Olive is almost 4 months old (already?!), and lately she wakes up at 2am and 6am for a feeding. I usually go to sleep around 12:30.
I think if I only had to get up once, I would be totally fine. But two wakings makes such a big difference! Luckily she's been going back to sleep right after the feeding lately (which she hadn't been for awhile), so it's not that bad.
How old is your LO and how many times do they wake up at night?

My LO is almost 6 months old. She sleeps between 6-630 every night. She wakes up around 1130 (5-5.5hours) and then again around 4-5ish for her second feeding, then she's up for the day around 6.
I get into bed around 11 but it takes me hours to fall asleep. So that being said, I'm chronically exhausted. I was so hopeful that by now shed only wake up once, but no such luck!

LO is 10 months old today! She goes to bed between 6:15-6:50pm and wakes once around midnight. She gets up at around 7:30am. :T My pediatrician said she doesn't need a middle of the night feeding so I should just ignore her when she wakes.. 
Not sure if I can though!
We'll see..

4 1/2 months - wakes up once around 2 and then 5:30 (goes to bed around 8:30) he only get's nursed/bottle at 5:30 then goes back to sleep til 7:15. I'm sure he would love a bottle or to be nursed at 2 - but he usually falls right back to sleep - if we put him in the swing or bounce/hold him for a few minutes. We are trying to break the swing habit.

Little Jacks is 20 months and wakes 2-3 times. I'm totally used to it now and it's getting better. Now she goes right back to sleep generally (so little sleep lost for me while I'm cosleeping. But I can't imagine how it's going to be with 2 waking up at different times. Pray for an easy baby!

@Mrs. Jacks: I hope you do a post on your co-sleeping situation! I co-sleep with my daughter (who is 2 years and a few months) and I'm trying to transition her to her own bed right now because I'm concerned about sleeping with her and the new baby in the same bed. Are you planning to co-sleep with them both?

LO is almost 6 months and she gets up once or twice...It's 50/50. She goes down 5:30-6pm. Her first feeding is around midnight...And if there is a second one, it'll be at 4-5am. She's up for the day between 6-7am.

@Rock n Roll: Well as a preview to a future post, I think for now we're going to do Pack n Play at the bedside for Jack Jack. I wouldn't trust 2 in the bed and Little Jacks (despite all attempts) is not ready for a full transition yet!

LO is 21 months and usually doesn't wake up at night. But that's because we co-slept/bed-shared with him for a long time and he got used to just getting himself back to sleep. It's nice to have a nice long sleep at night!

Wow, I got super lucky with my lo! I didn't realize so many babies wake up in the middle of the night. Lo has been sleeping 11-12 hours since 2 1/2 months, she's 6 months now. She makes up for it by being a bad napper though.

LO got her 6-month shots today and she's been in bed for an hour but has been crying out every now and then. Poor thing.

Baby Y is 7 months and is up once or twice. I nurse him and he usually goes right back to sleep, though.

She was so good for so long and would be up once a night, but that was usually after a long stretch of sleep and sometimes she'd just sleep straight through. So at the worst I would get to sleep for 5-6 hours and then for another 1-2 hours.
Once she started solids (probably more like the age thing but in my head it's connected to solids) she started waking up every 2 hours. It stunk but she'd act desperate for food, not just comfort suckling.
Now at 8 months she's going in about 4 hour stretches, so wakes up twice. We're going to try to get it down to once soon but after the nonsense she was up to last month twice feels nice.

@Mrs. Bee: For us it was a surprise because she just slept so well until she was 6-7 months. So when she started waking up more I felt like it was for a reason. I'm not sure what that reason is though.

LO is 8 weeks old today! She has been in sort of a pattern off waking up twice around 930 and 2 and then getting up forr more food and the day around 6-7. It has been fine getting up with her so far but i am not sure how it will be once I am back at work.
