They like to trick you by doing it once!!!! Then not doing again. Spencer had been sleeping through for the last couple of weeks but for the last 3 nights he has woken me up at 4 then 2 and then 4 again last night. Think my sleeping nights are over again ]]> Fri, 02 Nov 2007 10:24:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=240077&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#240077 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=240039&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#240039 Author: jack_&_charli

Oh well, it was nice for one night
We dream fed her last night at 10pm hoping that we could have the same result but it was not to be. She woke again at 3.30am but it was still quite a stretch of time.
Tonight I think we will try waking her up properly for a full feed (not just a top up) and see if that works.
Gee, one night of a good sleep and I want more!! ]]> Fri, 02 Nov 2007 09:52:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=240037&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#240037 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239853&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239853 Author: Mama2two

Yay for Joy, that is definitley a good sign that she will sleep through the nights for you then
Just smile and consider yourself lucky to be one of the mums that gets to sleep at night

Wait until she starts to bring that bedtime back earlier and earlier over the coming months! We have Sam in bed now at 7pm and she sleeps through until 7am. Apart from the odd time waking during the night. (either with teething at the moment - ick!! - or a pooey nappy).
It is so nice to get your evenings back ]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:41:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239853&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239853 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239810&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239810 Author: sunnyhoney

Definitely! She cluster feeds from her feed in the early evening right through to around 10/10.30pm. Very tiring but if she is going to consistently sleep through the next two feeds due to that then yay!]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:07:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239810&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239810 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239732&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239732 Author: Mama2two

Well done to Joy!
Sam actually started sleeping through around this same age and when I worried outloud to my midwife she said that if she was hungry during the night she would be waking.
Is she cluster feeding in the evening before she goes down? I found Sam would feed almost hourly for the few hours before she went down for the night and that would keep her tummy full right through ]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 19:44:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239732&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239732 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239639&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239639 Author: busymum

Some bubbas start sleeping through at 6 weeks ish... for ever!

Thats fine, an hour is all they need to be awake for at that age, they really do need a lot of sleep. So long as she is still waking to feed all is good]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 14:44:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239595&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239595 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239547&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239547 Author: sunnyhoney

Ella started sleeping 8-9 hrs at night by 8 weeks and carried on doing this until she was 12/13 weeks...then she had a HUGE growth spurt and started waking up 2-3 times at night and this is still continuing
My advice would be...enjoy it while it lasts ]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 09:38:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239354&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239354 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239349&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239349 Author: ShellandBella

I don't think there is any hard and fast rule with this...they will do it when they are ready. As long as she's not OVERLY sleepy or showing any signs of being unwell, it might just be that she is going to be a good sleeper for you. Bella has only just started to sleep through the night but there are ladies in my plunket group whose babies slept through from day one...]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 09:30:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239349&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239349 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239313&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239313 Author: cuppatea

Hi, I don't think there is any particular time they should sleep through. It may have just been a once off. At around that time Spencer slept through one feed (so went 6 hours) he did that 5 times in a space of a fortnight and then didn't do it again till 4 months. She may be taking bigger feeds during the day, is really hard to tell if breastfeeding. If she woke this morning and is happy, feeding well, not lethargic and doesn't have a temp or anything I would say it is perfectly ok.
And woohoo for the big sleep]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 08:53:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239310&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239310 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11938&PID=239306&title=is-5-weeks-too-early-for#239306 Author: sunnyhoney

sleeping through the night???

Joy slept from 10.30 last night til 6.20 this morning. Although it was great to get a decent sleep, I worry that she missed two feeds.
Will this mean that she will be awake more during the day and want even more feeds?
