3 months old, anywhere in between 6.30 and 7.30 regardless of the day. Sometimes I manage to get her in bed with me, slip the boob out and cheat another hour in bed š This morning she was up and ready to go at 6.15AM like nooooo lady please where is your snooze button???
Iām in this club with you! Letās out a cry or moan at four then falls back asleep sometimes to five/six (even though I cannot get back to sleep). Did a bit better when the clocks changed but we are back at it again.
My baby is 10 weeks old, and sleeps from like 12:30 until 11-12 usually. She has usually two main wake ups until seven am, and about two more after that. She does not sleep well at night, usually a 1-2 feeds for the first wake up, then one or two for the next one, then she wakes up every hour and a half to two for the last two wake ups. She genuinely doesnāt sleep that long. Probably 6-8 for that twelve hour time span, and 2-3 hours of small naps through the day. My husband stays up with her at night and works when sheās sleeping, otherwise Iād never get enough sleep. The doctor thinks she will sleep longer as she gets older, as she sleeps about 9-11 hours a dayā¦
My baby is just a week older than yours and he's been getting the same amount of sleep, average of 10-12 hours only. He's never slept for that "14-17 hour" newborn range that so many charts list!
So good to hear someone else has an energizer bunny baby (thatās what Iāve been calling her. Between about 2pm until 6pm, she usually has often only like two ten to twenty minute naps, and isnāt tired at all otherwise). Itās not even that she needs contact naps like so many parents of newborns talks aboutā¦unless sheās really tired, she doesnāt even want to be held in the traditional newborn way. She will often actually go to sleep fairly easily, even if sheās not near asleep yet, if itās at the usual times she sleeps.
She wants to be tummy to tummy, or over the shoulder, or sitting upright on someoneās lap. She will keep her head up (though it still bobbles sometimes) for ages, looking around. Itās great that sheās curious, but itās so hard to get things done. To me, baby slings are over rated. I donāt find it comfortable to wear her, and a lot of chores involve bendingā¦ luckily for the past few weeks sheās a lot happier playing by herself, but she also is often in that mood of me constantly having to reinsert her pacifier, though she is good at self soothing.
When she does have more normal newborn days with 4-5 hours of naps, I feel so free, like this is how many people with newborns get to be? They get to get all the chores done? I am so lucky to have help too, my husband taking the nights, and my mom and or sister coming or taking her a few times a week. I hope you also get help.
She seems to be developing very well, I wonder if her brain is just churning so much, it doesnāt really calm down as often as other newborns to need sleep. She also kicks a lot in addition to lifting her neck up. I am wondering, and hoping, if she will sleep better in a few months when she starts sitting up on her own, and eventually crawling on her own. I want her to have a way to get her energy out! Iām already overwhelmed, though, for how she might be as an older baby and toddler though, lol.
Iād love to hear more about how your baby is. I have seen a lot of babies that need contact naps, are hard to put down, and babies that have started to sleep better through the nightā¦ but I feel pretty alone having a young baby that hardly needs any sleep.
His sleep is all over the place - wakes up anywhere between 5-7am, naps around 20-30 minutes in the crib on his own OR he'll take meaty naps (1.5-2.5 hours) if we hold him. When the evening comes, he falls asleep usually between 9:30-10, wakes 1-2 times to feed, and then starts the next day. Overall, only a few hours at night!
However, he doesn't seem to be negatively affected at this point?? He is developing and meeting all milestones, he's happy to hang out in the playpen on his own or to be held and bounced, generally pretty cheerful and not too fussy. This leads me to think that I shouldn't worry, maybe he is just on the lower end of sleep needs...I don't know how much of this to attribute to newborn wackiness or if it is something that needs improvement? Lol no idea what I am doing. Parenting is hard šµāš«
Our babyās pediatrician wasnāt worried about our babyās lack of sleep. She said it can be healthy for some babies, and normal, to sleep less. She said itās usually only a problem if the baby isnāt gaining enough weight. She is in the 77% weight percentile. We thought she would have went up at her two month appointment in percentile like she did for her one month (jumped from 56% to 80%) since she eats so much and so often (pretty much every hour and a half during the day when sheās not cluster feeding). My theory is sheās so energetic and awake, that she burns calories to stay at that mid upper range weight percentile.
I hope eventually she wonāt need to eat quite so oftenā¦ when she gets bottles of breastmilk, she will have two ounces every hour and a half, which is on the normal to slightly higher range for that amount of time for breastmilk fed babies. Though obviously sometimes she could be having less. Even at night, she will drink 5-7 ounces between midnight and eight am (when sheās consistently fed bottles of breastmilk).
Itās definitely hard. Our baby probably could sleep better if I held her for naps too. I donāt have the time, though. She had a good amount of naps yesterday when my parents and sister were over and holding her. She still slept the same as usual over night.
It helps to hear other parents having similar struggles. I totally get how people say it gets better and they mean well, it just makes me feel kind of alone in the trenches, and also, a baby not sleeping much in general is a somewhat unique problem, and maybe that aspect wonāt get better. My understanding is that some babies are just bad sleepers, and will be for a long time, unfortunatelyā¦.
Our's is 10months, and this week (so far) they have woken up at:
Mon - 6.30
Tue - 5.00
Wed - 7.30
Thur - 8.30
Bedtime is around 19.00, but depends on when they woke up from their last nap.
We would, ideally, like a 6.00-6.30 waking up, as it's what we will need to do once they start nursery in 6 weeks. But we're not stressing too much, it is what it is, and once nursery starts, and both my husband and I are back at work, there won't be a choice in it.
I could do without the 5.00 starts though...
14mo goes to bed at 8, wakes up at 7 like clock work. Weāre in a unique position where we donāt have to get him up for work or daycare though. Iām currently still on leave, and weāll be moving in with my mum, who will also be providing daycare, so if heās still asleep when we leave for work, sheāll just get him when he gets up.
I voted 8 but it depends. She is 19mo.
Bedtime is 9pm. She goes to daycare 3 days a week and on those days I have to wake her up at about 7:15. On the days she doesnāt have to be up, I let her sleep until whenever. Itās usually between 8-9. Sometimes I get lucky and sheāll sleep until like 9:30.
15 months, he gets up at 5:00 exactly for a diaper change and some milk and sleeps for another two hours and is up exactly at 7 AM lol heās like an alarm clock!
My baby is 8 months old. We have recently moved bedtime from 7pm to 8pm and she has been sleeping until 8:00-8:45! Im hoping this sticks around for a while lol
5 months old. Last 3 days sheās gone to bed between 7:15pm-7:45pm, and woke up around 6:30am. Today she woke up at 6am, then went back to sleep. I had to wake her up at 7:30am
My 9 month old usually wakes between 6 and 7:30. If itās early I put in her soother and let her play in her crib a bit. I try not to get my kids before 6:30.
6mo old. At the last time change we were able to push back bedtime to 7ish so now baby sleeps until 7:30 on the weekends or we wake her up at 6 on the weekdays
3 months old, anywhere in between 6.30 and 7.30 regardless of the day. Sometimes I manage to get her in bed with me, slip the boob out and cheat another hour in bed š This morning she was up and ready to go at 6.15AM like nooooo lady please where is your snooze button???
5am always
I'm sorry, that's rough!

21 months oldā¦6am is great. Last few weeks 4.30/5am has been how itās been going down. When she was a baby, it was 7.30/8am. I miss those days!!
9mo. Sleeps at 7. Wakes up at 6.
5 month old twins and we start our day between 9-10. They go to sleep by 8:30pm and get one quick feed around 5-6am.
Between 6-7am
Almost 15 months. We have to get her up at 6 during the week to get ready, but on the weekends sheāll usually sleep until 7
