Another sleep poll -- with a twist

[mamaduck]

I want to try to get an idea of how our babies sleep respective to age -- if there is any relationship there. Please vote for hours and age.

[Irishmommy]

8 hours at 6 weeks, up to about 12 hours by 3-4 months, down to 11 hours now (21 months). That's nighttime. She still has a 2-3 hour nap every day.

[PM]

2 years old. 10-12 hours at night. 3-4 hour afternoon nap on weekends and holidays. Once a week will sleep 14 hours because of those missed naps when she goes to afternoon daycare.

Edited because I can't count. Or, to tell the truth, I was too lazy to actually count.

[willibug]

At 14 months, baby sleeps 11-12 hours at night, and averages 1-2 hours total naptime during 2 daytime naps. Night-time sleep is interrupted due to nursing every few hours. Right now, he is teething, and nurses almost constantly!

[Curious]

Irishmommy: so that's how you vacuum.

[ekblad9]

2-4 hours at night. She's 19 months. That's really being generous. Most nights it's an hour and a half, tops! HELP!

[saige]

Saige is 3, and sleeps about 8 hours in a row.Willow is 10 months and NURSES the whole night,except maybe 1 hour.I'd say she's latched pretty much 90% of the night.

[saige]

Oh,and Saige doesnt nap.Willow never naps longer then 1 hour away from me.

[tara]

5 months and he occasionally sleeps for 2-3 hours, but most of the time we're looking at 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Ugh. And, he takes a couple of 30 minute naps daily.

[troymama]

Troy naps during the day, never more than 45 minutes.
He's 10 months old.
At night, I think he sleeps... I'm not sure. I only flip over once or twice a night.

But if I put him down to bed before I go to sleep with him, he wakes up every hour like clockwork. Last night I had to nurse him 3 times to get through a movie -- once before the movie, once in the middle, and then about 15 minutes before it was over I just gave up and went to sleep with him. I wonder how it turned out...

tired

Talah is 15.5 months old and she will take a 1 to 2 hour nap solid sleep . At night I put her down around 8-9 and she will sleep 3 -4 hours solid if I am lucky and then until about 4 every 2 hours maybe?(I am sleeping so I don't really know) and then until 8ish it is like every hour? she is teething now so It is at its worst.

Leena>very tired

[monkeymama]

my ds is six months.....i nurse him to sleep each night around 7:30/8 ish - he sleeps until around 12 or so (occasionally wakes up when i go to bed around 9:30 or 10), then as the night wears on he seems to wake roughly about every two hours. Although lately he has started to be wide awake at three or four in the morning for about an hour or so (UGH!!!) and nursing will not get him back to sleep. He is usually awake for good around 6:30 a.m.

He naps everyday for about 1 or two solid hours (this only started happening about a month ago - for first five months of his life had a very difficult time napping at all - would just nap in the carrier or stroller when i was out with him)

I am a tired mama! I am really looking forward to having even just four solid hours of sleep in a row one day! Sounds like many other here can relate!

[LiminalOne]

Finn (10 mos) will sleep a 3-4 hour stretch at the beginning of the night though also will wake up often til I come to bed. During the day, he takes two naps between 40 mins and 2 hours either in the sling (like right now ) or rarely on the bed (again, he doesn't sleep well withput constant contact).

But it's getting better

[Viola]

I voted for 2-4 hours consecutively and 2-3 years in age.

[isismama]

Eli is a little over 6 months and he sleeps 6 to 7 hours in a row. He started doing this at about 3 and a half months. I just know my second child will wake up every two hours!!

[yoga]

Esaias is 6 weeks old today and sleeps for 4-5 consecutive hours, no nursing, during the pm as long as I'm there when he reaches out to do his bed-check. My other 2 were totally different, though. I don't think there's a correlation btw age and sleep pattern;every kid's different.

But this is interesting information.

[zealsmom]

17 months and usually sleeps 9 to 10 hours (down from 12 hours)at night and 2 hours during the day.

[reesa]

Maia is just about 8 months, goes for about 5-6 hours when she is put down and then wakes about every 3-4 after that for a total of about 11 hours sleep a night. Usually naps for about an hour 3 times a day.

sleep poll

Annalee is almost 16 months and I can't complain and never could with her when compared to how my son was. She Goes down around 8:30- 9 after nursing and usually bouncing around the side-car crib. after that she May wake one or two times up until about 12 wherein I go and offer her binky and/or nurse her if she wants. she will go back to sleep quite easily. She then usually sleeps well through the night, sometimes nursing once or twice every several hours or just sleeping right through ( a lot of times when she's had a bath right before bed). usually sleeps 'till 8:30. I voted for 6-8 hrs. consecutively.
Also, she takes two one hour naps, although I'm wondering if I need to adjust her schedule so that she takes only one.
TRUST Laura

[stinkerbean's mom]

Dakota (9 mos) goes to bed around 8pm. Although tonight she went to bed at 6:30. She wakes every 2 - 2.5 hours, and is up for the day between 6:30 and 7:30am. Lately she is taking 2 naps that range from 30 min to 2 hours--for a total of 1-3 hours of napping.
