It was super easy as she got older. I would be up for maybe 30-40 minutes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574461 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 08:08:37 +0000 NerdBee 574461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 weeks, even though LO fell asleep right after nursing, it would still take about an hour from start to finish. By the time I changed his diaper, nursed about 15-20min per side, burping, maybe another diaper change if he pooped while eating and re-swaddled, an hour had passed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574445 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 08:02:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 574445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly what Hilsy just said - maybe 20 minutes max since he is sleeping basically after eating on one side and I'm half asleep so I just let him linger.... LO is 4 months, he's been waking up once which is new - hoping he goes back to sttn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574435 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:59:01 +0000 hilsy85 574435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 10-13 min at 4 months...he eats quickly and goes right back to sleep thank goodness. I also stopped changing his diaper in the motn which helped a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574431 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:55:56 +0000 BelugaBean 574431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a while our night wakings were taking about an hour. I think at the time it was because she didn't know how to put herself back to sleep so it was her eating plus I had to change her plus I had to nurse her back to sleep. Once she was a little older, she woke up a lot but only for about 10 minutes each time (that was also because she didn't need anything, she just couldn't fall back to sleep on her own). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574427 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:54:09 +0000 Sammyfab 574427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 weeks my LO was a super slow eater so nightwakings took 45 minutes but he always fell back asleep quickly. At 2.5-3 months they would take 10-15 minutes max. I thinks our shortest nightwakings were 8 minutes long! It does get better!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574393 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:20:45 +0000 matador84 574393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months and about 15-20 mins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574384 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:11:40 +0000 SleepyMonkey 574384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about 15-20 minutes.

Even at six months she is up 1-3 times for about 30-45 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574329 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 02:12:46 +0000 tinyperson 574329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're at 2 months and we're up about an hour for a feeding, but she's still pretty small and takes both sides every time. It's nights she's only up once though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574287 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 01:14:32 +0000 Running Elley 574287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's night wakings used to take that long too but they've gotten a million times better. Even if he eats now the max time that we're up is 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-night-wakings-take#post-574267 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 01:03:46 +0000 jedeve 574267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6w and is up once or twice for a little over an hour. I'm exhausted. And then I hear about babies waking up to eat 2-3x when they are much older. I couldn't handle that! All I can figure is it doesn't take as long? </p>
