Then we will sleep till at least 5... I def am tired bc it's not like I really get to nap during the day of go to bed early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681127 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 23:54:03 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2681127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: you haven't?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681114 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 23:09:25 +0000 snowjewelz 2681114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: I'm sorry you have been up so much!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681106 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:31:59 +0000 Calibee 2681106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my baby was three months old, I asked her pediatrician if a baby could sleep too much. She said nope and that I probably shouldn't tell my new mom friends how awesome of a sleeper I had. Enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681104 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:24:29 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2681104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is how my second is. She has ALWAYS put herself to sleep, has been STTN since about 8 months (at 3, big sister still doesn't!), and is a stellar nap taker. She will be 2 in April and still needs two naps a day. She totals like 4 hours worth of naps a day and 11 to 12 hours overnight. Like you, I sometimes wonder if she's normal, but am usually just happy that she's so "easy". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681070 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 20:02:02 +0000 FaithFertility 2681070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: Well with a 2 yr old he naps on the go A LOT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681058 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 19:32:57 +0000 Nutella 2681058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: sounds like my LO...it's amazing and we couldn't believe it when all we had heard was horror stories! I say enjoy it before things change with teething/dropping naps etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681044 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:45:15 +0000 pachamama 2681044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: whatever they do, is normal! My colleague's son slept so much as a baby, they literally could never do anything. He was either down for the night early or napping forever. My freakin kid only naps like 30mins at a time. The worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681042 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:36:30 +0000 FaithFertility 2681042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: his thumb! He loves it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681040 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:31:28 +0000 ocean81 2681040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, delete this posts before you jinx it! :silly: My daughter was like this (with a rough patch around 11 months for a month or so) but is back to being a rockstar sleeper at 21 months. Number 2 is due in May and I am well aware he or she will be a nightmare in the sleep department :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681024 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:06:35 +0000 catomd00 2681024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second was an amazin sleeper like that from 8-14 weeks when I went back to work. So sad she sleeps worse than a newborn now (though naps are pretty good finally!) I think he's def normal and I hope keeps it up for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2681023 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:03:14 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2681023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: please share any secret magic for baby sleep. DD2 is 1 month old and she's up every 2 hours during the night, takes 30 mins naps, needs to be held to fall asleep, etc. This is much better than DD1 who cried and cried, and only slept for 30 mins-1 hour morning and night, and we had to hold her allllllll the time. </p> <p>I was really hoping DD2 would be a magic sleep baby, but she just seems "normal". :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680985 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:23:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2680985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I think having big babies helps give them a head start on STTN. Good for sleep, bad for vag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680939 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 15:30:37 +0000 FaithFertility 2680939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AggieDaze: Ohh I do!!! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680937 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 15:28:14 +0000 AggieDaze 2680937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: yes!!

I guess time will tell haha. I totally agree a good sleeper will prob make me think that having one more won't be so bad haha. Sleep makes allll the difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680795 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:25:27 +0000 FaithFertility 2680795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KayKay: that's how I feel!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680793 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:21:11 +0000 KayKay 2680793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@faithfertility: i was nervous with R that we should've stopped while we were ahead -- E was the way easier 2nd kid, even though K wasn't even a hard baby. I always thought K was easy until we had E! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680787 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:11:02 +0000 FaithFertility 2680787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Yes, I get tired , but this maternity leave is like a Vaca!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680784 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:05:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2680784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I haven't really experienced that newborn exhaustion people talk about.

J/K universe for now! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680779 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 12:57:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2680779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's how my three have been. L &amp; C were the best. A is more unpredictable and has a tough time with teeth. She'll STTN for a week and then have two nights of wake ups it's annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680767 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 12:43:59 +0000 FaithFertility 2680767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I remember those 1-2hr wakes you had forever!!!!!

I feel like kids who are good sleepers generally stay that way, even when there are brief "intermissions".</p> <p>I'm over here shaking my fist at all the people who insisted that second babies are better sleepers, ha! Although perhaps it's too soon to tell at 4 days old. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680729 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 11:13:08 +0000 FaithFertility 2680729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: ohhhh man!!!<br /> That sounds more like what I am.used to....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-good-sleeper#post-2680724 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 11:06:00 +0000 MrsSCB 2680724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second @knittylady, because my now five-month-old WAS like that...Started sleeping at least eight hours straight at around eight weeks. But now that he's rolling over, we're transitioning from the swaddle and he's just more active in general...Well, last night he was up at 10, 1, 4, and 6. :meh: </p>
