For those whose babies don’t have long naps in the daytime. By long I mean total under 1.5-2 hours.
How many times are your LO’s waking in the night?
Particularly interested to hear if you have always had a frequent waker (never ever slept through) and how you settle back to sleep.
TIA

I've always found my babies wake up as often as I breastfeed them. I currently feed my boyo once per night so he wakes up mostly once (sometimes 2x but I'll send my partner). Once the heatwave is over I'll stop feeding overnight and hope that 90% of the time he will sleep through. He's EBF so they sometimes need an overnight feed but he's certainly old enough for me to test that a bit now. To cut down I still wake and feed him when he cries out but only for 1 minute then stop and rock to sleep. It's so unsatisfying that they eventually stop waking but so comforting that they are happy and no crying.

My little one only sleeps under 1.5-2 hours of naps in the daytime. He’s usually asleep around 7ish (give or take) and wakes once in the night for a bottle. That said we’ve moved house and he was teething so during August he was waking average 2 times in the night. The heat has been a bit rough too. He has been formula fed since very little and has always woken 1-2 times overnight since about 8 weeks.

My little girl generally sleep for around 1.5 to 2 hours in the day (as a rough guide around 3 naps of around 30 mins) and she sleeps through. Occasionally wakes for her dummy but once I've put it back in she goes back off straight away x

My little boy usually has 1.5 hours total naps and wakes 2-3 times during the night. EBF apart from solids. He typically sleeps from 7pm - 6am with the wake ups being for feeds/comfort and lasting 15- 20 mins. Xx
Thanks all. My LO wakes 4-5 times a night and just exhausted!

EBF with solids here 👋 my LG rarely naps more than 1.5 hrs during the day. Bed time was 7.30 and would wake about 7am. Wakes 3/4 times a night, twice she has a proper feed. I'm trying pushing her bed time back to see if it helps her wake less during the night coz I'm back at work and its exhausting!
