Sleeping long stretches

Don't think there is anything, you could follow someone's routine and get a different result. We have been up every 2 hours tonight from 10 then @ 12, 2 and I'd imagine more of the same as sleep gets worse for us as the night goes on! Longest we have ever had is 3.5 hours and that was maybe 1 stretch? X

I came on here (3am) to literally look if anyone has asked this 🤣 I had two nights last week ( in a row so thought that was it) of 6 hour stretches now we are back to 3.5/4, which I’m ok with but do miss 6!

I am the same! Little one also 7 weeks and I too had 2 stretches last week when she would do 5/6 and now we’re back to 3/4. I think it’s cause they’re learning so much at the moment they can’t sleep for long.

Hang in there it won’t be for long 🩷

Mine is doing 2-3 hour stretches at 7 weeks and would love a 4 hour!!!!!!

I know 4 hours even would be bliss! Imagine going to bed at 10 amd getting up at 6 having only been up once for a feed 🤣 I'm on feed 3 so far! I'm so envious in the morning when he goes for his first nap!

I’m one of these people, I think a lot of it is just babies temperament. Both my boys have always been great sleepers (touch wood) and I don’t think we’ve done anything particular. But I always say they make up for it when they’re awake 😂

But my one bit of advice would be make sure they’re actually hungry, don’t be too quick to pick them up. We use dummies and once or twice in the night I have to spend 5 mins helping with him dummy and he goes back down. Sometimes I’ll get up ready to make the bottle but leave him in his bed with his dummy, and by the time I’ve come back in he’s drifted back off. It took me a while to realise we were getting him up a bit too premature and it may have been a habit wake instead of hunger wake. Since I give him a bit of extra time to go back down and didn’t jump to make a bottle, he wakes anywhere from 4-7am after going to bed between 7-8pm x

The longest stretch my little one has had in the crib is 3.5 hours if that makes you feel any better! He's 6 wo. Waiting for the day it gets longer!

Mine doesn’t go more than 2 hours and I’m starting to look like beetlejuice

mine is doing 1-2 hour stretches through the night😂 4 would be a dream!

My little boy is 10 weeks and still doesn't sleep through we get 4 hours at the most. Some babies are great sleepers and some arnt. We've tried everything and nothing helps so we just roll with it. Xx

If it makes you feel any better, this one is sleeping through but my 3y/o still wakes up through the night. I don’t think there’s much rhyme or reason, it just comes down to the child x

I felt the exact same as this - get so caught up on trying to find ways to get him to sleep through the night until I kept getting told that they are babies and it is perfectly normal for them to wake and feed every 3 hours day or night. They will sleep through when they do and nothing we do will change that it is all normal x
