How old is your little one & how long do they sleep at night?
Would love to hear at what age your baby started sleeping 5+ hours

wow š„ŗš what did you do?!?

My boy is 9 weeks old and sleeps usually a 4 hour stretch at night followed by a 3 hour stretch. Every once in a while heāll sleep a 5 hour stretch but I donāt count on it!
Every baby is different and donāt stress on it too much! You will eventually sleep again (speaking as a second time mom)
My first baby was the worst sleeper and woke up every 2 hours up until he was about 9 months old. Now heās 3 years old and has no problems sleeping.
I know itās hard right now but itāll get easier!

oh wow! So they only get up once at night for a feed? Are they breast or bottle fed?

My 6 week old usually sleeps 4-6 hours and then another 2-3 hours and has since about 3 weeks old. My pediatrician told me at 2 weeks to start a routine that starts at the same time every night and consists of bath time, lotion baby, put on a pj outfit and then bottle and put to sleep. He stressed that it should be a quick process and ever since we started the routine sheās sleeping better. He told us not to read books at night but I have heard others that do and it works so I think the importance is a specific routine at the same time every night.

lol š not eventually

My girl is 9 weeks and she sleeps from 9:00pm-4:00am and started doing that around 7 weeks

Sheās 9 weeks On average 3-4 hours. But some nights sheāll sleep 6 and some she wakes up every hour š« hopefully it gets more consistent soon.

thatās so interesting because iāve resd that formula babies eat every 3-4 hours in the day & breastfed babies eat more frequently so i love hearing stories that donāt fit what the āinternetā says

Shes 9 weeks and she sleeps 5 hours! Last night was her first time she slept from 10pm to 5am! Mine is also formula fed

at 3 weeks my lo started sleeping 6 hours then wakes to feed at 2-3am and sleeps for about 3 hours & then heāll wake again around 6am and 9am. after the 9am feed thatās when heās ready to start his day and be alert. During the day we only get short naps (20-30mins) and i would say about 4-5 naps during the day.

yeah trying to remember that it is just hard as a FTM not to compare or wonder why your LO isnāt sleeping the same etc.

7.5-10 hours.. 8 weeks today!
This started around 3 1/2 weeks

Every baby is different! We didn't change anything in his night routine & we started the routine at like 5 weeks... but he went from 2-3 wake ups to 2 and then 1 within maybe 3 weeks. He started sleeping through the night right around 10 weeks and he is 12.5 now. He goes 11-12 hours at night. Again we didn't change anything... it just started happening. He is SO active now so I think that helps to burn calories. I've also upped his ounces during the day so he has full feeds. He has 6oz bottles about every 3 hours & then a 4oz bottle around bedtime. I know he likes around 28oz for the day so I aim for that. Again every baby is different and I think we just got lucky. We even transitioned out of swaddle last week. It's normal for sleep to be all over. He isn't the greatest napper but it's a tradeoff for a full night sleep.

My 8 weeks old sleeps a 5+ hour stretch then wakes up about 2-3 hours twice a night before heās up for the day.
