still sleeping great at night here! And even better when she goes to bed. I ask if she wants to and she nods, say brush your teeth and she runs to the bathroom and climbs up on the stool, kiss and cuddles for grandma and she runs to mum and whoever else is around at the time then to our bedroom please and she runs down there. LOVE IT

She does have a blanky which she sleeps with and has trouble sleeping if its not there funny one night I didn't have it in the cot so had to come back out to get it she stood there looking at me and as soon as I chucked it at her she grabbed it and dropped down to sleep. CUTE

Oh and I don't think I have had wake ups when she is sick or teething either! A couple of times she shouts out but its literally a quick cuddle, or give her her blanky and back asleep]]> Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:14:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1196797&title=good-sleepers#1196797 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : Resurrecting this to say my beaut...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1196614&title=good-sleepers#1196614 Author: Kalimirella

Finally!
I am so proud of my DD sleeps. People always ask how the sleeping or feeding is going and almost look disappointed when i say brilliantly!
Our darling has pretty much slept tho since 8 weeks (thank you Gina Ford!)
She has always gone down at 7pm, no worries
She sleeps from 7 to 7 with a quik feed at 10pm. poor hubby has to get up at 5.30am to go to work and i get to sleep till 7 :) its brillant!

Awesome thread!

My DS has slept through since he was 9 weeks old. Only time he wakes is when sick. And thats hardly ever.

He also sleeps 2 - 3 hours a day. and on the weekends if the house is quiet, and his door is half shut he will sleep till 8.30am! Is awesome! But why do i wake at 7... who knows. Hoping number 2 is the same!!!! ]]> Tue, 02 Nov 2010 20:45:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1190883&title=good-sleepers#1190883 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : I have fantasic sleepers!

I have fantasic sleepers! I feel very blessed!

DD1, now 15 months has consistently slept 12-14hours from 9 weeks. Obviously this is interupted when sick/teething etc.

DD, 7 weeks, has been sleeping 11hours from 6 weeks.

DD1 has recently started to wake a lot earlier- 630am, but DD2 wakes at 6am..so it is no loss. She still sleeps atleast 2 hours in the afternoons.

My DD is normally a great sleeper, 11-12 hours O/N and then 2 -3 hours a day at 15 months. A bit of good luck and a bit of hard work to get this. However has 4 large teeth coming through atm and is waking early and having shorter naps.

Jody slept 12 - 14 hours from about 6 weeks.

UNTIL RECENTLY grrrrrr.

Since I have been spoilt with this magical sleeping beast, I think it is terrible that she now won't go to sleep until about 8pm (gasp!) and that's only if I or DH sit in the room with her. She gets up with the sun, this morning was 5:30am.
I think she's broken.

She still sleeps for about 2 hours during the day, but I have to sit with her until she falls asleep.

I'm shattered today!  Both kids slept really well as usual but I was up watching a movie until 11:30pm and then I went up to bed and realised that I'd stripped it to wash the sheets but hadn't remade it I eventually got to bed at 12am which meant I got 6 hours before the kids woke up.  Then I stole another 30 minutes in the single bed in Andrews room while the kids played, before they demanded breakfast.  Usually I'd go down for a rest now while Andrew has his day sleep but Michaela has ballet rehearsals in an hour so no rest for the wicked today.

Cool thread!

Jake still sleeps for 2-3 hours during the day at 3yr4mths and does 11hrs overnight. He had heart surgery at 6wks old so didn't sleep well while sick .... but still managed to sleep through (7-7) by 12wks. He rarely wakes (fell out of bed a couple of times and cried but nothing else in the last 2 years) - he went into a bed at 19mths and has never got out in the night apart from one night when he had rotovirus and had thrown up in his bed!

Morgan only ever woke once in the night apart from the very odd night and slept thru every night by 5wks!!! she was a little hard to get down in the evening at first, but all good by 3 months (apart from growth spurts) now she sleeps 7pm til about 6.30/7am, and does a 1.5-3.5hr day nap depending on how tired she is. She only wakes if really sick or teething.

I love my great sleeping kids!!! ]]> Fri, 29 Oct 2010 21:26:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1188040&title=good-sleepers#1188040 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : My bubby slept 11 hours last night...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1187746&title=good-sleepers#1187746 Author: Kalimirella

Hannah's only just dropped her day sleep, 3 months shy of her third birthday.
I mainly enforce that, though, because she will sleep between 2 and 3 hours and be IMPOSSIBLE to get down at night before 9:30.
This way she's asleep by 7:30pm and will sleep for 12 hours.

She was 8 months old before she'd sleep at least 9 hours a night. Her day usually started at 5:30am until 15 months, when she switched to 6am.

Mason is much more civilised.
Until 9 weeks old woke only once a night for an hour.
From 9 weeks he's slept for at least 9 hours.
The last two nights he's done 10+ hours.

YAY for all the wicked night sleepers.

well done MrsMojo on the sleeping.

I have done alot of hard work and DD now sleeps through the night, has since she was about 3months, started doing 10hrs at5mths then 11+ at 11mths. I wont accept her waking up any earlier then 7am. She does have patches where sleep is disturbed and she wakes abit but normally its nothing abit of a cuddle can't fix.

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.

Nutella i also feel really bad wen i read about all the bad sleepers there are, (or not really bad, just not ideal!) thats why i thought we needed sumwhere to celebrate our gud sleeps & hopefully not put anyones noses out. ]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 09:09:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186683&title=good-sleepers#1186683 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : DS is pretty good at settling...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186567&title=good-sleepers#1186567 Author: Nutella

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...]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 00:58:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186567&title=good-sleepers#1186567 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : Can I join in the gloaters club?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186541&title=good-sleepers#1186541 Author: luvmylittlies

Can I join in the gloaters club? My daughter slept through (7-7) from about 10 weeks old and apart from a few stray nights it's stayed that way. Probably just luck but I like to think we did something right as well. Even during her awful refluxy months she still slept 12 hours at night. Actually she's so good that I secretly enjoy the odd time she does wake in the middle of the night so I can doze with her having a cuddle and a feed.]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 22:37:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186541&title=good-sleepers#1186541 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : What a great idea for a thread!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186518&title=good-sleepers#1186518 Author: luckystar

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 ]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:43:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186518&title=good-sleepers#1186518 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : Loving that 90% of the time we...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186517&title=good-sleepers#1186517 Author: Kimnthekids

Loving that 90% of the time we get a 6:30pm till 6:15am sleep with no wakes AND that she's still keen to do a 3 hour nap provided we're at home and isnt sick. Not that i ever really plan for 3 hours of uninterrupted stuff, and find instead i rush about and do a chore, then check, then do more bitty bits while waiting for her to wake lol.]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:41:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186517&title=good-sleepers#1186517 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : All babies are different so I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186497&title=good-sleepers#1186497 Author: High9

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! ]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:17:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186497&title=good-sleepers#1186497 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : Yay Kalimirella, thats awesum....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186364&title=good-sleepers#1186364 Author: M.i.s.s.y

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).]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 18:47:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186363&title=good-sleepers#1186363 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : Lol Lily still wakes about 3-4...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186260&title=good-sleepers#1186260 Author: High9

I dream of the day my DD will sleep through but that will mean she is growing up!

Hehe,
Yes I'm also so proud of my wee bubba who has been sleeping 11.5-12 hours every night since 3 1/2 mths (excepting maybe 5 nights (not in a row) when she was teething or feeling sick)

And I'm also glad that because of her willingness to sleep I get to stay up and do adult stuff before going to bed yay.

And I also love that she only stays up for 1 hour in the mornings before going back to bed for 2 hours so i get an extended sleep in option :D]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 11:02:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1186020&title=good-sleepers#1186020 <![CDATA[Good Sleepers : Hey Ladies, I thought we shud...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36433&PID=1185968&title=good-sleepers#1185968 Author: M.i.s.s.y
