Should my 3 month old son be sleeping all through the night yet?

Question

My son only sleeps for about 2 or 3 hours at a time during the night is this normal or should he be sleeping all through the night?

Answer 1

oh thats funny
my 4 1/2 mth old wakes every hour
none of my kids slept the night until at least 1
sleep deprivation is part of parenting im afraid

Answer 2

Remember, each baby is different. My son started sleeping through the night when he was 3 months old. However, he would wake after 5 hours to be fed and go back to sleep for another 5 hours. Most babies should be sleeping through the night (5 hours is considered "through the night" in infant standards) around 5 months. Just be patient. It takes time. One night you'll put him down to sleep and wake up 7 hours later in a panic and realize that he slept through the night. It will happen!!

Answer 3

My son is 4 months old and hes been sleeping though since he was about 2 months old - this is the exception though, im very lucky!! The average for kids to start sleeping though is about 6 months. With my son, ive always made sure he has a bottle about half an hour before going to bed for the night - i dont know if this is the trick, but it seems to help with him. Even if hes already drifting off to sleep, i will wake him up for that last bottle (usually around 7-715 then he goes to bed about 745). Hope this helps, but as i said, i think my son might be the exception and not the rule

Answer 4

All babies are different when it comes to when the sleep through the night. My daughter was sleeping through the night at 5 weeks old. A friend of mine has a son that will be 5 years old soon and he still doesn't sleep through the night!

Answer 5

My daughters about 10 weeks old, and sometimes sleeps through the night...but she weighed 8-13 at birth and now weighs 13-6!! She wakes mostly now takes a couple sips thru the night and goes right back to sleep most of the time...but she sleeps with me too...

Answer 6

Wishful thinking hun, my daughter is 7 months old and still wakes up 2-3 time a night, not for a feed but she wakes up. He will start sleeping through when he's good and ready, he's still just a lil fella, just be patient.

Answer 7

My babies did not sleep through the night until they were 8 months old.

Answer 8

3 months and sleeping through the night...you're dreaming :) Each baby is different, but many don't sleep through the night until 6 months to a year! At 3 months, he still needs to feed at regular intervals. If you're ever concerned, you should talk to your doctor but this is completely normal. Take naps when you can because you've got a ways to go!

Answer 9

All night long at 12 weeks? ROFL That would be a miracle for many kids and far from the norm. Growth spurts also mean eating more and waking up more---so be warned :)

One of my kids didn't sleep all night long until he was 1.

Answer 10

My daughter has slept through the night since 2 months old with the odd night of waking a couple of times. I think that it depends on if they are being breast or bottle fed as well. My daughter is bottle fed and goes longer between feeds than what she did when I breast fed her.
