    Sleeping thru the night

    Hi,
    I am interested in finding out at what age their little one decided to sleep all night? My DD is 7.5mths old and still wakes for a bottle.

    Thanks
    Lisa

    Im not going to give you the answer that you want to hear at all, but MJ is now over 2 years and still wake once a night, not for a feed though.
    Now i just grab the heat pack, heat it slightly and give it to her and she goes off to sleep again, so i am up for 5 minutes tops.
    She has never been a great sleeper though!

    I found that as soon as i accepted it and figured that it would not go on for ever, i didnt mind it so much, but the more anxious i was that everyone elses child was sleeping better and why wasnt she etc etc it was worse - for me iykwim
    I now love the fact that she wants me, cos it will be very soon and she wont need me at all

    DD started sleeping through at about 5 months, but it only lasted for a few weeks. Last night was the first night she has slept right through since then! Will be interested to see if she does it again tonight.

    Sorry but my dd1 is 3 and she still wakes once a night most of the time! She gets up for toilet runs or nightmares or just wants to sleep with us. Shes always been a poor sleeper..always! DD2 however has been sleeping through most nights from about 13 months. She just had a period where she was waking again recently but that was due to cutting 3 of her eye teeth at once.
    Good luck!

    I feel your pain! Elijah is 13 months and yeah he's a shocker still! 3ish hours is brilliant for him lol. Last night was 11:50, 1:20 - didn't go back to sleep for about an hour - was 2:30 last look at clock, then up again at 5, 6, 7....lol.... I give up by then and also Oskar was going to be waking up anyway. Oskar, on the other hand was brilliant! Slept through hmmmm from about 3/4 months? Was fabulous and he's still a good sleeper most nights.
