Sleeping through the night

What ages where your babies when they started sleeping through the night?
Currently super sleep deprived and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel lol
Also, what did you do to implement sleep?

We started getting 6 hours around 2 months- now we get about 7-8 at 3! Sometimes even 9 hours! We introduced a paci which really helps- if she wakes up before 6 hours now we replace it and normally she goes back to sleep!

I know this is super rare. But my little one started sleeping through the night at just a few weeks old. We’re now sleeping like 12 hours where we used to be sleeping 7. She started sleeping four hours at a time only waking to eat.
I try to stay consistent with sleep cues (laying on me chest to chest, head/back/face rubs, blanket snug around her, pacifier). I always make sure she is full and has a clean diaper. I don’t know if this helps at all, but I try not to let her cry too much unless I have to. So maybe that helped her develop some trust and peace so she knows if she needs anything, I’m here? If she stirs, I try to leave her be. If she starts waking up and rolling her head constantly, I’ll pay her butt or bounce her and reassure her that I’m there.
If you don’t like co sleeping, I recently started letting her fall asleep on me. I wait for her to get into a deep sleep. Then I transfer her to the bassinet. But I always warm it first with a heating pad.

Started at 2yrs when we moved and he had to sleep with me (we are renovating his room). He sleeps so well now so I dread moving him back to his own bed 😭 safe to say I’ll be sleep training baby #2 if she’s a bad sleeper too

My baby was 2 months. Then had a sleep regression at 9 months which lasted 6 weeks -
Now back to sleeping through . I never get complacent due to sleep regressions but he did really well at sleeping through early

My girl is nearly 10 months and has just started sleeping through the night with just the occasional night she’ll wake for a feed

It wasn't until I weaned from breastfeeding, which was 14 months. Once he was off the boob, he also went straight into his own room and his own bed. He sleeps through the night most of the time from 730-7ish. He might wake up once or twice a night here and there.

8 weeks. But tonight she's up at midnight because her top teeth are cutting. 9m old

Consistently with no blips since… 8 months.

9 weeks 7-4am then 4 months 7-7
Red lamp, pink noise. Routine.

Followed wake windows through the day and fed every 2 hours through the day to ensure he got his calories in the day, so he stopped waking for feeds!

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.
