sleeping at night
posted 21st Aug '07
my son is 3 months 1 week he is 14.5 lb he started sleeping 6 hours at 7 weeks. now he sleeps from 9:30 pm to 8:30 am (no feedings in between) Is that too long for an infant to sleep or should I count my blessings and stop questioning? He is in a good mood all day long so there is no indication that he is sleeping too much or anything.
.
how long are your babies sleeping?

Count your blessings! He's old enough that he will wake himself up when he needs it. My 4 month old still wakes up twice a night to nurse lol.

Raynah sleeps from about 11 to 6 eats then goes right back to sleep until 8 or so. I say we are very lucky so count your blessings!

You're very very luck! My 6 month old still won't sleep through the night...at this point though she doesn't 'need' that nighttime feeding...her ped says so...lol It's more for comfort I guess...and I don't know how to cut it out other than just letting her cry and deal with it...but I need to be in bed at a decent hour for several nights before I'll attempt that...

My daughter was sleeping 12 hours through the night at 12 weeks as well.
Count your blessings... it's only hard now during teething times when she wakes during the night...

I think that's fine. Dillon has been sleeping 6-8 hours lately and I figure he will wake up and let me know when he is hungry. I know of some babies that wake up a few times a night at this age and I consider myself lucky, but always on the lookout for the night he doesn't cooperate.

That's really good! Julia will sleep for about 4-6 hours, wake up, eat... I'll change her diaper... and then she'll go back to sleep for another 3-5 hours. She feeds every 2-3 hours during the day.
