Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515618 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:14:56 +0000 lady grey 1515618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started doing a longer 5 hours chunk of sleep around 8 weeks of age. But then he'd still be up every 2 hours after that. We had a horrible 4 month sleep regression though and ended up sleep training at 5 months. Used the Sleep Easy Solution book- it was great! (it is a cry it out book tho) At 9 month he sleeps 12-13 hours per night, amazing!!! It will get better for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515606 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:04:19 +0000 heffalump 1515606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the baby. My first LO slept 12 hours when she was 2 1/2 months. Took my 2nd LO until 3 1/2 months. Meanwhile, my niece is 1 and still not sleeping through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515535 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 14:51:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1515535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 weeks was when it got better for me.

I got do sick of people telling me "it gets better" but it really does! Nothing I did changed how he slept, I don't think, he just started sleeping longer. After the first long stretch though, he will still wakes up every 2-3 hours... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515458 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 13:24:34 +0000 gotkimchi 1515458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boo!!

We had a huge poll a month or two back and only 20-30% had babies sleeping. Through the night by 3 months. That means 70% are not and that includes my 8 month old who has still never slept through the night even once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515170 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 09:56:58 +0000 .twist. 1515170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: haha honestly, it got better for us when we started sleep training at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515164 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 09:54:31 +0000 gotkimchi 1515164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: @winniebee: @Applesandbananas: @.twist.: @Smurfette: @Grace: Thanks everyone, I just feel so helpless. And everyone says it gets better but it hasn't happened yet.<br /> Who had these mythical babies that sleep all night??? It wasn't so bad at first but now the sleep deprivation is really catching up with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515152 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 09:47:27 +0000 .twist. 1515152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't go into detail about our situation, but I HOPE your LO gets better and starts sleeping better. Tough sleepers are the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515147 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 09:44:14 +0000 Smurfette 1515147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-8 weeks is rough.

Once we got to 9-10 weeks, it was much better.</p> <p>Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515137 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 09:35:31 +0000 winniebee 1515137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us it was around 8 weeks. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515128 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 09:29:20 +0000 Grace 1515128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's an evil growth spurt at 6 weeks. Once that's over, sleep gets better....relatively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515099 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 08:51:22 +0000 Cherrybee 1515099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like the 6 week growth spurt to me! She's a hungry little girlie! </p> <p>For us, sleep settled into a predictable pattern of waking twice a night at around 10 weeks. Then, when she was 5 months, she STTN for the first time! Then she did it again a week later.....! Then it was twice per week..... At 8 months, she doesn't sleep through consistently but she manages maybe 4 nights per week and usually only wakes once on the other nights. It does get easier, honestly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-it-get-better-1#post-1515096 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 08:45:24 +0000 gotkimchi 1515096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is 6 weeks old today and I feel like everyone says it gets easier at six weeks but I swear it's getting worse! She was getting up twice a night around 12/3:30 but lately she's been getting up every 2 hours!!! Nothing I do help her sleeps longer at night. I've tried doing a dream feed but I can't get her awake enough to eat once shes asleep. Help. So tired :( </p>
