My DS is 3 months old, and on Saturday night he decided to sleep for 8 hours. I of course did not sleep 8 hours since I spent half the night checking on him to make sure he was okay, since he hadn't woken up. But I am not making this a bragging post by any means. I just wanted to tell the rest of you to hang in there...it's gonna happen anyday, where you're baby will sleep through the night. Here I was just last week replying to someone's post about how I still have to get up with him during the night for feedings. Then bam, he decides to start trying to cut out those night feedings. However, my DH goes to work very early, so the alarm going off at 4:30am makes my little guy start stirring, so he usually get's up around then during the week to have a bottle, but then he goes right back down for another 2-3 hours, which is wonderful. But even if just for right now he's sleeping through the night once or twice a week, we'll take it! But again, hang in there!!!!!!

Hi Andilyn,

I hope that our tendency to have similar experiences continues. It may be. Liam slept for 5.5 hours last night. Of course this was in his carseat, starting at 9:30 and only after crying for an hour.

There is hope. Thanks,

Jen

Hi Jen!

I hope we continue to have similar experiences as well. 5 and a half hours is really good though! It's good to see you posting on here...I think about how when I was pregnant, I knew there was always someone else who was due the same day as me and had the preeclampsia just as I did and was also on bedrest. It always made me feel better! By the way, how is your b.p.? Mine isnt bad, around 130/70...at least I am off my meds for it and have been since the day Hunter was born.

My DD has been sleeping through the night one week before she was 3 months old. As of late - she sleeps nearly 12 hours total.....goes to bed about 9-9:30 and sleeps until 8:30-9 the following morning......couldn't ask for more than that.

Hi again Andilyn,

My BP is back to where it always is - 115/70 or so. It tool a week or so but then just came down.

ps- Liam has been asleep in his crib for two hours. Maybe the nap gods are smiling on me again.

My DS did not sleep that long until he was 11 months. That is after a horrible night weaning and having to not pick him up, just pat his back when he woke up. He never did it on his own. Consider yourself very lucky. I hope with my next one we have the same as you. That would be awsome. I remember with my DS thinking "I only have to make it 3 months, waking like this, and then he will start sleeping on his own a little longer" Grrr. It never happened. I think it was my fault. Everytime he woke at night I would grab him and nurse him right away. I know that is fine for a newborn, but I should have waited to see if he would settle himself when he was a little older instead of just getting him. Oh well live and learn. Congrats on your great little sleeper. :angel:

Jade is 16 weeks today. She's been sleeping through the night since around 8 weeks. Lately though she wakes up about 4 but it's not because she is hungry. She has cut two teeth already and some more are cutting in. Her two bottom teeth are in. So I just rub tylenol on them and she goes back to sleep. I can handle that. She also is stirring a lot more because she has learned to turn onto her tummy well then she moves everywhere but never wakes up. Me being the nervous nelly I hear her on the monitor and run into her room. She is fast asleep though. This last week she hasn't even woken up because of her teeth but I wake up since I hear her moving. My Mom says I need to just relax because she is at the age where she will turn her head so she can breathe. Ahhhh my baby sleeps and I still don't lol.
