I find it's hard to define sleeping through! Cooper usually goes 8-10 hours between feeds at night. But his last feed is at 6.00 pm so this means he will wake for another feed around 2-4am. Yet I know other mums who say their baby sleeps through – they sleep the same amount as Cooper but it's only because they have their last feed later at night IYKWIM.

I don't like to wake Cooper. He's obviously tired at 6.00 pm and this is when he wants to go to bed!

He's been going 8 hours between feeds since he was about 2 weeks old. Then at 9 weeks he slept through for the first time (12 hours between feeds – 6am to 6pm). He has only done this once. Since then he sometimes goes 10 hours, although some nights it's still 8 hours.

I'm waiting for him to do it again!
