At what age did your baby began sleeping through the night?

Question

My baby just turned 6 months and hes pretty much sleeping all night long. He still asks for his bottle at 12:30 am and at 7am but hes practically asleep. I was wondering if your babies are sleeping.

Answer 1

6 weeks from 7-3, wake for bottle, sleep until 7am. But I have a ridiculously easy baby that has spoiled me for any future babies. I'm pretty sure if I have another she'll be like I was as a baby 12-5, and 2 twenty minute naps. Yikes!
I can never have another baby! :-)

Answer 2

My baby began sleeping through the night when he was 17 weeks old. He gave up the night feedings on his own- first he gave up the 10 pm, a week later he stopped waking for the 1 am, and then 2 weeks later, at 17 weeks old, he stopped wakign for the 4 am bottle. He did wake for short periods (just a few minutes) and then right back to sleep as long as we didn't go into his room- so sort of a cry-it-out method. But he never cried for long periods. He is now 6 months old, and he is a great sleeper. We are lucky!

Answer 3

Babies generally have the capacity to "sleep through the night"..which really just means sleep an uninterrupted span of time..it doesn't necessiarly mean sleep 8 hours like we wish. But anyway..they generally have the capacity to do this at 4 months old. However, it doesn't mean that they do.

It sounds like your baby has a routine that he eats at 12:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.

It will be hard but if I were you I would phase out that 12:30 feeding. He'll wake up but you'll have to calm him back to sleep. (Will feel like torture to you but it shoudl only take about 3 or 4 nights)..do other things to quietly calm him to sleep. Make sure he has a nice full belly when you put him down at night. And then 7:30 a.m. is a pretty respectable time for him to wake up for his breakfast bottle.

Good luck.

I know it's not easy. I have three. But they've all been sleeping through the night since they were 4 months old.

Answer 4

My first son slept through the night from the very beginning
My second started around 6 months
my third, is turning 3 and still wakes up at night sometimes, but goes back to sleep right away. He was the one I had problems with sleeping. He woke up every 2 hours for the first year and a half.

Answer 5

6 or 7 months but I didnt allow her to sleep with bottle because that messes up there teeth. I let her cry though for feeding time like at 12:30 but by 7 or 8 my baby was up

Answer 6

My daughter slept through from the time we brought her home from hospital. She would take 6 to 8 ounces at about 10:00pm and wouldn't wake until about 6:30 next morning when she took another 6 to 8 ounces, she would "snack" the rest of the day on and off taking in 2 to 4 ounces until about 10:00. She set her own feeding schedule and with her sleeping all night I didn't complain LOL

Answer 7

My boy stopped needed to eat at night when he was 3 months and sleep through the night from then on, instead of giving him a bottle at 12:30 let him cry. At his his age he doesnt need the bottle at night for nurishment its just a habit now. 7 a.m is a good time for breakfast, give him cereal instead of a bottle it will fill him up longer.

Answer 8

My daughter slept through the night (8 hours) at 5 weeks of age. She's 8 months old now and she sleeps about 10 hrs every night.

Answer 9

My first son became approximately 2-and-a-0.5 whilst he began sound asleep throughout the time of the night... I breastfed him till he became a year previous, and he then gave up via himself... yet he nonetheless endured waking a minimum of as quickly as. My 2nd son became in basic terms some months previous whilst he slept via (or a minimum of six hours). Bottle-fed infants do no longer inevitably sleep extra useful; it somewhat relies upon on the youngster. At 8 months he ought to have the flexibility to wake and latch on via himself without waking you, once you're co-sound asleep - i recognize of youngsters who proceed to try this till they're approximately 2 years previous, and the mum many times would not recognize the youngster has woken. If once you're saying he's solely breastfed you mean he hasn't began the different ingredients yet, it may desire to be a good theory to purpose him on some fruit or vegetables, the two as finger ingredients and gently stewed or mashed (which comprise bananas) throughout the time of the sunlight hours.

Answer 10

My dear,
Babies that wake up during the night do so out of need, not manipulation. They need your comforting, milk, love... I know it's super hard to not get enough sleep, but do it for your baby's sake and don't let your baby cry alone to sleep. This sends a message from early on saying, " you are not worth the trouble". How scary would it be to wake up in the middle of the night crying for the one person who makes you feel safe and instead you are left alone to deal with it!
