Sleeping 6wk old

[Mummaof2]

Hi,

My DS is a good night sleeper already at 6wks.

Since DS was born he has been a good sleeper. For the first few weeks he was feeding every 4hrs and sleeping in between then at 4wks that changed to 4hrly during the day and would go to bed at 9:30pm and sleep for 5hrs before waking for another feed. And this week since Wednesday his night time sleeps were 6hrs, Thurs night 7hrs, Friday night 6hrs and last night he slept right through.

He doesnt like to sleep much during the day as he is too much of a busy body and likes to know whats going on so he generally has 30min capnaps but i must admit as long as he keeps up the sleeps at night he can continue his daytime capnaps.

Lucky You.

My DD1 was sleeping 8 hours a night at 6 weeks and 10 hours at 8 weeks. By 3 months she was usually down for 12 hours a night. She woudl have 2 one hour sleeps through the day but I was like you if she slept all night she could be awake all day as far as I was concerned.

DD2 was completely different - she didn't sleep more than 6 (maybe 8) hours until she was nearly 5 months. Now she sleeps 12-14 a night and has 2 2-3 hour sleeps a day - she takes after her dad!!

I hope he keeps up his good nighttime sleeps for you - it makes for a very rested mumma!!

Hello!
Aww you are sooo lucky! :p My bub is 8 weeks and we don't really have much of a pattern as yet. He sleeps for 4 hours then feeds, then sleeps again for another maybe 3 hours then feeds. And during the day he sleeps whenever. I don't put a lot of pressure on him to sleep unless he is tired (which I can FINALLY tell now! lol!) and let him sleep when he wants to. So he has a lot of little sleeps during the day. I'm sooooooo tired from the night feeds, OMG! I can't wait until he sleeps through! He did have a sleep through, 10pm till 5am a few days ago. That was the best! Fingers crossed it will happen again!
