I know this is a very old post, but I’m sure that people still look at the answers, as it is such a hot topic with mums (hence me opening the old thread!). My first did not sleep through for years, and was still waking 4 or 5 times a night at 2 and a half. I think my second is going to be exactly the same… At the moment he wakes 3 or 4 times on a good night.

My daughter didn’t sleep through the night until she was 12 months old. And that was after seeing a sleep consultant.
My son is currently 11 months old and up once or twice a night for a feed.

my 11 month old is up 4 times, hes bf

all bubs are different. were you breast feeding mine is up 6 times a night. im at my wits end though and introducing some rules~

Mine slept through from a couple of months old.
But if they are I can get up 2-3 times.

You’re not doing anything wrong. My eldest son was 2 when he completely stopped waking at night. His growth charts were in the 95% so he needed the top up feed overnight. My 1yo occasionally sleeps through but will wake every 4hrs during a growth spurt. As long as they’re warm enough & taking a full feed (not snacking) at night then they need it.

I honestly think that sometimes mums are known to embellish the truth when it comes to sleep and their children But there are kids out there that do sleep through – mine just happened to be toddlers and weaned when that happened.

Every child is different, my eldest is 5 and only just started sleeping through the night but my 2 year old was sleeping through from 6months old and before then would sleep through some nights.

You won’t be doing anything wrong each child is different and I’m sure when some say they slept through I still think they forget about the 3am wake up feed lol.
You and your child will get into a routine when your both ready.

My baby wakes up about twice a night, she is 6 months old. From 3 weeks old she was sleeping through the night, it was fantastic and then all of a sudden just before 5 months she started waking. I didn’t do anything differently, she just became more active and aware. I try to think of it positively, she’s a happy little girl, growing really well and is very active, I cant be doing anything too wrong!

NO!!!My first 2 children slept through from 6 weeks. My third child is 9 months and still wakes up.once or twice. i give her a bottle the 1st time and the second time i bring her to bed.
My first 2 children were not breast fed, but my 3rd was until 6 months. I do believe this habit is contributed from the regular bfs she used to have.
