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.

LO is a great sleeper and good eater but there are definitely signs of pickiness showing up at 24 months

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!).

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.

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).

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!!

Great sleeper, poor eater... But I think it's probably easier to deal with food issues rather than no sleep (for either of us).

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.

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!

Great eater. 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.

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.

@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!

Not so great an eater- but getting better I will say. 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.

DS has always been a great water though he got a little pickier after he turned one. I would call him a challenging sleeper - not the worst but definitely not the best.

@78h2o: She's a freak of nature when it comes to sleep No complaints though!

DD is an excellent sleeper (though we bed share, and haven't trained). We are juuuust starting to introduce her to solids, so we'll see how it goes.

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!

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.

Great eater, fairly good sleeper. 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!

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!

LO1 was a great eater up until he turned 2 years old...now he is more picky..even grabbing veggies half-chewed out of his mouth and telling me he doesn't like it. 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.

DS started out as bad both. 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*

So far, so good. 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!
