When did your baby start sleeping through the night?

I don't really remember with my son, but my daughter was still waking up once a night until she was around 6 months old. There were a few nights when we woke up still, but not many.

you could try a heavier meal for the little one at bed time! Like oatmeal or something that will stay with them a little longer then just the bottle! This what I use to do. It did help a lot!

You have to fill him with some baby food before his bed time say one hour or before his bed time so that he is fill and dont need milk in between the night and you can also sleep happily.. i guess a 7 months old can have baby food.. ask your docotor if you havent stated to feed him any kinda baby food

My son was about 4 months old when he started sleeping through the night my daughter started sleeping through the night at about 2 months. I found feeding them right before they go to bed helps to keep them full so they don't wake up as easily.

The only one of my children that has ever slept through the night from a young age is my eldest. He slept through the night from the moment he was born! My next two boys were evil, they did not know what the word sleep meant, and did not sleep through the night completely until they were past three years old. My daughter has been a mixture really, she slept through the night from being a very small baby and then she hit 1 and that was it she just turned into a nightmare. Waking up at midnight and then not going back to sleep until gone 2 or 3 in a morning, I was shattered and she did this until about May of this year! She still wakes up in the night, but is not too bad now, it is really hard when they wont sleep, it just takes all the fun out of everything.

This post helped a lot. My daughter is only 3 weeks old and she just doesn't sleep at night. She will sleep all day long but once we try to sleep, she's awake again. I'm so exhausted and I'm just wishing that hopefully more sleep comes soon. 3 months, can't wait until you come!!

I have two kids the oldest is 13 and he still does not sleep through the night, I hear him in and out of his room in the middle of the night all the time even when he was a baby he would not sleep all night. My other son is almost 3 now and he is not even sleeping through the night he is up atleast once or twice in the night. I wish they would sleep all night but they like me can't sleep at night I guess. Good Luck!!

My kids sleeps well at night when they reached one year old. But during the times when they are still months old, it is really terrible for me. Because they are sleeping oddly when it comes to hours.

I only have one child and was very lucky she was 4 months old and sleeping through the night. WOW 6 weeks old with your twins, that is awesome. I have heard some kids just get in a routine and he may not even be hungary just is use to getting a bottle at that time. Maybe give him a little more before bed time and at night when he wakes up a little less. Do it for awhile until he doesn't need a bottle at all. Good luck.

I have two kids, and they started sleeping through the night at different times. My daughter was about 6 weeks, and I'm not quite for certain with my son. I think he was about 9 - 12 months. I know that sounds bad, not to remember, but I think I was more relieved that he started sleeping through the night to remember. lol

I think it was almost instantly. He slept on dads chest for the first month - dad stayed up at night while I slept hehe - but i think it was basically since day 1 I dont know if there is anything you can do to make them sleep, I know the sound of a heartbeat helps a lot

Firstly make sure that your baby gets all the feeds he needs during the day, this gives you the peace of mind that nutritionally he doesnt need anymore! His body will be programmed that food at this time is perfectly normal so its a case of retraining his brain. I know that sounds extreme but e.g if you give him water when he wakes rather than milk his appetite at this time will decrease. Tempting as it might be try sticking to this and it should only take2-3 nights, 5 nights max. Let me know how you get on. XXXX
