How many times does your baby wake at night?

[joey123]

Thanks so much everyone.

You wouldn't beleive it ...

Lily has slept through (10-11hrs) for the last 3 nights

Let's hope she keeps it up.

And, no, I didn't change anything. Oh, I was waking her up at 8.30pm for a top up feed, but I cut that out, and she slept through about 2-3 days after I stopped that.

I feed her every 3-3.5 hours a day, depending on her sleeps. I always feed her before I put her down for a nap (whether she needs it or not) and she has increased her day sleeps up to 4-5 hours in the day now too.

oh, one more thing. she had a cold last week, so i put her nursing pillow under her mattress, so it's on a bit of a slope. now she sleeps with her head slightly elevated, this means she can't crawl up hill and head butt the end of the cot (which is where she always was when i got her up in the night) perhaps she was walking cause she'd creeped up there in her sleep and not cause she was hungry??? so i'm going to keep her mattress slightly elevated for good now! just in case that's it

for sure. i'll put her on...

Oh thank goodness for this thread. I have a 6MO who still wakes twice in the night, once at 11.30pm & again between 4-5.30am. Sometimes she will go back to sleep til 7am others she is wide awake & wanting to play. I have 2 friends with young babies who both sleep thru the night, it was really bugging me that mine doesn't but I feel heaps better now!!! I thought it was something I was doing wrong!

My daughter was a month prem & is still v small so gets hungry, I was concerned it was a habit but she really is hungry at those times & takes a whole bottle with no messing. I told myself once we added soilds to her diet she may sleep thru but we are a few weeks in to that now & no sign of anything changing. My mum says once she starts crawling she willl be more tired.....mmmm me thinks that probably won't work either

CAH - my DS still needed food during the night until very recently and often wakes for a drink.
