Of course it wasn't always that way. It took months to get LO2 on board with eating, which is even more difficult with his long list of allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336405 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 02:48:34 +0000 Bubbles 2336405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazing sleeper (since 8 months... terrible before that), but very picky eater (although he'll eat plenty of stuff he likes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336394 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 01:12:43 +0000 CRGmama 2336394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a great sleeper now. Months 4-8 were absolutely brutal. Now he sleeps 12 hours most nights plus a 2 hour nap. Nap varies a little bit but it's pretty consistent 2+ hours. Eating is a total toss up. Sometimes he's great and will eat anything we give him. Other times it's a "favorite" item or something he's happily eaten before and he won't touch it. I voted good sleeper/bad eater, but his eating really isn't AWFUL. He just seems to go through phases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336346 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 21:51:53 +0000 sera_87 2336346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 is a great eater, terrible sleeper. Has been since birth.<br /> Lo2 is great at both but he hasn't hit the picky toddler stage yet. Holding my breath for that one ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336285 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:20:15 +0000 blackbird 2336285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336235 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 19:49:14 +0000 MoonMoon 2336235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I voted both good eater and sleeper, but realized others might not agree with my definition of good sleeper! He's always taken naps and fallen asleep pretty easily, and he sleeps until 8 most days, give or take. But he didn't sleep through the night until 25-26 months. He'd wake up to nurse, but he'd usually fall right back asleep, no crying or paryting in the middle of the night. So I consider that good, but others might not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336225 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 19:43:43 +0000 BabyTsMom 2336225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>until a couple of weeks ago, I thought great sleeper and great eater. He's still relatively good at both but naps have gotten shorter and shorter and he can go through picky phases when eating........ I'm still hoping he starts to take a longer nap every day....soon....... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336189 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 19:10:37 +0000 Charm54 2336189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great sleeper (overnight, naps are unpredictable and sometimes a headache) and great eater </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336180 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 19:02:58 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2336180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazing sleeper, bad eater (sometimes) - since sleep training a year ago I can count on one hand the number of times he's woken up in the night, and he reliably naps 2/3 hours every day.<br /> He doesn't eat well and has veeeeerrrrrry slowly climbed from the 2nd %ile to the 20th with a lot of coaxing. He is getting better but its still a constant source of stress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336123 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 18:23:43 +0000 BandDmommy 2336123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of mine are good sleepers and eaters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336110 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 18:14:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2336110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well thanks for disproving my theory, ladies. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336104 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 18:11:17 +0000 Mamasig 2336104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote because it changed with age. Neither of my boys are the best sleepers but not totally horrible either. Both were excellent eaters as babies. But DS1 became picky at 2.5 so I don't really consider him a good eater anymore. DS2 is still a pretty good eater but wondering how long they will last. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336056 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 17:15:59 +0000 Jess1483 2336056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one bad sleeper/bad eater and one good sleeper/good eater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336052 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 17:15:09 +0000 .twist. 2336052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's both. I've never worried about his eating. His sleep started off TERRIBLY and we ended up doing CIO. Which worked wonders and now I couldn't be happier with my sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336050 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 17:13:00 +0000 PawPrints 2336050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's a good sleeper and a good eater. But we only just started solids a few weeks ago so she hasn't had much chance to be picky yet. She has loved everything we've given her though, so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336047 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 17:10:12 +0000 Bao 2336047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good sleepers as in 12 hours a night for my oldest and 13 plus a nap for my youngest. Eating is a toss up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336026 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:44:26 +0000 catomd00 2336026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say decent sleeper and good eater. Her slee is better than o expected but I know a lot of people wouldn't consider her sleep good but we chose not to sleep train so we deal lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336025 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:44:21 +0000 mrsjyw 2336025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: knock on wood, same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2336003 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:18:08 +0000 looch 2336003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my son was always one or the other. In his early years, he was a poor sleeper but a good eater. Now he is a poor eater but a good sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335986 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:05:55 +0000 Autumnmama79 2335986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's both and I thank my lucky stars on a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335961 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:47:07 +0000 CakeLady 2335961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is not great at either :bummed: It is a huge source of stress for me, especially the food. He's 17 months.</p> <p>Food wise, he is really picky, doesn't like to try new things, won't eat most veggies, won't eat most meat. Carbs, fruit, dairy. That's pretty much it. He is plenty big and will eat a lot, but I feel like it isn't really as healthy as I would like. And meals, especially dinner, usually involve a lot of screaming.</p> <p>He's not a terrible sleeper, he goes down pretty easily at 7 but is up between 4 and 5:30 most days, some days I can get him to go back to sleep. Naps are better than they were but still a bit of a crapshoot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335960 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:46:41 +0000 travellingbee 2335960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great eater. Terrible sleeper. Lord please bless me with a good sleeper for this next one!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335940 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:26:03 +0000 simplyfelicity 2335940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's bf so it's hard to tell if he is a good eater but he's gaining great. He is a good sleeper. It doesn't happen every night but he usually STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335939 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:25:26 +0000 winniebee 2335939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first was an average sleeper, not a good eater. He was fickle at the breast and took small bottles for forever and because he was low birth weight I was always stressed. But I never had to sleep train and he STTN at 8 months, so does that count as good? He's 3.5 and I'd say he's pretty average in both depts. He sleeps fine at night but gave up his nap before 3. He eats probably what normal picky 3.5 year olds eat. Some days he eats everything including vegetables, some days he sustains himself on air. </p> <p>My second is a great eater, has been from birth. So while he was also tiny, I have never for a moment worried about his size (and he's average sized now). He was a horrendous sleeper until 3 months. Even at 10.5 months I can count the number of times he has STTN....on one hand :shocked: He still nurses well and destroys solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335938 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:23:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2335938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Milk - Never an amazing drinker of milk (never on the high end of milk in-take, breast or formula) </p> <p>Solids - Amazing since day 1 besides being sick (so one of my telltale signs is if she doesn't eat!) </p> <p>Sleep - Took us 8-9 months but now she sleeps and naps great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335924 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:11:37 +0000 youboots 2335924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's both. Bless her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335922 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:10:03 +0000 Cherrybee 2335922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is neither! Actually, to be fair, her sleep has really improved recently (knock on wood) but she was an extreme crap napper and didn't STTN until she was 25 months. Her eating has also improved recently (knock on wood), in that she now eats every day - until recently, she would go entire weekends on water and cake - but she's still super picky and never eats breakfast. </p> <p>She is, however, very confident (no shynesss, clingyness), which I am grateful for. She is also very verbal and so we appear to have completely missed the terrible twos (knock on woooooood!). I don't think she has ever had a proper tantrum (although I hear "that's not fair" and "that's boring" 200x a day! Early threenager!). </p> <p>I guess what Im trying to say is that every child has their challenging points and every child has their easy peasy points. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-good-sleeper-good-water#post-2335889 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 14:50:38 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2335889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both are good eaters and even better sleepers.

Just to drive me truly insane, haha. </p>
