Hi all, my baby is 12 weeks old and has always slept in the next to me crib fine. He can settle himself to sleep initially but he wakes up around 3-4 times a night for a feed. Everyone I speak to seems to have had a full nights sleep but I haven’t had one since he’s been born (or since about 25 weeks pregnant) He only wakes up and feeds for 10 minutes and goes straight to back to sleep but it would be nice for a full night or at least something longer than 4 hours.. Please tell me I’m not alone 🤣

OMG you are not alone at all and I have had the same with mum friends saying they put their babies down for the night and that’s it…. My little one however is still up between 2/3 hours for a feed….. and it’s 8-10 minutes I’m so tired but trying to tell myself it won’t last forever and I will miss it eventually xx

you are not alone! my 12 week old does every 2 hours! its developmentally normal for them to wake in the night 🥰

Same here (14 week old). Usually 3 hours at the start then 2 hours, then every 1 hour. This week he wants a wake window about 6am and then another 1-2 hour nap.
And I always feed back to sleep which may be where I’m going wrong but who knows 🤷🏼♀️🫠

Definitely not alone! My baby is 13 weeks and the most he’s slept in one go is 5.5hrs and that was only once or twice! We’re usually every 2-4hrs. Like everyone said, it’s developmentally ‘normal’ and expected for them to wake during the night! It’s more common for babies to wake than sleep through and remember what you hear from other mums might not always be the full truth.☺️
