He slept how long?

[Koalamom]

Last night I put my baby down to bed at 9pm and he slept till after 4 am. 7 whole houras. I can't believe it! (silly me woke up during the time that he usually woke up even though he was sleeping) I am so used to my dd when she was a babe waking up every 2 hours. I so deserve this. I just don't have time to nap during the day now that my 2.5 yr old stopped taking naps.
Are you mamas getting enough sleep?

We sure are!

Adelaide has slept 5 hours per night since night #2. We had to wake her up to feed her for the longest time. Now, she sleeps from 11 to 4(ish) then sleeps till 7 or so. We make up for it during the day, but I'm sure glad we sleep at night. She doesn't even dirty a diaper at night!

Kingsley usually 7 straight hours a night. Feeling pretty blessed for that!

dd has slept 7 hour since week 1...at least 5 since newborn!!!!

ds nursed 4-6 times a night until 14 mos...he is 2 1/2 now and stopped taking naps 2 mos ago

dr newman told me not to wake her to feed (she was 2 weeks at the time) since she was born at a good weight (8lbs 9.5) and gaining

wish someone would have told me that with ds!!!!

i did not believe that an ebf baby could sleep like that!!!!

I'm green with envy! We are at 2-3 hour stretchs, but I'm thankful that he usually goes right back to sleep after eating. Last night he stayed latched on for two hours (we were side lying), then woke up, ate again, and fell back asleep. That was actually kind of nice!

side lying rocks...doesn't it!!!

especially when i only have to do it once for a few minutes

Finnian sleeps pretty well. Usually 10:30-4am, then back to sleep until 8-9am.

Fiona sleeps in long stretches at night, too--She goes down between 10:30 and 11:30, sleeps until between 6:30 and 8:00, squirms a little, I nurse her, and then she's out for another few hours, usually waking up between 10:00 and 11:00.

My older two--especially my daughter--were the same way. The funny thing is, they both *stopped* sleeping so long through the night at almost exactly 6 months, and continued to wake during the night, at least once a night, for the better part of the next year (stopping when they were around 18 months). So I'm not so naive as to think our night-waking days are over. Still, I'll take it when I can get it.
