Some kids don’t sleep thru the night for a long time especially if they are breastfed :(

My boy is about to be 19 months and he still doesn’t sleep through the night. Sorry that isn’t what u want to hear. He eats breakfast, lunch, dinner plus snacks with 1-2 naps during the day. And he nurses alllll the time. Hoping we get some sleep soon, hang in there.

@iam_ashleylynn, well I guess it’s comforting knowing it’s normal! The only examples I have to go on were my nephews who slept through the night at 3 months. But, my sister fed them formula so I guess that’s why. I had high hopes because he’s been sleeping like this since maybe a month old. Only waking a few times to nurse and going right back down so I though maybe it would be a lot better by now.

My son didn't until 18 months... Not even once.

My daughter still doesn't and ake eats like a trucker

@newlyironman, he has a handful of times. When we have a big day and he misses a nap, or has to be woken up early from a nap.

@meganph, I think formula vs breast makes a difference. My son is formula fed and he’s been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months old. If you pump, you can start giving your baby a dream feed with a bottle instead of breast to see if that starts slowing down his night feeds. At 6 months old they don’t really need a night feed but baby must already be used to it. Your pediatrician would know best though.

My oldest Didn’t sleep through the night till he was 13-14 months and it’s when I took the bottle away from him and my 7 month old still gets up 3-4 times a night to eat and he takes two naps a day usually only 40 minutes long if I’m lucky and he is formula fed he eats breakfast and dinner I took out his lunch because he wouldn’t take a second nap and he slept even worse at night time from being over tired

Some kids just unfortunately don’t sleep through the night till there older I tried the whole oatmeal before bed and it didn’t help at all I hope we all get some sleep soon though!!

@meganph it's a developmental thing, like walking or talking. Some babies just their time. This too shall pass

Hang in there momma eventually he sleep through the night, I got 8m old wakes up every hour

@k.i.k.i, oh no 😩 recently he went through a phase for a week or so where he was up every hour I was like what is going on! This is worse than the newborn stage!!

@meganph have you heard of sleep regression ? You should really look it up it has good info I see that your baby is 6m there's a sleep regression around that time

My daughter is 6 months old , breastfeeding also and doesn’t sleep through the night 🤦🏻‍♀️

@k.i.k.i, yea that’s what I was thinking was going on before when he started getting up every hour or so for that week. Now he is back to his regular sleeping most of the night but waking two or three times to nurse.
