How beautiful must be
To have a baby that at 21 months sleeps nicely through the night and wakes up at a decent time (7am would be already a good time)?
I cannot stop thinking how being it must be for the parents of those babies who are now finally sleeping through the night and not waking up before 6am.
I’m so so done with the night awakenings and early rise and a grumpy baby since the time he opens his eyes

If you haven’t already and you don’t mind a read, try grabbing the 7pm to 7am sleeping baby Routine book by Charmain Mead. I read it in pregnancy and I don’t know whether it’s a fluke or not but my 13wo sleeps 9.30-7am consistently and I applied loads of the tips in that book!
I’m jealous of the people who’s babies that started sleeping through at 5-6 months, and everything after that.
Mine is only 16 months, usually 2-3 wakes, but mine at least wakes around 8 most of the time.
I had 2 amazing sleepers and my 3rd (almost 21m) is a whole kettle of fish. I lost count of how many wake ups there were last night.
My daughter is two and still not sleeping with our second baby on the way! Last night we were up from 2-5! It’s a killer, I feel your pain
I just have to say here I have a 17 month old, 3 yr old and 6 yr old, they all take it in turns waking me up 🤣 I hope you are getting some sleep in between, and lots of coffees in the day! I think you get to a point of acceptance, it’s hard with the first as you focus so hard on the sleep, but try and get that rest in the day while you can 🙏🏻
Mine is 18 months, goes to bed 10pm, sleeps through, wakes at 8am and has a 1 hour nap during the day. Shes well rested and happy (except for the tantrums) during the day. Not all toddlers need 13-14 hours of sleep everyday, have you tried a later bedtime and capping his nap?
It feels very normalising to hear everyone's experiences!
Mine is 19 months and goes to sleep around 7:30/ 8pm, he tends to wake up 2-3 times and gets up around 6:30/7am. For me it's not the number of times as such but how long it takes to get him back to sleep (and so how long I need to be awake for) that's a killer!
I’ve tried everything (I also did read that book) we have had just a handful number of episodes of sleeping through the night and waking up at seven (nothing particularly different than usual) and it was amazing, we thought “oh maybe finally that’s it!?” And eventually it all went all wrong again
Yeah can totally understand that feeling! It's so crushing. I think I've learnt not to have expectations... It's so easy to think 'ok that's sorted now' but when I have it's always changed. So trying to be mindful and see each day as its own thing and not try and predict anything and that helps

Sleeping and not waking for feeds.
My baby is 3 weeks old and the last two nights has slept for 5 and a half hours without waking for a feed. I’m waking him up to feed him at this point as I’m panicking he’s gone too long without a feed. Is anyone else’s baby sleeping for this long at a time? Is it normal?

Sleep
My 4 week old will only sleep 40 mins at night before wanting to be breastfed again is anyone else experiencing the same?, after 5/10 mins she’ll fall back asleep and do the exact same, during the day she can sleep for nearly 2/3 why is that ?
She’s both bottle and breast fed my partner gives her bottle at night before bed to give me a little rest

12 week sleep
My baby is 3 months next week and has gone from sleeping 5-6 hour stretches to waking every 1.5-2 hours.
She’s also started sucking her thumb when she wakes. I don’t know if I should leave her to try and self settle as I’m currently feeding every time but it’s exhausting.
Any advice? I’m really hoping it’s a growth spurt or regression.
