LO is almost 6 weeks old (3 weeks age adjusted) and is still at 3 a night. I need to see a light at the end of the tunnel!
-
Week 5?
-
@raintreebee: whoa! For us, not until 4 months. Then he picked up a second one for 1.5 months somewhere around 7 months, and then dropped all night feeds on his own at 9 months. (EBF)
-
Aw, I feel for you! I remember 6 weeks being ROUGH. I was just really, really tired by then
Let's see... I think for my LO it was around 12 weeks. But, by that point we were doing a "dream" feed around 11pm with formula since my supply just wasn't there. So not sure if that makes a difference or not.
-
in a 12 hour period? not until 6-7 months? then she had two again for about 6 weeks when teeth were coming in.
it's totally normal for babies to be waking every 2-3 hours at your LO's age.
-
Lo will be 5 mths on Saturday and some nights still has 3 feeds in the night. Sometimes two or one. 6 wks is a rough time, but there is light at the end. Hang in there momma!!!
-
Six to eight weeks were terrible. DD dropped to one feeding for about a month at three months. She went back to 2-3 at four months. At five months she usually wakes up twice. BUT she eats so much faster now. It's much better than it was at six weeks!
-
I think around 2 months? Maybe closer to 3? One of those things that you forget about once you're not dealing with anymore, probably in part because of the sleep deprivation.
-
Somewhere between 12 and 13 months....for the most part.
-
I think we may have been at 2 feedings after 1-2months? I wish I could temember but we were at two for awhile and at 1 by month 3 when I went back to work because I temembet thinking I could do one wake up.
-
Last night was the first time she's only woken to eat once. She is 13 weeks old today. Still remains to be seen whether it will continue (fingers crossed!) or whether it was just a fluke.
-
LO is 7 months and I think we stopped feeding in the middle of the night last month?!
-
Around seven weeks. She night weaned at eleven weeks, then picked up a feed at six months and lost it again fairly soon after that.
-
She dropped to 1 feeding for about a week at 3.5 months, and now at 6 months we're sleep training, and she's down to 1 feeding/waking.
-
LO just turned four weeks yesterday and for the past two nights, we've only had one feed at night. Hoping this continues! I can't remember when DD1 went to one feed overnight but she started sleeping 12 hrs through the night, no wake ups, at 2.5 months.
-
@Ree723: Holy crap you make good sleepers! lol
DS is 3.5 months and we have 2 or 3 wake ups, but 5 on really bad nights. Right now I'm trying to slowly night wean him by shortening the duration of his feeds every few days. Right now I'm at 8 minutes. I'm hoping when we get down to under 5 minutes he starts dropping them on his own.
-
With D1, it was at 8 months. D2 is almost 5 months and mostly has 2 but sometimes 1.
-
Around 10 weeks
-
Two until 9 months.
-
You are only having 3 feedings at 6 weeks??? I just looked back at my records and we had 4-5 at that age. At six months we're down to 2-3 a night still. One time a night....wow, I can only dream.
-
At 6 months and a 12 hr night we are at 2-3. I'd say we're still several months out from 1 feeding.
-
Wow? There is so much variability! Guess I have no clue what to expect!
@Grace: we just went down from 4 to 3 two nights ago. Not sure how long that will last. I have been doing one at 11ish, 2ish, and 5ish. All the "schedules" I read (moms on call, sample easy routines) say we should be at one feeding a night now! I am doing on demand rather than schedules, but I am surprised at what the sample schedules say.
-
LO is 7 months old. She occasionally will have only 1 wakeup to nurse, but most of the time it's still 2
-
Around 3-4 months for my LO.
-
@ShootingStar: Lol, yeah, they take after me, I love my sleep! DH is a super finicky sleeper (needs silence, complete darkness, right temp, and even then he still struggles sometimes). I told him if our children inherited his crappy sleep habits, he would be the one waking up with them fourteen times a night! So far so good
-
Maybe 7-8 weeks? There were of course regressions but by and large he only woke up once a night after that. No feedings after 8 or 9 months and often after 4 months. But he also only slept 10 hrs overnight until 1 year.
-
@raintreebee: Now, I have a less-than-steller sleeper, but what I found was that nothing stayed consistent. I'd have a week of great sleep stretches followed by a week of crap. And then there would be a growth spurt/wonder week/teething/new milestone that would also throw it all off. So, I think that's why there is all the variability. And to throw some more confusing info at you, the Healthy Sleep Habits book says that 2 wakeups even at 6 months is still normal. Who knows. Baby sleep is weird.
-
We formula fed so DD was in a time-bound routine from the start with regards to feeding. Don't get my wrong, she woke outside of those times, but she was fed every three hours at that age (7pm, 10pm, 1am, 4am, 7am). I guess that's three night feeds?
She dropped the 10pm one at around 8 weeks, waking at approx midnight then again at 4am, 7am.....
Then, at 5.5 months, she randomly STTN. It was a one off but it showed us she could do it. I then started offering the dummy (paci) at the 4am feed and she would just go back to sleep.... Not having the 4am feed meant that she was hungry in the day and she drank more milk, which in turn meant that she woke less in the night. She started STTN at 6 months.
Then teething happened and we're back to 2 wake ups a night now (but they're not feeds, of course)!!
-
Six weeks is tough *hugs* After we got LO's days & nights sorted out she typically only had 2 night feedings, maybe 3. At about 8 weeks, LO started going 9-5 & then back down until 9, so basically STTN. Then at 12 weeks or so (I can't remember - it's awful) she started waking up more again. We hit the 4 month regression & had to sleep train because she couldn't make it longer than one 45 minute sleep cycle. Now we are back to 2 night feedings. She goes about 4 hours between feedings. Honestly I think that's pretty typical for babies though I do wish she would go down to 1 feeding!
-
@raintreebee: Most of those schedules would require some level of sleep training. Moms On Call sleep trains very early - I think like 8 weeks? The Baby Whisperer (EASY) doesn't advocate CIO but she does recommend a dream feed. Dream feeds never really worked for us but you could try it!
-
Uhhhh 10 months, after sleep training?
-
@Silva: LOL! This thread is blowing my mind. We were having 2-3 wake ups (to eat) his entire first year!! Granted we probably could have sleep trained but damn, there are a lot of excellent sleepers on HB!
-
Around 4 months, after sleep training. That lasted maybe three weeks and teething switched it all up.
-
Around 6 months. She was on two feedings a night starting around 12 weeks (12 and 4 usually), and stuck there until we sleep trained her.
-
I consider us to only have one feeding through the night at 7 weeks. She eats at 9-10, then at 2-3, then between 6-7. But I'm awake for the first and last, so I don't consider them "MOTN"
-
For us, it was never really linear. It's not like she went from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 and then none. The entire first year, and even into the second, is filled with things that cause babies to wake up more and demand more food- wonder weeks, growth spurts, teething, etc.
In the beginning when she was a newborn, I remember her only waking up once a night (granted she went to bed around 10pm). But then growth spurts and wonder weeks hit and she started waking up 3x a night by 12 weeks. Then from 3 months to basically 6.5 months, when we sleep trained, she had many many night wakings to eat (anywhere from 2-6). Then around 6.5 months she had 1-2, and around 8 months she pretty much dropped to only 1.
