 to 530 am he would need to be held to stay asleep. He was moving towards 5 hours for his first stretch. Then on Monday he did 6 hours. Ever since we've been up every hour to 2 hours. Fml. Often multiple times in an hours span.

Answer

Don’t hate me... I have an EBF good sleeper and the only thing I can think of is I watch her wake windows so she’s never over tired & feed her every 2.5-3 hours following her hunger cues, and she’s on a really good flexible schedule. 
BUT my first EBF baby was not a good sleeper & I didn’t pay attention to the wake windows and we just kind of winged it ... she was a little unpredictable & we were all over the place. 😅

Answer

My baby is 12 weeks on the 7th and he wakes up about every 1-2 hours. For a couple nights it seemed even more often than that. I exclusively breastfed and work hard to get his naps in during the day because if not he is a huge fuss! I think there has been two times or so where he has slept 4 hours but I don’t think any longer than that since birth. It is exhausting especially since my husband works so much and isn’t there to relieve me often. I keep just telling myself it’s temporary though and that helps. Hope we all get sleep soon!
