What age should my baby sleep through the night ?

Answer 1

1 month. It is so important to start sleep training after the first month. DO NOT let the baby sleep train you! I have a friend that had to wake up for 2 and a half years for her childs nightly bottle.

If you have waited more than a month, start now. It does not get easier. You can also let your baby tell you when they are ready to sleep through the night.

Answer 2

There is no set age for this, I'm sorry to say. I searched long and hard when my daughter was born 7 months ago in the hopes of finding some magic number to look forward to. Unfortunately, every baby is different-my first didn't sleep throught the night until he was 3 years old and my daughter slept throught the night at 4 months. Make sure that you are following a set routine each night, no matter how young the baby is- such as reading a book, a bath, a bottle and rocking. This will begin to signal to your baby that it is bedtime. Try extending bottles (if the baby is old enough) so that they stop waking every two hours for a bottle. If all else fails, there are plenty of books out there, such as 12 hours by 12 weeks or The No Cry Sleep Solution. Good luck!

Answer 3

My daughter started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks, my son was 18 months! Every child is so different, we have friends that are still getting up with 5 and 6 year olds through the night.

Answer 4

There is no set age. Our first child was sleeping through the night quickly (nearly immediately) and with our second it was much harder. My wife read tons of books, and with a lot of perserverance, our second little guy now sleeps 8pm through 7am for four nights in a row at exactly six months old!

Some of our friends have 2 year olds that still get up in the night.

Advice: stick to your routines, make sure the bedroom has no distractions. Make sure your little one is fed and clean, and the temperature is ok. And ultimately you will need to decide what method you use and if you are willing to let the little one cry in the night without confort.

good luck!

Answer 5

It depends on the child, my daughter was sleeping through the night at 1 month, but others might not until they are 4 or 5. You can try to help the baby by trying to get the baby use to day and night, and that night time is for sleep. Another thing that really helped me is knowing when to go get my crying baby, I tried to let her get use to soothing herself back to sleep. I kept her nap times short during the day. Just a few things that helped me through I hope you can find one that works for you and your baby.

Answer 6

That depends on the baby, my first slept through the night at 3 months old and my youngest didn't start sleeping through the night until he was a year old.

Answer 7

When the baby is ready. A lot of babies start sleeping throught the night around six to eight weeks. But some dont until they are a year. What helps=really, is if your baby is on a bottle, when the nighttime bottle feeding comes, mix bottle as follows: mix formula as usual and add one scoop of cereal per two ounces of liquid. The added cereal helps them to sleep longer because they arent so hungry. Rice cereal tends to stop them up and barley cereal tends to make them loose. I used the mixed grains on both my sons and it worked well. Neither one slept throught the night while I was breastfeeding and only started when I put them on the bottle. I only used the bottle at night for a while and continued nursing and pumping for awhile.

Answer 8

It totally depends on the kid. Is it bottle or breast? Is it going thru a growth spurt. Please do not try to put limitations on a newborn-try to be understanding that they grow while they sleep so they are very hungry when awake-even in the middle of the night. I had two that fell into a great pattern right off the bat but my oldest still gets up at night. The only difference is the autism. I am glad we didn't try to shove him into an age category-none apply with him.
Take care and congrats on the baby!!!!

Answer 9

I think it really depends on the child, but all three of my sons have slept through the night by the time they were one month old. The only exception being my son with Autism, ADHD and Bi-Polar had trouble going to sleep and was very restless, but he did sleep through the night.

I always made sure to have them ready for bed with a full belly and dry diaper and that seemed to help tremendously.

Answer 10

It varies widely, but typically a baby is developmentally ready to sleep through the night at 6-12 months. Some babies will do it earlier, and some later. And you can teach your baby to stop waking *you* at night by ignoring her/him for long enough. Babies are smart; most (although there are exceptions) will quickly learn that nighttime needs are too much trouble for their parents and will stop calling you when they wake up. But this is *not* good for them.
