Hellobee Boards

I think now is the time to praise the lord and thank your lucky stars.

My LO2 was like that (although she was very petite) and then the 4 month regression came . She never dropped that MOTN feed she "acquired" during that time until she was a year old. (But then we didn't sleep train her either).

I have dreams that number #2 will be like that.

That's awesome for you!
My first was a good sleeper as a baby, but since she was 1 has gone through horrible sleep phases.
#2 is a serious dream sleeper, even still at 2 years old. I learned a lot from #1 and did some things different. I'm not sure if it's just she's a good sleeper, or if I learned and helped her become that way.
Here's hoping #3 is another dream haha

@FaithFertility: but aside from that MOTN feed she still is an amazing sleeper. At 2 she naps anywhere from 1.5-3.45h and is usually the last to be woken from naps at daycare too. She goes to bed at 7/7:30pm and goes to sleep without fuss and we usually do not hear from her again until next morning same time. Now my LO1 on the other hand... whole other story...
So yeah your LO2 has a high chance of staying a good sleeper.

I second @knittylady, because my now five-month-old WAS like that...Started sleeping at least eight hours straight at around eight weeks. But now that he's rolling over, we're transitioning from the swaddle and he's just more active in general...Well, last night he was up at 10, 1, 4, and 6.

Yay that is awesome!!!! I feel like kids who are good sleepers generally stay that way, even when there are brief "intermissions".

I'm over here shaking my fist at all the people who insisted that second babies are better sleepers, ha! Although perhaps it's too soon to tell at 4 days old.

My second child was a nightmare baby sleeper but amazing toddler sleeper still is at age 2!

That's how my three have been. L & C were the best. A is more unpredictable and has a tough time with teeth. She'll STTN for a week and then have two nights of wake ups it's annoying.

@FaithFertility: I haven't really experienced that newborn exhaustion people talk about. Hence three.

@faithfertility: i was nervous with R that we should've stopped while we were ahead -- E was the way easier 2nd kid, even though K wasn't even a hard baby. I always thought K was easy until we had E!

I keep wondering if K2 is a better sleeper, or we were just so clueless with K1?! I guess time will tell haha. I totally agree a good sleeper will prob make me think that having one more won't be so bad haha. Sleep makes allll the difference!

@FaithFertility: please share any secret magic for baby sleep. DD2 is 1 month old and she's up every 2 hours during the night, takes 30 mins naps, needs to be held to fall asleep, etc. This is much better than DD1 who cried and cried, and only slept for 30 mins-1 hour morning and night, and we had to hold her allllllll the time.

I was really hoping DD2 would be a magic sleep baby, but she just seems "normal".

Omg, delete this posts before you jinx it! My daughter was like this (with a rough patch around 11 months for a month or so) but is back to being a rockstar sleeper at 21 months. Number 2 is due in May and I am well aware he or she will be a nightmare in the sleep department

@FaithFertility: whatever they do, is normal! My colleague's son slept so much as a baby, they literally could never do anything. He was either down for the night early or napping forever. My freakin kid only naps like 30mins at a time. The worst!

When my baby was three months old, I asked her pediatrician if a baby could sleep too much. She said nope and that I probably shouldn't tell my new mom friends how awesome of a sleeper I had. Enjoy it!

@snowjewelz: you haven't?!?
