how's this for an old wive's tale...

[ozzysmum]

i was told recently that babies born during regular sleeping hours (ie. 10pm-6am) are terrible sleepers and babies born during awake hours are good sleepers. I figured it was just my friend trying to make me feel better about ozzy's inability to sleep through the night until i started asking other mums about it. I have asked about 15 mums with about 20 kids of various ages between them and so far it's been completely 100% acurate :eek:
so in the interest of research, i thought i'd ask all you fine ladies and gents: born at night, won't sleep tight or born during the day, sleeps all the way???
:)

DD was born at 9:10pm and has been sleeping thru the night since she was about 4mths old.

[Starlet]

DS1 was born at 6.15pm and has been a great sleeper.

DS2 was born at noon and at 2 1/2 years old, he is still waking about twice a night!

[ozzysmum]

looks fairly random so far, only a slight bias towards the theory! for the record, ozzy was born at 1.03 a.m. and, as anyone who has read any of my posts knows, is an absolutely deplorable sleeper! good thing he's so cute and charming when he's awake :D

[SnoozesWithCats]

I've got one of each - one born around 1pm, the other 11pm ... they've both been pretty similar in their nighttimes (started off good, got shocking around 6 months, then recovered)

I'm afraid I'm no help for your theory at all!

[Bubble*Crazy]

DD was born at 1.38pm and DS 5.28pm and both are great sleeps and slept thru from around 2 months.

[Grizabella]

[leebeeag]

ds1 was born 5.54pm and slept well from 6wk,but ds2 born 8.30am has always slept badly and still does.

[AquaDevil78]

I was born at 2:20pm and mum says i slept right through every night :thumbsup: Hoepfully mine is the same :fingerscrossed: hehee.

I cant remember what it is called, but there is some term for it, being the reason as to why if a baby is born at night, it will sleep thru and when older is not a "morning person"

I am not a morning person and myself and my friends had this discussion a few years back and we came to the conclusion it must be somewhat true as everyone born afterrnoon/evening and night is the same as me.. maybe coincedence...

If i only i could remember the term for it... damn maternal sleep , or .. meh cant remember .. sorry

[ozzysmum]

it'd be something to do with those circadian rhythms or whatever they are, i reckon. i was born at 3am and was a shocking sleeper and am still way more of a night owl than a morning person, despite ozzy making me get up between 5 and 6 every day to start the day!

[Melo]

DS was born at 11:27pm and is a TERRIBLE sleeper.

[Percy]

DS was born at 3.50am, and is a shocking sleeper:sleeping:

[reAllytee]

Boof was born at 4.45pm & was a horrible horrible sleeper nite & day for the first 6mths then he got into a rhythm & its been plain sailing with the occassional nite here & there or when we were dropping a sleep was always hell too !

[Illusional]

Id disagree - my first was born at 3am.. and she was the best sleeper of them all..
the other two were born at 730pm and 930pm and hardly ever slept at night.
I was often up until 11pm trying to get them down for the night, and even then they'd be awake at least 4 times before morning.

[bigglet]

My dear little one was born at 01.55am and for the first 5 days or so had her nights and days mixed up - she slept longer during the day and was awake during the night but when I got home I made sure that when she napped during the day it was with the curtains open (so sunlight was in the room) and I was never quiet during the day.

By 6 weeks she slept through the night!! And so did I for the first time in more than a year!!!!! :thumbsup:

[EskimoMumma]

DS was born bright and early in the morning, terrible sleeper BF, once bottle-fed he was great. DD was born at 2.16pm, and she is a great sleeper (shes had a few odd nights off, but she regularly sleeps through) :thumbsup:

i was told recently that babies born during regular sleeping hours (ie. 10pm-6am) are terrible sleepers and babies born during awake hours are good sleepers.
