When did your constant waker become a good sleeper?

[Sterla]

My DS wakes a lot at night. 3 times is the norm, but more (many more) is not uncommon. I'm used to it now, and deal with it okay... but it would be nice to know that he'll sleep better one day

So, when did your constant waker become a good sleeper?

[*charmalea*]

both of mine were shocking sleepers (dd up to 10 times a night !) both went to sleep school and we read and tried every trick in the book ..

they both slept through after they turned 1 around 13 months .. now both sleep through with the odd bad night .

we thought we have to take dd back to sleep school as she was still bad , but we changed her to a differnt room in the house as well , so its either a coincidene or not .

i dont fear night time any more ... DS is 3 and DD 14 mths

I feel for your lack of sleep we had a constant waker too.

We found that a very strict routine at bed time helped us. However we found this out when lumpy was 3 She sleeps really well now and the only reason she'll wake is if she is sick or too hot/cold.

I hope your little one gets the hang of sleeping longer stretches soon

My little girl has started sleeping through since she's had a break from the teething. I'm dreading her 2 year old molars though!

DS started sleeping a lot better from about 7.5 months. BUT, he still wakes a lot and needs company through the night if he's teething, sick, going through some sort of developmental leap or has just had a really exciting day.
He has slept through the night without waking twice in his life.

It was like at 12 months a light when off for DS and he just started sleeping through. I know it feels like a long stretch but no matter what we tried he just figured it out in his own time.

Hopefully you get some more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz soon.

For DS - after he turned 2 things got better. He mostly only has one wake up a night. DD is 10 months and still waking often. DS was a shocking teether too.

[~Kim~]

was about 18months for D. She stopped waking frequently at about 8-9months though and kept it to once or twice per night.

They all do eventually. At what age who knows, but just like walking, they all do in the end!

My DS was 2 before he began to sleep through every night. Before that he was so up & down. Some nights he would sleep through, others wake once, others wake twice & so on!
Not really sure what changed for us, only thing I can think of is all his teeth were through by then, even the molars....he was a shocking teether so I think that was what it was most of the time.

My eldest was a terrible sleeper. He finally slept through at 3 yrs of age.. which I know isn't what you want to hear lol.. My 4th bub was also not a good sleeper but I learnt to change what we did with our first and she finally slept through the night at 13 months

she still wakes but it is usually around 4 and just climbs into bed with us now.

Until she went into her toddler bed she was sleeping through virtually everynight
