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!]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 11:19:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=377098&title=night-sleep#377098 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376949&title=night-sleep#376949 Author: ElfsMum

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. ]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 08:52:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376937&title=night-sleep#376937 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376930&title=night-sleep#376930 Author: ElfsMum

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! ]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 08:48:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376927&title=night-sleep#376927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376921&title=night-sleep#376921 Author: cuppatea

Spencer slept through for the first time just after 4 months, by sleeping through I mean about 7pm -5am.
Then at 5 months he started waking twice a night again, that went on for a week or two and then he started sleeping 7pm-6am and slowly over the months it became more like 7pm-7.30am.
Now he is waking at night again normally around 3am, dunno what it is all about, he was ill so his routine got messed up and then another tooth came through and the last couple of days his checks have been on fire but he isn't grizzly with it and goes to bed just fine. So basically I dunno, If you had asked three weeks ago I would have said he has been sleeping through fine for months but now its a different story.]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 08:43:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376921&title=night-sleep#376921 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376772&title=night-sleep#376772 Author: Rackhell

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.

Maya was 7 weeks, the gremlins were 15 weeks, but with them, they went from waking and screaming for hours during the night to suddenly sleeping from 10.30pm till 7am.
I swore by dream feeds with all of my girls, and probably will with this one too altho I know some people have found they don't work for some babies. I found the dummy more nuisance than good, one night I got up 20+ times in one hour to put them back in so I gave up.]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 20:34:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376591&title=night-sleep#376591 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376582&title=night-sleep#376582 Author: myfullhouse

Jack has never slept through the night, a few times he has slept about 6hrs but I could count those times on 1 hand! Although he seems to have been teething forever and he never sleeps well then! I think that I have just some how learnt to function with only 6hrs of broken sleep. My DH often doesn't wake when Jack does which generally doesn't bother me, he has to work and I have only ever bf Jack (no expressing) so DH often couldn't do anything anyway]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 20:26:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376582&title=night-sleep#376582 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376537&title=night-sleep#376537 Author: popcorn

Once I got serious about T learning to self settle he started consistently sleeping through the night from 11 weeks. the self settling thing seems to be the key, he has a snuggly thing (kaloo rabbit) and if he wakes I think he just sucks that and goes back to sleep. He has woken a couple of times when sick but other than that is still sleeping through ffrom 7-7. does he sleep well during the day?

If you are having to get up in the middle of the night to replace his dummy, perhaps you should try weaning him from it so at least that's one thing you don't have to deal with.

DH didn't always wake to Daniel either but I made a deal with him that on the night he was taking over from me, if he didn't get up immediately I was allowed to give him a kick so he knew to get up and make a bottle. ]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 16:39:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376399&title=night-sleep#376399 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376379&title=night-sleep#376379 Author: arohanui

as as far as dram feeding i tried it once and he vomited everywhere at 4am too scared to try again..atm he is asleep by 730 then up anytime between 1030-2 then up at least once more...sometimes i have to ge tup twice to put dummy back in too..

rachandjack i dont mind...i know it might be a while.. i just want another baby not too far away but he's gotta be sleeping ALOT better before that!

Daniel went through stages of sleeping through and not all the way up until about 6 months then he started getting through until 4am, but that was for a short feed then back in bed within 10 mins.

Can your DH help you out over the weekends or anything. Like he do one night of getting up for the feeds so you can get a solid nights sleep?

Or try cluster feeding in the evening. We did this with Daniel for a time, bottle at 6pm, bed 6:30pm, dream feed bottle at 8:30ish then another at 10:30ish. Helped him sleep a bit longer.]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 14:50:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376282&title=night-sleep#376282 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16991&PID=376276&title=night-sleep#376276 Author: arohanui
