How many times were you woken last night?

[Arcadia]

Ok, so I am new to this whole parenting thing, and I want to get some idea of what other people experience irt night waking.

My bub went down at 7:30 and woke at 12:30, 1:30, 3:30, 5:30, 7 and then 8:30 for up time.

I feel like a zombie, and that wasn't even a bad night. She was waking less at 8 weeks old (only 2 times).

So...what is a "normal" night for you? And should I try and find a solution to all this waking, or will it settle down???

When DS was around that age he'd wake 2-3 times a night.
He's now 15 months and still wakes that often.
We did go through a stage of him waking almost every hour, so I feel your pain!
Are you b'feeding? Perhaps she may be going through a bit of a growth spurt?
Could pain be the reason she's waking? Perhaps she has some wind?
I hope someone will come in and give you some further advice!
Hugs to you

it will settle.. she might be going through a growth spurt and wanting more feeds.

I got woken 3 times last night.. me, her and the bed.. covered in spew. but usually she sleeps through.. 7pm - 7am with dream feed about 10pm

We went to bed at 11.00pm and was woken three times last night - twice by her breathing monitor going off, and once with him hysterically crying. Then he was up at 5.30am.

*yawn* I'm pretty tired today.

Oh no, I was hoping it would stay this way. I was only woken once last night. Bed at 9pm, woke at 2am, then didn't wake again until 6.30am. Feeling well rested today, thank God because I need my patience right now.

well.... DD went to bed close to 9pm.. she woke at probably 11.00, 2.30, 5.00, 6.00... DS woke us all up at 5am, I tried taking him back to bed, but he wouldn't sleep.. so I've been up since 5 today.

Pretty normal for us LOL.. except for the 5am wake up from the 3yr old.. he normally sleeps from 7.30-ish and wakes at 6 or 6.30.

We've woken frequently every night since the start DS started sleeping through at about 2 1/2, so I'm geared up for another year of waking with DD LOL.

Last night was really good for me.

Ellise is just over 3 weeks old and she only woke up twice. WE went to bed at 9 with a breastfeed and she woke once just before midnight and the next around 3-3:30am and then we began the day around 7. Cierra was up b4 then but thankfully Maarty tended to her so I can get an extra hour or so sleep!

The night b4 last was pretty awful though which I blame for a growth spurt...we were up every 1.5-2 hrs!
