Became a solid 12 hour sleeper at about a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2129362 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 11:50:42 +0000 edelweiss 2129362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it's gone back and forth. he would cry for about 15-20 minutes before every single bedtime for god knows how long. around 3 months he started STTN about 11-12 hours. that was awesome, until about 4 or 5 months when he started waking up around 4.30. this went on for a long time, probably until 12 months. then we had a nice stretch. and then at 19 months everything went to hell (mostly for falling asleep). then it went back to being nice. and then at 24 months we hit another bump in the road (again, mostly with falling asleep but we did have a few weeks of early wakeups). so, if i'm being honest i can't say that his night sleep is consistent yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2129351 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 11:46:27 +0000 SweetiePie 2129351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's always been able to go to bed on his own. My ped pounded "drowsy but awake" into my head from week 1.<br /> Wakeups didn't disappear consistently until 4 months when we sleep trained. My ped said he didn't need to wake up at all anymore, told me how to wean him off his final night feed and then had me CIO once his bottles were done. We CIO for 3 nights and he has been pretty consistently 7:30pm to 6:30am ever since. He's nearly 7 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2129266 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 10:52:52 +0000 tysonja 2129266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3m for LO#1 and 5.5 months for LO#2. we'll see for LO#3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128954 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:51:01 +0000 daniellemybelle 2128954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 13 months, I could count on her to STTN 6 out of 7 nights of the week, and if she woke up, I could get her back to sleep by rubbing her back and saying, "Shh, night, night." We've had a few hiccups since then due to illness, but she gets back to STTN much more easily than she did as an infant. She also goes to sleep totally on her own now, which still kind of blows my mind. </p> <p>I was READY for her to fall asleep on her own and STTN by 4 months. I had to nurse/rock to sleep and gingerly transition her to the crib - she couldn't fall asleep on her own - and she was having very frequent wake-ups. During the worst of the 4 month regression, they were every hour. So we sleep trained, but it didn't really work. At 6 months we sleep trained again. And again at 9 months when we moved and she regressed. I honestly can't remember how many times we had to "re-train." </p> <p>After 6 months, it always "worked," but it wouldn't stick through illness or transitions. I do think we were all better off with more/better sleep, including her. But looking back, STTN was not "her idea" until after she turned one. I was really pushing her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128950 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:47:32 +0000 BandDmommy 2128950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2 months for DD and 4 months for DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128949 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:46:28 +0000 Bubbles 2128949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He started sttn around 8 months, since then he has only had one motn wake up in total (he's now 15 months). *Crosses fingers and prays to sleep gods that we do not move backwards!* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128946 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:41:30 +0000 looch 2128946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 11 months. We were sleep training drop outs, this was the time where he finally learned to fall asleep on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128940 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:29:41 +0000 hilsy85 2128940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 13.5 months when he started sttn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128937 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:03:48 +0000 meredithNYC 2128937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3.5 months, when we sleep trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128917 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 03:01:14 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2128917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh baby sleep is so frustrating, isn't it? We did the Ferber method of sleep training at 5 months. After that, things were more consistent but still a lot of random night wakings. At 19 months, we still have maybe 2 nights on a good week and 5 nights on a bad week that she wakes once during the night. More than once is usually only if she's sick or teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128894 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 00:23:58 +0000 MsMini 2128894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhere around 18 months of age for DS. DD is 4 months and while a much better sleeper, is still somewhat inconsistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128890 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:40:32 +0000 BabyTsMom 2128890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up sleep training at 3.5 months, just so that he'd learn to fall asleep on his own. We never trained for any motn wakings. Since then, he's been very consistent but some nights obviously he needs more cuddles and needs to be more drowsy than awake, hahaha. Once he learned how to fall asleep, he dropped his last wakeup on his own within a month or so. He's 10.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128854 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 21:55:38 +0000 QBbride 2128854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 21 months and his sleep still isn't consistent. Sometimes he goes down easily, sometimes it's a fight. Sometimes he sleeps through the night, sometimes he doesn't... </p> <p>Sorry, probably not the answer you want to hear!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128846 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 21:36:19 +0000 Mamasig 2128846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally consistant? I would say closer to two. DS1 no longer wakes up unless he's sick. Before than he would still have random nights when he would wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128834 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 21:17:39 +0000 Trailmix 2128834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 2 years old and I'm still waiting... :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128828 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 21:10:06 +0000 catlady 2128828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only got consistency after sleep training (around 5 months). Before that, it was horrible, she was up sometimes 10x per night. Right after sleep training, she still usually woke 2-3x per night for MOTN nursing but at least I generally knew when she'd wake up. She gradually dropped the nursing sessions one by one and STTN at 10 months or so. She's been pretty good since then (with exceptions for teething or illness). </p> <p>Just FYI, we tried sleep training too early (around 4 months) and it was a big fail. We tried again a month later and it was like night and day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128826 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 21:07:07 +0000 Anagram 2128826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not till right before 12 months sadly. Well I guess you could say her sleep was consistently crappy. It still kinda is at 20 months tbh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128814 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:55:13 +0000 Mae 2128814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After sleep training bedtime became mooooostly consistent, but we still have off nights. As for overnight.... still waiting? We're at 10.5 mo and her sleep seems to ebb and flow. We'll have a week or even a few weeks where she is waking only 1 or 2 times/night. Then she's doing 3-4/night. Then randomly she'll keep me up all night. Then she'll sleep great the next 3 nights. Then she's back to 3 wake ups. Then 1-2. I mean the routine is mostly consistent. Mostly she just needs her paci except the random odd night. But the number of times is still a crap shoot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-become-consistent-with-night-sleep#post-2128809 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:46:03 +0000 Meridian 2128809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 24 weeks (19 weeks adjusted), and we still never know what to expect at night. VERY occasionally, he will fall right to sleep (he had a string of 4 or 5 good nights a few weeks ago, but then regressed). Most nights he'll cry for at least half an hour, sometimes an hour or more (we go in every 15 mins to soothe him and replace paci). And then sometimes he'll sleep 3 - 4 hours before waking to eat, although sometimes 5 or 6 hours. Once, even 7 hours! Basically, I'm saying that every night is a crap shoot. We tried sleep training (extinction method) at the beginning of March, and after 12 very painful nights, it didn't work so we had to stop.</p> <p>When did your LOs become consistent at night? </p>
