Good Sleepers

Jade at 2yrs still sleeps 2hours from about midday, so hopfully ur wee 1 will be the same!

Michaela was over 3 when she stopped having a regular day sleep (I still sometimes get her to have a sleep even now when we've had a busy morning and she's clearly grumpy..... and I want a sleep).

Michaela had dry knickers when she got up this morning

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!!!

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.

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. I just keep repeating that this will pass.

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.

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.

haha I love that ! "went to check on him " naww !
and clever girl on the dry knickers!

OK I still totally don't qualify for this thread hehe  but had to boast too...Clodagh slept from 8pm- 4.30am straight this morning, then when Daddy went in she just said 'duddle' and he picked her up and went back to the single bed with her...and both slept for another 2 hours. THAT is a brilliant night for us!

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!

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
