when did your baby...?

The medical definition ladies of sleeping throught the night is 5hrs! So all those studies you see where they say a certain % of babies sleep through the night by such and such an age means that they are sleeping longer than 5hrs - so those of us with babies who sleep better than that count our lucky stars!!!

Ethan would wake for feeds every 3hrs or so for the first couple of weeks then he slowly creeped out to 5 hours by 4weeks, by 6w i was only getting up once in the nigft to feed him, then the reflux hit and he woul dbe awake for nearly the whole day but would sleep a solid 8hrs at night(from 8-10weeks) then after he was put on medication (at 10weeks) for the reflux he sleeps well during the day now and also 10hrs over night.

The key is to have a baby that can put themselve to sleep - so the chllenge is to put bubs to sleep while they are still awake so that they can learn to put themselves back to sleep. Their sleep cycles are approx50min so if you watched your bubs you will find that they will"wake up" every 50mins or so- they may open their eyes even cry but can go back to sleep. Don't get up to the first noise, wait to see if they are really awake before heading in... Good luck!!!

I knew I had read this somewhere before! I was trying to tell my mum about it.

How ridiculous. In that case, Cooper has been "sleeping through" from 2 weeks old.

Because of the time Cooper has his last feed, sleeping through to me is going 12 hours between feeds (not having to get up through the night). Currently he goes 8-10.

Although last night he slept through for the second time. He went 11 hours between feeds - from 7pm to 6am. Yay!
