night sleep

Cath slept through from 5 months, (she's just over 9 months now), from 6-7 to 6-7. Mind you she's only just got her first tooth today and it could all go pear shaped in the next couple of days.

I BF (didn't do EBM) so DH never had to get up at night, I should have done that and a formula feed much sooner.

Caths daytime sleep is a bit strange. Wakes at 6ish, goes down at 10ish, wakes 2 hours later (without fail), awake until 6ish. Crashes for night. Won't go to sleep during afternoon no matter how much we try.

Hannah was 10 weeks and never woke in the night again unless she was cold or sick etc which was very rarely.

Last week Greer slept 13 hours, then had jabs the next day and I think hit her 12 week growth spurt and was feeding every few hours again. But last night she did 7pm til 6.30am with a quick dream feed at 10. So 8.5 hours. She is 12 weeks now. Hopefully she continues with that!

Thats similar to how things have been here. I was waking her about 10pm, then she would wake between 2 and 4, then about 6.30 for the day. At least she was up and down again within 10 mins so not too disruptive. But we have had Hannah up in the night a bit as well and she takes way longer to get back to sleep - getting disturbed by Greer and a bit off colour herself.

stupid thing says I'm spamming!!!

i left him 10 mins that time..when i went to replace dummy(hes been grizzling whole time) he laughed at me:(

No we have never co-slept in the real sense. At one stage though Jack seemed to wake every hour or so, so he often slept most of the night in our bed as it was easier for me and I didn't seem to get so tired as I didn't really wake up fully each time. Since Jack started crawling I stopped completely as I was worried about leaving him in our bed in the morning if I woke before him. Just recently he has been waking anywhere from 4am-5.30am and takes ages to go back to sleep so I have brought him into our bed a bit recently.
I think alot of Jack's waking in the night is related to his teething. He got his first tooth at 5mths and he is now cutting 4 teeth to take his total up to 14 teeth. He doesn't cry with it, just doesn't want to sleep, just wants to cuddle. Plus he seems to have alot of wind, although this is reducing, which I think also relates to his teething.
I am dying for a full nights sleep and the silly thing is we are talking about TTC #2 early next year so even once I start getting a full night's sleep it likely won't last long!
