I expect it to change at any moment though because there's no way it can be this good. We've had rough patches with sleeping but generally she sttn 8-12 hours and the only thing she didn't like food-wise was puréed beef. And really, who ca blame her? That stuff is nasty!

After we sleep trained at 5.5 months he became a pretty good sleeper. And once we started solids he became a good eater. Alleluia! So far DD (2 weeks) is good both! *Fingers crossed* Andrea on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1263312 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:33:01 +0000 Andrea 1263312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They are both good at the moment.

He's an ok sleeper...fights his naps but when he's out at night, he's OUT. The verdict is out on LO2 (4 months) - eating wise, he's EBF and loves it. Sleep wise- we just got through 1.5 weeks of sleep training and his sleep has vastly improved. I'm hoping it will only get better from here on out. lulibee on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1263197 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:55:47 +0000 lulibee 1263197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Good eater and sleeper! When he was younger, he was difficult to feed, but it's not a problem anymore. He's beeb SSTN since 3 months, so no problems there!

I really can't complain a lot about his night sleep. He wakes 2-3 times wanting his binky, but he sleeps next to our bed, so no big deal. Once he's in his own room we'll see! mrs. wagon on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1263107 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:37:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 1263107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Both good eaters and sleepers! They both have their bad days for eating but if it's something they love, they will usually plow right through it. chopsuey on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1263096 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:34:55 +0000 chopsuey 1263096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They're both good eaters and sleepers! Dd wasnt always a good sleeper or eater though. She also wakes to pee in the middle of the night , but I do too, so all good!

We are juuuust starting to introduce her to solids, so we'll see how it goes.

I would call him a challenging sleeper - not the worst but definitely not the best.

Loves her milk though. A good sleeper for the most part (never thought I would say that, ha!) expect when she is sick/teething/going through some weird phase. 78h2o on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261833 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:45:43 +0000 78h2o 1261833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LuLu Mom: That's awesome. Even though my LO is sleeping through the night now, she still protests going to bed more often than not. Every once and awhile she will go to sleep without crying, but that is not the norm! yellowbird on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261823 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:43:10 +0000 yellowbird 1261823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My lo is a great sleeper and a terrible eater! yin on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261811 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:41:34 +0000 yin 1261811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Good eater but not so great sleeper for DS1. Baby loves to eat, even throughout the night. Maybe he will sleep for me once he gains some more weight. lawbee11 on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261805 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:40:34 +0000 lawbee11 1261805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Eater--yes.

She's that kid who always has her sheet checked off at school that she at "all" of every meal. I know it must have been something really gross if she gets a "most". HA. She sleeps ok. 11-12 hours with one wake up to nurse. But sometimes it takes a realllllllly long time to get her to go back to sleep after she eats, and that's rough. She also gets sick a lot so I feel like she's constantly either sick or teething and that screws up her sleep. LuLu Mom on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261783 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:35:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 1261783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 15 month old toddler is a champ at both. Eating came slower but always been a great sleeper. Only kid I know if you ask "are you ready for bed" who walks to her room and stands in front of her crib with her blanket. I'm so spoiled! Lindsay05 on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261770 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:34:06 +0000 Lindsay05 1261770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We go through phase after phase of both. One week she is an awesome sleeper and a poor eater. Next week it's complete opposite.

But I think it's probably easier to deal with food issues rather than no sleep (for either of us). Cherrybee on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261724 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:25:43 +0000 Cherrybee 1261724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ E is neither!! She refuses her bottles after only 80-100ml during the day - it can take a good hour to get 150ml down her (she should be having closer to 200ml!) and so far she has only liked two purees we have offered her - tomato and red pepper and strawberry. She hates baby rice, hates banana and hates sweet potato so far (like: spits it out forcefully and cries!!). As for her sleep..... she still takes crap-naps of 30 minutes, although she sometimes gives us a good nap (usually when we need to go somewhere when she wakes!!). She has never STTN at 4.5 months. She needs full black out blinds and white noise in order to sleep and struggles to settle anywhere other than her own bed. She's a sensitive little soul!! lovehoneybee on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261721 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:25:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 1261721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He's generally a great eater. His sleep really sucked for a long time, but it's gotten better since he weaned. We're getting more full STTN nights (as opposed to still waking up once or twice). rachiecakes on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261708 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:23:25 +0000 rachiecakes 1261708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ none of the above? I actually don't mind the sleeping, I'm not a good sleeper myself, all at. He goes to bed around 9pm, wakes once and goes back until 7am. There are nights he stays up until 10pm or later, still wakes and only sleeps until 7am. He wasn't picky to start but he's now a suuuper picky eater. It's so frustrating. Sometimes he'll eat and be really into something new and then other times he just wants what he likes and nothing else. 78h2o on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261686 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:20:30 +0000 78h2o 1261686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My little one is a great eater. Last night she was reaching down and stealing green beans and mushrooms off my plate while I was holding her. My LO used to be an so-so sleeper, with 2 wake ups in 12-13 hours and decent naps. For the last 1-2 weeks, she's been sleeping through the night... so for once I can say she's a good sleeper (for now, anyway!). sandy on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261685 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:20:23 +0000 sandy 1261685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is a great sleeper and good eater but there are definitely signs of pickiness showing up at 24 months autumnlove on "Is your LO a good eater and/or sleeper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-a-good-eater-andor-sleeper#post-1261666 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:17:07 +0000 autumnlove 1261666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Toddler is a good sleeper and so so eater. Baby is a good sleeper who bites during nursing and isn't interested in solids yet.
