Default He WAS sleeping through the night........

OK need some advice.

The Saturday before last, DS slept 9 1/2 hours. ( THANK GOD) Then had a couple of days where he was up every 5-6, then on Wednesday he slept 8 hours, Thursday 9 hours, and Friday 9 hours. THEN Dummy me left both boys with my mom for a couple of hours in the afternoon. He ended up going to sleep at 4:00 pm and woke up at 9 then 1:30 then 5:30. NOw we are back to waking up every 5-6 hours.

Our Dr says b/c of his weight he needs to be sleeping through the night. He was 14lbs 9 oz, on Friday. That he needs to learn that sleep is just as important as eating. And during the day is when is needs to get his nurishment. So why the change from sleeping through the night to not?? DO i go back to when he gets up trying to get him to go back to sleep without nursing??? or do I let him do what he wants to do. The only thing Dh and I really really believe in, is "you never wake a sleeping baby" SO if he goes to bed at 6:30 like DS#1 then he goes to sleep, but he should go till 2:30 then, (which to us an 8 hour stretch we consider sleeping through the night)

I hope that makes sense. Any advice. Will he sleep through the night again on his own??

Well, I think I may just have to go back to not feeding him when he gets up at 1:00am and try to get him to go back to sleep. it works but sometimes only for 1/2 hour, so when I do it I don't get ANY sleep. But hey if it gets him back to sleeping through the night, I guess I will get caught up then.

Mason has slept through the night 3 days in a row now from 6or 7 pm to 6 or 7 in the morning. We had our 2 month appt yest. and when I told the dr., he said that now IF he should get up in the middleof the night now, I am not to feed him. He said I can let him go and cry or whatever to my tolerance, or go in and soothe him without feeding. He said that if you start feeding in the middle of the night he will start to expect it, and then we will be going backward. HTH. Good luck getting your DS to go back to sleeping through the night.

Mason's mom - That is what I was thinking. I can't just let him cry, b/c the dr did say that it was hunger pains waking him but he DOESN"T need to eat, so I guess I will go back to holding and rocking and no sleep to get back to where we were.


Hey sox's- I think it depends on the babies weight, wether or not they can make it through the night. So don't expect to much if your baby is small, I don't remember what your's weights.


This is why NO ONE watched DS #1 till DS#2 was born. I knew I wasn't crazy.

I hope I haven't put myself backwards...
Hannah had slept through the night for 4 nights in a row. The past 2 nights she has been back up at 3 am and then goes right back to sleep. She really only eats for about 10 minutes though. I really don't mind getting up with her but I'm not sure I want to be doing it 6 months from now!

Luckily, he hasn't woken up in the middle of the night so far( 3 nights and counting). So I'm not sure if I will just let him cry or what. I can only take about 10 min. tops of crying anyway, I just breaks my heart.

I def won't be feeding him though. My ped. said that he's trying to tell me that he is ready to do this and sleep through the night, and he doesn't need to eat.

definatly don't want to go backwards here.

good luck to all in the sleeping through the night quest!

Does anyone know what the weight is for sleeping thru the night? Since dd is under 9lbs, I don't expect it to happen for us anytime soon :(
