Good Sleepers

Hey Ladies,

I thought we shud have a page to celebrate all the good sleeps we get as well.

As I know alot of people have nights when they feel so happy about how there kids sleep but feel they cant put it on here cos they dont want to feel like they are being a show off. well why not, lets just do it. we shud be aloud to be proud.
so please join in & tell us about ur good sleep!!! (inc newborns, toddlers, older kids, or even just urself!!!)

I shall start...

Last nite my wee Jasmine slept 10mins shy of 9hours!!!! im so proud & feel fantastic! not bad for 5 1/2weeks!!!

lol I just had to peek my head in here cos I don't know what this is  but yay for the 2 of you so far....hope it continues for you!!   

I dunno Nicki, you might score and Lily could turn out like Clodagh...still waking twice nightly at 17 months old  

That's not bad for that age....we often have nights where Clody still wakes that often lol....but at least I night weaned her when I found out I was pg...I kind of figured at 9/10 months old she didn't NEED BF every 2 hours overnight....  ..so she settled for water and cuddles with Daddy (both of which are still going hehe).

All babies are different so I think it's great for those that have babies that are great sleepers! Lily was a great day sleeper until 5 months and I always felt bad about that because others had such a horrible time!

What a great idea for a thread!

We had such a rough start with DD, and had her awake from 5pm-ish until 11pm-ish every night from Aug til Dec last year, and during those months she was waking once or twice every night for a BF too. So I was knackered, hadn't cooked dinner in months, me and DH hadn't enjoyed any adult conversation etc etc... so something had to change!!!!

So we did some looking into solutions, read 'Save Our Sleep' and then started the monumental task of teaching our unsettled baby to self settle and live with a routine But IT WORKED! And I can honestly say that since January 10th this year, my baby has slept 11-12hrs EVERY NIGHT except when she's woken with a v snotty blocked nose a handful of times, when sick over winter.

DH and I love our evenings together, and even tho I adore DD, I really look forward to 7pm every day, when I can go back to being a grown up for a while! Once this pgncys over and baby boy isn't having a dreamfeed anymore, I can get back to enjoying a nice big wine in the evening too

DS is pretty good at settling down and has been since a wee baby, still doesn't sleep through but he goes to bed about 6 so we get to have adult time! I feel pretty lucky when I read about other babies crappy sleeping habits...

Both of my 2 are good day sleepers.

Ella at 3 Y 4M still sleeps 2-3 hrs during the day (anything less than 2 hrs is considered a bad sleep by her standars) and yet still sleeps12 hrs staight at night.

After a rough start, Tom is now a good day sleeper as well. nights are a work in progress....but we will get there eventually (I have hope in the fact that Ella didn't sleep through until she was 2, so eventually he will get there). Although last night he only woke up twice (9.30 and 3.30) so I am pretty stoked with that.

My kids are both great sleepers!! 

DD wasn't always that way and getting her to STTN took effort (just getting her to go to sleep took effort) but at 10mo I did sleep training with her and within 3 days we had it sorted.  DS was always a great sleeper and started STTN at 7mo.

Last night DS fell asleep during his feed so I was a bit worried he'd wake but he slept until his sister went in to "check on him" (aka wake him) at 5:45am. 

My big gloat for the day is that DD slept most of the night with dry knickers!!  She must have forgotten she wasn't wearing a nappy and had a little dribble when she first woke at 5:40am but I am so proud of her.  Not bad for her first night without a nappy.
