I'm not sure why doctors are still telling people that 4 month olds should sleep through the night. There's a huge sleep regression at that age.
My daughter didn't sleep through the night until 14 months. She was in the peak of her regression at 4 months and would sleep about 5-6 hours straight and then wake up every hour after that. It was rough.
My three year old woke up last night looking for me. He usually wakes up once in the night makes sure I am there and goes back to sleep. He will goto sleep 730ish wake up around 11 or so go right back to sleep if he doesn't need to pee then sleeps till 700. I bed share and have since he was newborn. When he wakes it bc I'm up and not in bed.
Our 18 month old does not STTN yet and never has. Sleep is developmental, and while younger babies CAN sleep for a long time and not necessarily need to be up, it's not unusual that they don't. Most adults don't STTN, we just know how to settle ourselves back to sleep better than little ones.
Same age, still gets up to eat. I have gotten 8-10 hour stretches, but that hasn’t happened in a bit. Usually goes to sleep around 6:30, nurses around 12-1, and again around 4, gets up for the day around 7. Like another PP said, I like that it keeps my supply up.
On another note, I don’t think he really needs to eat. When he gets up for the morning, I can easily wait an hour to feed him and he is perfectly happy. I think it’s just a comfort thing, which is perfectly fine too. I’m tired but I love that time with him.
Your kidding... right?!
My DS is 12m old and still wakes anywhere from 3-10 times a night. And nurses at least 3 times.
Doctors and other people (?) will tell you that they don’t need night feedings after 4 months and should be sleeping through the night.
Personally I think it’s BS, and each kid is different.
Oh okay, her doctor said there was no reason she shouldn't be sleeping through the night. My son did by 3 months though. She goes to bed at 8-9 then wakes at 1-2 ish for a feeding. Then again a number of times for her soother before I get up at 630 with my son.
At 4m my son pretty much slept thru the night from birth to about 4m. Then he started teething really bad a wakes up a little more but doesn’t stay up. Just wakes to nurse and go back to sleep. He’s 6m now with 2 teeth and the last few nights have been horrible in the middle of the night? My girls were both up every 2-3 hours till they were like 1-1 1/2.
