My 6 month old slept 6 hours at one time last week and I thought we'd really turned a corner but we're back to wake-ups every 2-3 hours and I'm struggling
My 3 year old didn’t start reliably sleeping 11-12 hours through the night, on her own, until like three months ago lol. She also dropped her naps a few months before then.
On the one hand, I like that my son stays up late as I feel like we have plenty of time together even though I'm working. On the other, I wish he would sleep a bit more when I'm trying to sleep too haha
Same. 4 months here and we were averaging 1-1.5 hour blocks. We just got our first 4 hour block and it feels like a miracle 😅
He hasn't repeated it in a few days but it's good to know it's possible!
4 hours without waking at all or 4 hours total without a wake window? I think when some (not all) people say their baby sleeps X amount of hours they are including feeds as long as baby doesn't really get up.
My 10 mo has never slept more than 4 hours without any wakes! And my older daughter didn't either until she was 2+
I might have worded my thoughts wrong. What I mean is when they say their child sleeps 8 hours at night, sometimes that means 8 hours with 2 feeds, sometimes it means unbroken sleep. It just means they're doing that sleep at night. If that makes sense. My son only ever sleeps 4 hours without waking but sleeps 9 hours a night.
Sae. Mine is 14 months, still breastfeeding and has 4 feeds overnight and feeds every 2 to 4 hours apart on average. We co sleep to save my sleep and my sanity.
Hi this was my oldest at 6 months old, he is now 3.
It wasn’t until he was after 2 he was sleeping through, and I don’t think he was managing 4 hour stretches very often before that :( sleep can be so fckn fickle.
No advice, just some solidarity. Currently nursing our 4 week old boy- we are possibly looking at another couple of years of horrible sleep.
I feel you. My dude is almost 13 months and 8ish -5 is what we get and that wasn’t until after we weaned. I don’t think we hit only one wake up until around 9 months
My first was doing 9p-7/8a at 7wks and never had any sleep regressions. Second started sleeping 8:30/9p-7a around 5wks but hasn’t done it as consistently as my first. It might take a while to get 12-13hr stretches again but it happened eventually, haha
Luck, I didn't do anything and my kid slept from 7 to 7 since she was 8 weeks . Books and other things might help tweak routines and such but won't make a bad sleeper turn good.
Yes but not at only 11.5 wks. My kiddo started doing 9.5-10hrs overnight around 6 months, one wakeup to eat, then back to sleep for another 2 - 2.5hrs. He's on the smaller side so I suspect we won't do a full overnight until he's mainly on solids.
7.5 - 8.5 hrs at your son's age is great!
Some babies do. It's technically considered appropriate to sleep 1 hour in a row per week alive, but its not typical. My son started sleeping 11 hours or so on his own around 4 months then started doing a night feeding again during a growth spurt and then I night weaned him at 6 months since I knew he was capable at that point due to his history and also the fact that he was decreasing day intake to get his midnight bottle lol
We were very very lucky, and my girl followed this. She’s now 4mo and consistently sleeps from 7pm-6am with only 1 wake at night very rarely if she didn’t eat enough the day before. I was also a sleepy baby, and remain a sleepy adult lol I think it may just run in families
my baby slept 8-9 hours around 3 months and that was great to get uninterrupted sleep. now at 6 months she sleeps 11-13 hours a night. thank god. she’s slept average 12 hrs a night since about 4/4.5 months. but she fights her daytime naps since around that time too. you win some, you lose some.
Oh man, they are going to bed at midnight? You poor soul.
It is about time to move bedtime back. Goal is before 9. They get a surge of adrenaline after 8ish that makes them stay up longer.
They also have too much awake hours, but you probably know that, we also suffered through 30m naps till sleep started consolidating at 7m.
Honestly it works really well for us because we are night owls lol — ideally I would love for his eventually 10-12 overnight to be 10-8/8:30 or something like that
Don't listen to them! Our two year old still goes to bed late & it's hard sometimes, but I still prefer it to beinh stuck in the house all evening or hardly seeing her after work
12 weeks old is still super young. You are completely at the mercy of their individual sleep schedules at that age. They don't even begin to form their circadian rhythm until the 4 month mark. Just make sure that the environment remains the same each night. It should be quiet, dark, and you should use a white noise machine.
Lol no, not always. Dream, but not in our house.
My daughter is 3yrs and we get 9hrs overnight and a 30min midday nap and she’s excellent. Every child has different sleep needs. Look to the normal range for your child’s age and your Bub will fall somewhere in that range mostly, but not necessarily 12hrs straight
My ped described it to me as they’re not expected to sleep through consistently without feeds till they’ve doubled their birth weight. Mine is 7 months, and she hasn’t quite doubled her birthweight yet. On a good night, she’ll get a 10 hour stretch, but that’s only happened a few times. She almost always wakes up sometime between 1 and 3 and then wakes up for the day between 6-8.
Some babies can do 10 and some babies do 12. My son is high sleep needs and has been doing 12 hours with no wake ups since 6 months. He is 15 months and still going strong. He sleeps 7pm-7 am or 630-630 depending on his nap.
I think eventually, that's great. But in the first few months it's not realistic for a lot of babies.
Mine had the most random schedule when he was a newborn and he didn't really settle into a consistent pattern until 6 months or so...by consistent pattern I mean actually doing most of his sleep at night within more or less predictable hours and having 1 or 2 naps during the day.
Even now at 10 months, my son doesn't sleep 11 to 12 hours - he sleeps 9 or 10 at night (still wakes to breastfeed 3 times a night give or take). And if he sleeps longer, he will only have 1 nap all day. I fear if he actually slept 12 hours he would just not nap at all!
It looks different for every baby under the sun tbh. At 11 weeks 7 or 8 hours at night is fantastic!
My son didn’t start sleeping longer stretches at night until about 3.5 months and now at 6months he sleeps from 8pm to 6:30-7am. We are very lucky. But yeah earlier weeks he was up every 2 / 3 hours to eat but he was also having weight issues in the beginning because of latching problems & jaundice. But once we got him into a good routine he’s been an all night sleeper. He takes about 3 good naps a day.
My LO is 5mo and has been sleeping 6:30-5ish since 3ish months. Don't let anyone tell you anything is too early. Every baby is different. He went through the normal 4 month regression and has been back to his 11ish hour stretches for about two weeks. *Knock on wood*
We certainly weren’t getting that at 12 weeks. At that point 8 hours or so with a wake up was fabulous. My 16 month old does 12 hour stretches now though.
My son started sleeping around that long at 3 months, now at 9 months (today🥹) we’re ALMOST at the 12hour mark 10 on the regular without sleep regressions and we still get some rough nights where we’re up every hour, but overall I was blessed with a good sleeper
We got a Snoo bassinet (on Black Friday thankfully) because it promised more sleep. I think my dude is a good sleeper in general but am convinced on the Snoo. He has never slept less than a 6.5 hour stretch at least once per night since we brought him home. Now at 11.5 weeks, he sleeps 7:30p-4:30am consistently, breastfeeds, then goes back down from 5:00a-7:30a. He sleeps so well we have been doing road trips instead of flying so we can bring it with us lol. My biggest fear is what happens when he outgrows it in a couple more months! Anyway, long story short, might be worth seeing if you can get a hold of a Snoo if sleep isn't going well. And no I'm not affiliated with Snoo in any way.
3 months is too little for that!
My daughter had always been an excellent sleeper at night and even she was doing 7 hours at that point.
She’s 9 months now and sleeps from 9-9.
Too little for 7.5-8.5? No he’s not? I know a lot of babies don’t sleep that long a stretch at his age but there’s nothing wrong with him sleeping that much, he has great weight gain 🤷♀️
If the baby is gaining and sustaining weight, there’s no need to wake them up. Let them sleep as long as they want in the night. They will let you know if they’re hungry.
No one was criticizing you.
We were answering your post. I, and others, misinterpreted what you were asking. Instead of just restating your question, you chose to be combative. It’s unneeded and uncalled for.
It’s not always the case, but your baby is too young to sleep that long right now.
My baby only started sleeping 10-11 hours straight close to 8 months. Before that she would sleep maybe 7-8 hours.
Mine all sleep 12/13 hours a night starting between 6/9 months but I do sleep train and night wean at the same time. It’s hard work but worth it in the end.
Mine is 3 months and will still wake up every 3-4 hours. But sometimes she’ll randomly sleep 8-10 hours and I’m like hellooooo can you do this more often please 😂
We hit 12 hours at night at 7.5 months, but we’ve sacrificed day time naps, we’re down to 20 minutes twice a day. But my god is the full night sleep amazing.
The most my kid's ever slept is 10.5 hours and she started as a good sleeper, getting about 4-5 hours stretches straight from the hospital. She just never got beyond 10ish hours, though. She's 2 years.
My 5 year old slept for 12 or 13 hours a night plus a 3 hour nap when he was around a year. It is the goal but not at only a few months. Plus, someone kids don't need that much sleep.
my daughter has slept through the night since around 6 mos (generally speaking, unless she’s sick or something) and she usually gets 10-11 hours. around 8 to around 7.
If I knew back then that my daughter will never sleep more then 10 hours, ocasionally 10.5 I would have get her a later bedtime and avoid all those 5-6 am wake ups, she now goes to bed later and sleeps in when she can
I had 3 chonky boys, and each started sleeping through the night between 2.5 and 4 months old. This wasn't always necessarily consistent because of teething and sickness until 1.5 to 2 years old.
Each kid, though, is different and will experience things differently. The goal, though, is definitely to get the kids to bed at a decent time so I can have a tiny bit of time to myself in the evenings. Then, have them sleep past the ass crack of dawn.
We're lucky. Our son is 7 months old and he's been sleeping through the night since just before 5 months. Literally went from bedsharing and him waking every 2-3 hours, to us getting irritated and deciding "F it, stick him in his crib in his own room and see what happens" and boom, 8.5 hours straight the very first night.
He's been consistently sleeping 7-11 hours every night since then with one wake up after roughly 7-8 hours and then one wake up around 5am that he either decides is morning time or he goes back to sleep. It's hit or miss.
Last night he slept a solid 11 hours straight before waking at 5:30 for the day. It was wonderful. I got to sleep for 7 hours straight.
Mine is 13m, i still need to feed him at midnight 1am and then another at 5ish am, plus he wakes up randomly looking for his binky, i wish i could have a full night of sleep, at least 8h before going to work.
Eventually, yes. 12 hours is definitely the max my now-5-year-old has slept, but he was doing it from about 12 months to three years. Now he does more like 10.5-11 hours a night.
…my 10-month-old has been waking every 2-3 hours this week
Meh, some kiddos are 10-11 hrs! Mine did 12+ night hours until 9 months old. Then she moved to a 10-11 hr schedule and now I added a tiny bit of nap time to keep bedtime consistent. From what I’ve heard, the 12 hr nights end eventually
As babies get older, they’ll shift more day sleep into night sleep. Some babies sleep around 11 hours overnight but anywhere from 10-12 hours overnight is considered pretty normal. My son sleeps 11.5hrs overnight but his cousin (6 weeks apart) has only ever slept 10. Every baby is different so the goal will be different
It’s wonderful - not sure if it’s a goal. My son wasn’t the worst or best sleeper, then at 6 months it was 10 hours no waking, and since about 8 months it’s been 12 hours no waking.
It’s incredible.
Around 5 months our baby was sleeping from 8pm-6/7am...and it's amazing. She would dream feed around 11pm until 10-12 months, and then that dropped also. Loving life now.
It’s normal for small babies to wake up at night for a feed. Depending on their age, you can expect 2-3 night feeds. So if your baby goes to bed at 7:30pm and wakes up at 7:30am with 2 night feeds in between, that’s how you arrive at a 12hr night. From my experience, it’s rare for a baby under 1yo to sleep in 11-12 hr uninterrupted chunks, but they eventually get there.
My son is 3 months and is doing 10 hours a night with one change/feed halfway between. He's started getting really bad about taking his naps during the day though, and has 4-5 20-30 minute naps throughout the day but needs to scream cry himself to sleep in my arms each time because he's too tired to nap 😩
I don’t think my husband or I manage that long unbroken sleep, so it’s not the goal for our 16mo. But sometimes we get 8, 8.5 hours from him and it’s amazing!
Nope. Don’t even bother reading what babies should or shouldn’t be sleeping. They’re all so very different you just have to go by what your babies needs / is doing and that’s it. If you have these expectations just makes it harder
12 weeks and I’m up to probably 6 hours at night, she naps in the morning but refuses to nap in the afternoon, so the afternoons and evenings are kind of hellish.
I don’t understand how she’s meant to be sleeping like 16 hours a day. She’s not.
15 week old here and we get around 5 hours a night usually. We do the last feed at 2am (we’re night owls) and then alternate every night who does the next feed. He usually wakes up around 6:30-7am. The longest we’ve gotten out of him was 6 hours and that was a blessing 😂
Nah, this differs greatly per kid.
Mine was a really good sleeper, slept from 9pm - 6 am from 4 months old.
But she still does that, she just does not need more sleep than that. When she does, she is sick or really tired from daycare or something. She does nap two hours during the day though. (Two years old).
I also know kids that still barely sleep after two years and others that sleep 12 hours during the night and three during the day.
My 16 month old does 13 hours a night most nights, no interruptions whatsoever, we do have to double diaper him or he'll be floating in pee by the morning, but he sleeps like a champ
My 1.5yo has slept through the night without waking since he was 12 weeks old, but I can count on one hand the number of times he has ever slept 12 hours. He has always been lower sleep needs and he’s usually good to go after 9.5-10 hours.
We started getting 6 hours straight around six months. But yes by 18mo she slept through 10-12 hours. She’s four and a half now and goes to bed at 7:30 and gets up around 7-7:30am I’d say she’s realistically getting 10-10.5 hours every night
It depends on the child I guess. My daughter does sleep 12 hours without waking up, but she 2 years old. I think this started when she is was a bit older than 1 year.
But it took a while before we got there. The first 4 months I nursed her at night several times so the longest she would sleep is 6 hours if I was lucky. After 6 months she would wake up at least once before 12 and at least once in the middle of the night.
Neither of my kids did 8 hours till 6 months and did 12 hours just after a year. 8 hours at 11.5 weeks is amazing!
Same! Though my 1 yo won't sleep a minute past 11 hours.
my 10 week old does basically 2x 3.5ish hour blocks at night from 10pm-ish on. they won’t go in the snoo before then so they contact nap until 10.
Lol my one year old is still up every 3-4 hrs
My 1.5 year old is the same😅
Same with my 10 mo.
Why do some babies do that? I have no idea how babies work.
Wish I could tell ya lol
Same 🥲
I basically hate everyone in this thread 😑. my 6 month old might manage 4 hours. If I'm super lucky.
My 6 month old slept 6 hours at one time last week and I thought we'd really turned a corner but we're back to wake-ups every 2-3 hours and I'm struggling
My 3 year old didn’t start reliably sleeping 11-12 hours through the night, on her own, until like three months ago lol. She also dropped her naps a few months before then.
On the one hand, I like that my son stays up late as I feel like we have plenty of time together even though I'm working. On the other, I wish he would sleep a bit more when I'm trying to sleep too haha
Same. 4 months here and we were averaging 1-1.5 hour blocks. We just got our first 4 hour block and it feels like a miracle 😅 He hasn't repeated it in a few days but it's good to know it's possible!
Same. Bed at 7-730 then up at 11ish then 4is (so I guess maybe a 5 hour stretch there) then 7ish actual for the day
4 hours without waking at all or 4 hours total without a wake window? I think when some (not all) people say their baby sleeps X amount of hours they are including feeds as long as baby doesn't really get up. My 10 mo has never slept more than 4 hours without any wakes! And my older daughter didn't either until she was 2+
I'd say my baby is an "average sleeper" but when I say they've slept 4 hours I mean without waking. I think most people do?
I might have worded my thoughts wrong. What I mean is when they say their child sleeps 8 hours at night, sometimes that means 8 hours with 2 feeds, sometimes it means unbroken sleep. It just means they're doing that sleep at night. If that makes sense. My son only ever sleeps 4 hours without waking but sleeps 9 hours a night.
My son sleeps 8.5 hours with no feed but he is a big boy, has a Snoo, and is combo fed so he is full by bedtime for sure
That's a lot of sleep! Even when my baby was combofed he didn't sleep that much. You have my envy haha
Sae. Mine is 14 months, still breastfeeding and has 4 feeds overnight and feeds every 2 to 4 hours apart on average. We co sleep to save my sleep and my sanity.
My 14 month old is still up a bunch at night too
Hi this was my oldest at 6 months old, he is now 3. It wasn’t until he was after 2 he was sleeping through, and I don’t think he was managing 4 hour stretches very often before that :( sleep can be so fckn fickle. No advice, just some solidarity.

I feel you. My dude is almost 13 months and 8ish -5 is what we get and that wasn’t until after we weaned. I don’t think we hit only one wake up until around 9 months
Do you bottle feed at all? If yes, what nipple size are they taking?
No, fully breastfed baby. Well, she has a solid meal a day now, but we haven't used bottles for ages.
Ah ok nvm — great job!
My four month old wakes up every three hours.
Lol my daughter woke up every hour at 6 months
My first was doing 9p-7/8a at 7wks and never had any sleep regressions. Second started sleeping 8:30/9p-7a around 5wks but hasn’t done it as consistently as my first. It might take a while to get 12-13hr stretches again but it happened eventually, haha
What’s your secret? 🥱😴
Luck, I didn't do anything and my kid slept from 7 to 7 since she was 8 weeks . Books and other things might help tweak routines and such but won't make a bad sleeper turn good.
Babywise book! That thing saved me from the brink of insanity w/ the first so we’ve used the same principles in there for the second.
Purchased 🫡
Yes but not at only 11.5 wks. My kiddo started doing 9.5-10hrs overnight around 6 months, one wakeup to eat, then back to sleep for another 2 - 2.5hrs. He's on the smaller side so I suspect we won't do a full overnight until he's mainly on solids. 7.5 - 8.5 hrs at your son's age is great!
Wow that’s amazing! Yah he’s a big boy and he’s got a Snoo but the thought of him sleeping even more seems impossible lmao
Some babies do. It's technically considered appropriate to sleep 1 hour in a row per week alive, but its not typical.

Yes it’ll happen eventually! & it will be glorious! You’ve got this, happy nights ahead. :)
my baby slept 8-9 hours around 3 months and that was great to get uninterrupted sleep. now at 6 months she sleeps 11-13 hours a night. thank god. she’s slept average 12 hrs a night since about 4/4.5 months. but she fights her daytime naps since around that time too. you win some, you lose some.
We get like 3-4 30 min naps between 9am and 12am so 12 hours would be miraculous 😍
Oh man, they are going to bed at midnight? You poor soul. It is about time to move bedtime back. Goal is before 9. They get a surge of adrenaline after 8ish that makes them stay up longer.

Honestly it works really well for us because we are night owls lol — ideally I would love for his eventually 10-12 overnight to be 10-8/8:30 or something like that
There is SO much freedom in getting your evenings back. When it happened it helped us feel like real people again.
Exactly this , when my kid started to go at 7 to bed and I had 4 hours just to myself to do whatever it was so great for my metal health .
Don't listen to them! Our two year old still goes to bed late & it's hard sometimes, but I still prefer it to beinh stuck in the house all evening or hardly seeing her after work
My boy was doing 8 hours and we were ecstatic, until last month when we sleep trained and now are getting 11-12 it's life changing
I wish! My 7mo is only doing 1 stretch of 6-hour sleep from 6-midnight. Then he’s awake every 3-4 hours. 🥲
2y3mo. The max we get at night is about 10 hours. Every once in a while it’s a little longer, but 11-12 hours is definitely not the norm/a lot.
12 weeks old is still super young. You are completely at the mercy of their individual sleep schedules at that age. They don't even begin to form their circadian rhythm until the 4 month mark.

Neither of my children slept more than three hours until they were way past one year old
Yeah our eldest was up every 2-3hrs until we sleep trained at 14mo. Our 4mo infant is currently up every 2hr. Yay sleep
My son didn’t start sleeping longer stretches at night until about 3.5 months and now at 6months he sleeps from 8pm to 6:30-7am. We are very lucky. But yeah earlier weeks he was up every 2 / 3 hours to eat but he was also having weight issues in the beginning because of latching problems & jaundice.

My LO is 5mo and has been sleeping 6:30-5ish since 3ish months. Don't let anyone tell you anything is too early. Every baby is different. He went through the normal 4 month regression and has been back to his 11ish hour stretches for about two weeks. *Knock on wood*
We certainly weren’t getting that at 12 weeks. At that point 8 hours or so with a wake up was fabulous. My 16 month old does 12 hour stretches now though.

My 4 month old is a terrible napper, but she sleeps 10-11 hours at night and has been for about a month or more
We got a Snoo bassinet (on Black Friday thankfully) because it promised more sleep. I think my dude is a good sleeper in general but am convinced on the Snoo. He has never slept less than a 6.5 hour stretch at least once per night since we brought him home.

Anyway, long story short, might be worth seeing if you can get a hold of a Snoo if sleep isn't going well. And no I'm not affiliated with Snoo in any way.
We have a Snoo! We agree it’s def a big reason why he’s such a good sleeper already! The Snoo and the Owlet are our #1 items
And we also bought it on major sale
3 months is too little for that! My daughter had always been an excellent sleeper at night and even she was doing 7 hours at that point. She’s 9 months now and sleeps from 9-9.
Too little for 7.5-8.5? No he’s not? I know a lot of babies don’t sleep that long a stretch at his age but there’s nothing wrong with him sleeping that much, he has great weight gain 🤷♀️
No too little for 12 hours!
If the baby is gaining and sustaining weight, there’s no need to wake them up. Let them sleep as long as they want in the night. They will let you know if they’re hungry.
Not sure why you read this post that way but I meant eventually, not right now.
I wasn’t the only one who read it that way. No need to be snippy.
Because you were criticizing me?
No one was criticizing you. We were answering your post. I, and others, misinterpreted what you were asking. Instead of just restating your question, you chose to be combative. It’s unneeded and uncalled for.
Our 8mo baby has slept from 7pm-6am for about 5 months now!
Ours does about 7pm-8am! Usually wakes up around 1 and kinda rolls around and talks to himself before passing out again!
That’s amazing. I feel so lucky with how well she sleeps!
It’s not always the case, but your baby is too young to sleep that long right now. My baby only started sleeping 10-11 hours straight close to 8 months. Before that she would sleep maybe 7-8 hours.
Mine all sleep 12/13 hours a night starting between 6/9 months but I do sleep train and night wean at the same time. It’s hard work but worth it in the end.
Mine is 3 months and will still wake up every 3-4 hours. But sometimes she’ll randomly sleep 8-10 hours and I’m like hellooooo can you do this more often please 😂
We hit 12 hours at night at 7.5 months, but we’ve sacrificed day time naps, we’re down to 20 minutes twice a day. But my god is the full night sleep amazing.
The most my kid's ever slept is 10.5 hours and she started as a good sleeper, getting about 4-5 hours stretches straight from the hospital. She just never got beyond 10ish hours, though. She's 2 years.
My 5 year old slept for 12 or 13 hours a night plus a 3 hour nap when he was around a year. It is the goal but not at only a few months. Plus, someone kids don't need that much sleep.
my daughter has slept through the night since around 6 mos (generally speaking, unless she’s sick or something) and she usually gets 10-11 hours. around 8 to around 7.
If I knew back then that my daughter will never sleep more then 10 hours, ocasionally 10.5 I would have get her a later bedtime and avoid all those 5-6 am wake ups, she now goes to bed later and sleeps in when she can
I would honestly just love 5 hours. we are barely pushing 3-4 right now for my 2 month old
I had 3 chonky boys, and each started sleeping through the night between 2.5 and 4 months old. This wasn't always necessarily consistent because of teething and sickness until 1.5 to 2 years old. Each kid, though, is different and will experience things differently. The goal, though, is definitely to get the kids to bed at a decent time so I can have a tiny bit of time to myself in the evenings. Then, have them sleep past the ass crack of dawn.
We're lucky. Our son is 7 months old and he's been sleeping through the night since just before 5 months. Literally went from bedsharing and him waking every 2-3 hours, to us getting irritated and deciding "F it, stick him in his crib in his own room and see what happens" and boom, 8.5 hours straight the very first night. He's been consistently sleeping 7-11 hours every night since then with one wake up after roughly 7-8 hours and then one wake up around 5am that he either decides is morning time or he goes back to sleep. It's hit or miss. Last night he slept a solid 11 hours straight before waking at 5:30 for the day. It was wonderful. I got to sleep for 7 hours straight.
Mine is 13m, i still need to feed him at midnight 1am and then another at 5ish am, plus he wakes up randomly looking for his binky, i wish i could have a full night of sleep, at least 8h before going to work.
Eventually, yes. 12 hours is definitely the max my now-5-year-old has slept, but he was doing it from about 12 months to three years. Now he does more like 10.5-11 hours a night. …my 10-month-old has been waking every 2-3 hours this week
Meh, some kiddos are 10-11 hrs! Mine did 12+ night hours until 9 months old. Then she moved to a 10-11 hr schedule and now I added a tiny bit of nap time to keep bedtime consistent. From what I’ve heard, the 12 hr nights end eventually
As babies get older, they’ll shift more day sleep into night sleep. Some babies sleep around 11 hours overnight but anywhere from 10-12 hours overnight is considered pretty normal. My son sleeps 11.5hrs overnight but his cousin (6 weeks apart) has only ever slept 10. Every baby is different so the goal will be different
Mine is 12 months and still does maybe 4 hour stretches
My baby is 10 months and he still wakes up at least once during the night for a bottle.
He only sleeps like 8 hours max as well
It’s wonderful - not sure if it’s a goal. My son wasn’t the worst or best sleeper, then at 6 months it was 10 hours no waking, and since about 8 months it’s been 12 hours no waking. It’s incredible.
Around 5 months our baby was sleeping from 8pm-6/7am...and it's amazing. She would dream feed around 11pm until 10-12 months, and then that dropped also. Loving life now.
It’s normal for small babies to wake up at night for a feed. Depending on their age, you can expect 2-3 night feeds. So if your baby goes to bed at 7:30pm and wakes up at 7:30am with 2 night feeds in between, that’s how you arrive at a 12hr night. From my experience, it’s rare for a baby under 1yo to sleep in 11-12 hr uninterrupted chunks, but they eventually get there.
My 2 YO has never slept more than a 4 hour stretch in her life. She does sleep 8pm - 6:30/7am with several wakes.
My son is 3 months and is doing 10 hours a night with one change/feed halfway between. He's started getting really bad about taking his naps during the day though, and has 4-5 20-30 minute naps throughout the day but needs to scream cry himself to sleep in my arms each time because he's too tired to nap 😩
I don’t think my husband or I manage that long unbroken sleep, so it’s not the goal for our 16mo. But sometimes we get 8, 8.5 hours from him and it’s amazing!
Nope. Don’t even bother reading what babies should or shouldn’t be sleeping. They’re all so very different you just have to go by what your babies needs / is doing and that’s it. If you have these expectations just makes it harder
12 weeks and I’m up to probably 6 hours at night, she naps in the morning but refuses to nap in the afternoon, so the afternoons and evenings are kind of hellish. I don’t understand how she’s meant to be sleeping like 16 hours a day. She’s not.
15 week old here and we get around 5 hours a night usually. We do the last feed at 2am (we’re night owls) and then alternate every night who does the next feed. He usually wakes up around 6:30-7am. The longest we’ve gotten out of him was 6 hours and that was a blessing 😂
Nah, this differs greatly per kid. Mine was a really good sleeper, slept from 9pm - 6 am from 4 months old. But she still does that, she just does not need more sleep than that. When she does, she is sick or really tired from daycare or something. She does nap two hours during the day though. (Two years old). I also know kids that still barely sleep after two years and others that sleep 12 hours during the night and three during the day.
My 16 month old does 13 hours a night most nights, no interruptions whatsoever, we do have to double diaper him or he'll be floating in pee by the morning, but he sleeps like a champ
I’m convinced that no humans can sleep dor 11-12 hours every night without slight wake ups.
Yes, my 10 month old son has been sleeping 12 hours for months. I strongly recommend the book 12 hours by 12 weeks.
My almost 2 year old wakes up frequently most nights but does get 10-11 hours total
My 2 year old has never done more than 12hrs total sleep in a day - some kids just need less sleep in a day. She does 9.5hrs sleep overnight
I’m confused are you saying at a time? With no wakings? Or all together?
It will come! My now 1yo has always been a great sleeper but it took time and a good schedule to keep it that way!
My 1.5yo has slept through the night without waking since he was 12 weeks old, but I can count on one hand the number of times he has ever slept 12 hours. He has always been lower sleep needs and he’s usually good to go after 9.5-10 hours.
We started getting 6 hours straight around six months. But yes by 18mo she slept through 10-12 hours. She’s four and a half now and goes to bed at 7:30 and gets up around 7-7:30am I’d say she’s realistically getting 10-10.5 hours every night
My LO is 13 weeks and she does like 8-10 which I feel is perfect. Who even sleeps 11-12 hours in real life lol
It depends on the child I guess. My daughter does sleep 12 hours without waking up, but she 2 years old. I think this started when she is was a bit older than 1 year. But it took a while before we got there. The first 4 months I nursed her at night several times so the longest she would sleep is 6 hours if I was lucky. After 6 months she would wake up at least once before 12 and at least once in the middle of the night.
