excellent for your sleeptime then! xx

i can't tell you how jealous I am! I'm lucky if Cahal manages 3, let alone 13!!

 

[AugustMum]

Thats fab news!!!

Paige is getting there normally its around 9/10 hours but she managed 11 last night. Now I just need to stop her stirring so much. Shes such a noisy sleeper!!

 

[ERIN84]

Emily does stir but I think I sleep throught that now. She is such a good girl, goes down at half 7 and even if she is awake - she will just put herdelf to sleep.

Inky - Don't worry - cahal will get there soon enough! xxx

I hope you're right....if these bags under my eyes get any bigger I'll be tucking them into my trousers!

Im jealous, even though Cian is quite good, but you know how Emily goes down at half 7, is that it, she just sleeps?
Cian still has a very alert time from about half 8, til half 11, then goes down til about half 8. He just won't give up on his evening play time! Is that bad? He's 9 wks old now

that sounds normal to me to hun ethan didn't sleep through till he was 12wks. You probably start to notice his bedtime will get earlier and earlier xx

 

[lauren86]

i forgot to say Emily xxx

Clever Emily nice when they go alnight and yu know you can relax! Leanne they are all different and will find their own routine he is still young. I found Sarah started dleeping through when we went out two evenings/ afternoons in a row and kept her awake - now she is awake from 4-7pm (her longest stretch) and so is very tired when she goes down x

 

[leanne1b]

Thanks Eva and Lauren. Ah thats good. Im just worried its a bit my fault, be ause hes quite colicky, (I feel so bad saying this) but I quite like him sleeping between about 5 and 7/8ish and this is often when hes bad, so if hes asleep, he cant be screaming?
That sounds terrible doesn't it. I love him so much, but because at this time he cries so much, its like I almost prefer him to sleep... yet when hes asleep I wish he was awake... but happy?
God im an awful mum

[evajo]

No your not lol. Do what suits you, you'll have plenty of time in the future when they HAVE to be in a routine enjoy him now and do what suits you makes perfect sence to me. And believe me i like Sarah in bed before others so i'm not trying to put four to bed at the same time and i like them in bed early so i can have some time to myself as well as tidying up after them!

 

[*Hope*]

luckyyyyyyyyy bugger.

belle does 7pm, goes to bed really well alone. then wakes around 1 or 2 for a feed??

then wakes at 5 which is a killer.

gonna try to up her milk in the day?x

 

[leanne1b]

Yeah I get what you mean about that, Grace is uite

 

[leanne1b]

Yeah I get what you mean about that, my daughter is rather demanding with my time! So at 7pm.. night night x

Yeah, I put her down at half 7 and she is ALWAYS ready for it! I put her in her own room and close the door and she is so content! Everytime I go upstairs to the toilet I check on her. We have the monitor on too of course.

As Evajo says, all babies are different. The night befor Emily slept through, she woke up 3 times! You will find it happens overnight i bet xxx

 

[leanne1b]

Lol, can't wait, but at the same time, think I'll miss him! Im back at uni/on placement now, so I dont get home until half4/5 everyday, and like having that extra time with him as it kills me leaving him everyday when he's so young, but thats just me being slefish isn't it so I guess I'll have to get used to it!
