Let's talk about sleep

1) where does/did your baby sleep? In your room, separate room, pack and play, bedshare?

Crib in her own room. She slept in the RnP next to our bed until 6 weeks. Then RnP in her own room until 5.5 months.

2) when did they sleep thru the night? And I mean go to bed at night and wake up in the morning?

STTN starting at 1 month. (at least 8 straight hours of sleep). She is a rock star sleeper. I got so lucky.

3) Did you do any sleep training?

No

4) Best sleep tip?
Putting her in her own room was the best thing for us because all 3 of us where waking each other up all night.

DD hasn't wanted to snuggle/sleep on us/with us without a fit since she was like 6 weeks old. I get sad about it, but I think she just knew how she wanted to sleep.

So,
1) where does/did your baby sleep? In your room, separate room, pack and play, bedshare? Slept in a bassinet next to the bed for 3 months (she didn't like bed sharing) and then her crib.

2) when did they sleep thru the night? And I mean go to bed at night and wake up in the morning? She started going 10 hours around 10 weeks and then had a huge setback around 4 months and only STTN on and off on occasion until she was 7.5m and we sleep trained and she STTN unless she's sick.

3) Did you do any sleep training? Yes, CIO at 7.5m - it took 20 minutes.

4) Best sleep tip? Don't let other people shame you about the choices you make (unless you're CIO at 4 weeks, then you should be ashamed).

1) Where does/did baby sleep? In a pack n play next to our bed for the first 3-4 months. After that we put them down in their cribs, but they were/are usually in our bed by morning.

2) When did they sleep thru the night? Our first was STTN maybe 50-75% of the time around 12 months. Our second is 25 months and STTN maybe half the time. He did not STTN at all until 16 months or so.

3) Sleep training? No.

4) Best sleep tip? You do not want tips from me--see answers 2 and 3.

1) where does/did your baby sleep? In your room, separate room, pack and play, bedshare? He was in his crib the first few weeks after we got home from the hospital. Then he was diagnosed with reflux and he slept in the RNP next to our bed until 3mos. The incline helped him sleep better. After that, we put him in a bassinet (still next to our bed) and moved him to his crib by 4mos.

2) when did they sleep thru the night? And I mean go to bed at night and wake up in the morning? By 3mos. He's always been an amazing sleeper though.

3) Did you do any sleep training? Yes, we did CIO at 7+ mos. Travel over the holidays plus ear infections and RSV plus teething really messed up his sleep patterns. Poor kid had no idea what to do at that point. Thankfully, he learned quickly and he only regresses when we travel or have grandparents visit for weeks at a time

4) Best sleep tip? Do what works for you and the baby. Everyone is different.

1) where does/did your baby sleep? In your room, separate room, pack and play, bedshare? --In our room in her crib. But we've bought a new house, so she'll get her own room starting next month!

2) when did they sleep thru the night? And I mean go to bed at night and wake up in the morning? --She started STTN around 7 weeks. Some nights she'll go from 8-6, other nights she'll wake up at 1am to eat.

3) Did you do any sleep training? --Nope

4) Best sleep tip? --Having a routine helped us

1) where does/did your baby sleep? In your room, separate room, pack and play, bedshare? For the first two weeks, we slept in DS's room on a blow-up mattress and they slept together in one crib. When that wasn't working, we put two cosleepers in our bedroom sidecar'd to our bed, and slept in the "mothership" until they were 4 months. We then transitioned them to their own cribs in their own rooms.

2) when did they sleep thru the night? And I mean go to bed at night and wake up in the morning? 8 months

3) Did you do any sleep training? We followed HSHHC, and did some Ferber CIO, but I'm not sure if that helped them STTN or if it was just a maturity thing.

4) Best sleep tip? Early bedtimes. I swear by an early bedtime for our kids b/c they need the sleep and DH and I need the alone time. It really has saved us.

1) where does/did your baby sleep? In your room, separate room, pack and play, bedshare?
Separate room in a crib generally, although we bedshare on occasion (if I'm utterly exhausted)

2) when did they sleep thru the night? And I mean go to bed at night and wake up in the morning? My oldest didn't consistently sleep through the night until she was 3.5 years. Yes years. She would STTN a couple nights a week until then. My middle DD started consistently STTN at 14 months, but then went back to waking once or twice a night at about 2y3m. She is 3 and back to mostly STTN. DS is only 6 months ane not STTN yet.

3) Did you do any sleep training? No, not really. I attempted to night wean middle DD, but stopped after a couple nights because it was too hard and it was just easier to nurse her in the night. I did make sure my second two kids started developing healthy sleep habits early on though like consistent bedtimes and routines, avoiding over tiredness, and the ability to fall asleep by themselves in the crib.

4) Best sleep tip? Nothing is forever, they will change it up on you often. Just roll with the punches and know eventually they will sleep really well.
