my little boys 5m should he be sleeping through the night at this age? he still gets up every 4hrs for a feed at night can't wait for him to start sleeping through and I can finally have some decent sleep. loads of people tell me their babies are sleeping through at this age and I can't help but think why is Jenson not x
I have heard that once they have doubled their birth weight they should no longer need feeding through the night xx however this is just a guide x with Harvey I tried just giving him his dummy instead of a bottle obviously if he still cried I would feed him but this seemed to work for him xx
he useally goes to sleep around 8.30 then up around 1am then 4am then up for the day around 7am so between 8.30 and 7am he's useally up twice in the night for feeds rarely he has slept through but only once or twice rest of the time he's like that @sara-lou
It really depends. Babies don't always wake because their hungry. Sometimes it becomes habit. 5months is still young so it's perfectly normal for him to still wake for a feed. But if he was waking 2 or more times I'd try probably try water or other distractions.
Mine and I'm sure he will start sleeping through soon
you don't think what's normal @babyrosy1 what my babies doing or yours?
My son has a last feed at 11-12 then wakes up at 3 am and then again at 7am I get some decent sleep and he's 2weeka old and I don't honk that's normal for this age
if there waking up and crying are they not hungry though @sara-lou I try settling hon with his dummy and sometimes he guess back but most of the time he cries until I give him milk drinks the whole 6/7oz then goes back to sleep for another 4hrs useally I've just started weaning him he had one meal a day useally veg at lunchtime then the rest of the time he's on 7oz milk I thought weaning him would make him sleep as he would be fuller lol obviously not. he loves his food though just hates baby rice and porridge he prefers his veg and fruit x
I used to get so annoyed when people comment oh isn't she sleeping through yet but I just gather she will do it when she's ready. might be exhausting and hard work but each baby is different. x
I think it's luck of the draw when they sleep through. Some babies do it earlier than others. My nephew never slept through until he was 2yrs. Have you tired offering water when he wakes instead of milk? My sister said she tried that & he eventually realised he wasn't getting milk & water wasn't worth it so started waking less then eventually just once a night lol
Evelyn is nearly 6 months old and doesn't sleep through so you're not alone x
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
