Sleeping through the night

My baby is about to be 3 months old. She is still not sleeping through the night. She will wake atleast twice through the night is anyone else in the same boat? Any recommendations on how to help? We don’t pick her up straight away when she wakes up either in hopes she will go back to sleep!

My little one is the same, he’s 13 weeks, still wakes at 11.30 then 3.30 for milk! Despite having full feeds and good naps all day 🤷🏼‍♀️

My LB the same he goes down different times between 8-10 but he will wake 3 times for a feed sometimes more then up 6-7

I think all babies are so different. Some people are just very fortunate to get babies to sleep through the night so don't worry. We were sleeping until 2/3am with a bedtime around 7.30/8 and then going back to sleep until 6am after a feed from like 10 weeks old. Now we're in a sleep regression I think waking up every hour and needing 2 full feeds over night at almost 17 weeks lol

My first daughter who is 17 months now only started sleeping through the night just before her first birthday, my 3 month old now is already only waking once so imagine she might do it before that, each baby is different so don’t worry yourself x

This is very normal, my little one still wakes a few times a night and has also regressed slightly and sometimes wakes up every hour! I think bottle fed babies tend to sleep through the night, but breastfed babies will still need feeding x

My baby is bottle fed still he wakes at 11pm, 2am, 4.30am and then 7 🤪 he's almost 12 weeks x

3 months is very young to expect a baby to sleep through the night.

My little boy started sleeping through just after 12 weeks. We didn't do anything different, it just happened one night. Sometimes i will have to feed him once in the night but it might just happen for you. Give it some time :-) xx

It’s normal infant sleep to be waking at night time at 3 months old. Whilst it is exhausting, it’s normal. Most babies this age aren’t sleeping through, only the minority are. Some people just get lucky, and you can try what they do and it might help, but it also might not because babies are all individual. My almost 3yo still doesn’t sleep through consistently.

My 13 week old usually gets fed between 8pm and 9pm and wakes around 1 and again around 5. Last night he was up every hour and a half from 1am. His naps are all over the place at the minute aswell 🙄

My LG is the same. Goes to sleep at 9, wakes at 2am and then fully wakes to start the day at 5am …..

I got my baby to sleep through the night because of … being lucky 😂 I’m just lucky I have a baby that sleeps through the night! We do bedtime routine between 9-10pm, then we wake her slightly for a dream feed around half 11, so she has a nice full tummy for the night, she wakes between 6-7am

This is totally normal - 3 month olds very rarely sleep through the night.

My LB went a few weeks with waking once and now is waking up 2 or 3 times. Presume it’s a regression. I guess they’re all different. Last night though, I didn’t give him a bottle at 3am I gave him a dummy which I don’t normally do and he went back to sleep until 7am!!

Totally normal … my first slept through the night aged 2!!! And what I’ve seen with my fiends is that even if they had great sleepers as babies, it’s all changed again in toddler years. Embrace the sleep deprivation…!

We’re still in 2-3 hourly wakes for feeding I’ve just got used to it now 🤪
