This is to prove a point

[erniebufflo]

Last night during Etta's horrible night, hubby asserted that *most* almost one year olds sleep all night. I said, HA. Almost no one I know with a baby this age sleeps all night! So, this is not a judgment or bragging or anything kind of post. Help me show him that Etta is not abnormal. Just: does your baby sleep all night, which for the purposes of this post will be defined as an 8 hour stretch of sleep or longer.

Choices are:
All of the time
Most of the time
Some of the time
Rarely
Never

Twin moms can vote twice because I'm cool like that.

ETA: go with what your "norm" is, not cases of teething or sickness. And we won't count just baby waking, but actually requiring intervention from parents to go back to sleep as not STTN.

[dixeedeluxe]

I'd vote twice and include my 2.5 year old if I could! I voted "some of the time".

I voted some of the time. STTN started last night though, so we shall see. Are you talking fully waking and needing to be soothed? Because J will wake and settle himself, but I don't consider that sleeping all night.

[jaime183]

our ped tried to tell us this too. I just nodded and said ok then thought yeah right.

Let's define "up" as requiring parental intervention.

Ok.  Then my answer still stands.

I'm on the app so no clicking but I'm torn between all of the time and most of the time. She reliably STTN but on occasion will be sick, teething etc and on those nights she usually wakes once. We did have an awful night recently where she woke every hour for snot sucking. But usually, 95%+ of the time, she's good until at least 5 am once she goes down at 630-7.

I'd say you're "all of the time." Because the other stuff is anomalies.

[tuck]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck no.

I put her down at 8:30pm.
She is currently on boob (10:30pm).
She will require another boobing between 12-1am.
Then she will wake between 6-7am for another boobing.

She really likes boob, and dislikes sleep.

[monkeybabe]

Ha!

I love you and your operational definitions

[thedahliharpa]

Rarely.

[Deleted]

Never.

ETA: should have been "once."

But since you said "our norm" I'll say never. We just "sleep trained" which means now she's up at 12 and 4 (typically) much better than 10, 12, 2, 4, 6....

[carawestt]

Some of the time. He's still getting up 1-2 times to eat. Lately, it's been once.

[thedahliharpa]

Sometimes may be a better answer, we are in the middle of the sttn spectrum.

[cat19]

I can't click because I'm mobile. I'm going to say rarely. It's a fluke when she does. Generally she'll wake between midnight and two, then comes into bed with me and we flip sides about every hour, hour and a half until 7:30ish.

[creamsiclechica]

I'm with monkeybabe. I voted never, because if we get a two hour stretch, I feel blessed.

Also, both of my sister's boys never STTN by 12 months. Her 17 month old still doesn't, and her oldest (now 3.5) didn't until age 2, despite her best efforts.

[eav2c]

What is this sleep through the night thing you speak of? Never heard of it.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Baby: fucking NEVER, Dr. Bufflo
4 year old: mostly

Sent from my shamcock.

[pippilongstocking]

I realise how lucky we are that he will sleep thought the night (unless he is sick or something). He goes down about 7 and gets up between 6-7.

[imimahoney]

If sickness is not involved then yes, Ari Stan 95% of the time.

[pinkpeony6210]

If Kate is sick, she might wake up and fuss for a bit. Other than that, she STTN.

[spaghetticat]

I always wonder how "real life" compares to here. Some things here seem far more advanced than real life (eating, skills, etc.) but yet this seems like the opposite.

I'm on the app so I can't click, but she sttn for the last glorious week and I thought this was it. Then she was up last night and she didn't want to go back to sleep. She was up once per night for probably the last 6 months or so.

[JuliaGulia]

Alexis slept through the night from 6 weeks to 7 months. Since then she gets up any where from 2-4 times a night. I don't know what the heck happened...

[kandrze1]

I said most of the time because she is usually pretty reliable. Maybe once or twice a month we get a night where she wakes up for some reason around 2am and requires me to rock her or whatever to get back to sleep.

[rjamz]

Yeah, about 98% of the time. There have been two times since we sleep trained that we've had to get up with him, but we're lucky. I wouldn't say that "most" babies around this age I know IRL sleep through the night.

[kkfeb04]

Oh fuck no. My kids don't fucking sleep. DD eats 2-3 times a night. DS didn't STTN until he was switched to a twin bed at 23 months.

And my kids go to bed at fucking 10, last night pushed 11, she just wouldn't go to sleep. They are awake at 7. She was up at 2 and 6 to eat. It also takes a half hour after she's done eating to get her to sleep.

If he's waking and self soothing that is STTN.

[Deleted]

Rarely. He has done it. And he could if I wasn't too tired to sleep train.

But, he gets up twice a night and I'm losing it. Sleep training starts on Wednesday.

[muppetinma]

I would say "all the time." (On the app)
