Sleeping too long?!

taperjeangirl · Nov 23rd, 2008, 09:58 AM

Hi girls!

Just a question really....

Daisy sleeps through the night from around 12am to 8:30am this must sound like heaven! But I find that the longer she sleeps at night the grumpier she is right through the day.
I'm starting to think that getting up through the night was easier!

Does any of your LO's do this? I am thinking about waking her up earlier just to see but don't want to disturb her at the risk it may be worse! Or maybe waking her in the middle of the night for a couple of oz's just so she isn't so hungry in the morning...

Any advice would be much appreciated!

I dont think it is a problem, if she was hungry she would wake up. As they get older their bodies start storing food better, like adults, so they start eating more during the day and less at night.

My friend said her lo was sleeping through the night at 2 months too

Hebe's slept thru from 11pm - 7am ish since about 2/3 weeks. She's awake most of the day too. I wouldnt wake her but I suppose if you think its making her grumpy you could try it. You might regret it tho!!

Wow... im jealous Mervs mum! lol Longest Jasmine has slept is 4.5 hours and it was pure fluke.

Tegan sleeps from 7-7 and we dreamfeed her at 10pm so she doesn't wake up screaming

Thats about the only advice I have, because I don't think Tegan knows how to be grumpy lol. Good luck

I'll enjoy it while it lasts!!! She's only woken for a feed twice in the night since - once when I'd topped her up with a bottle and she puked it everywhere so I think she got hungry sooner and the other time during what I think was a growth spurt. We are lucky ATM but I dont gloat coz I know babies like to throw you a curve ball every so often!!! x

Helena sleeps from midnight until about 9 am but she wakes up (barely...she kind of sleep eats) at 2 and at 5 for a small feed.

Lola is the same age and she sleeps from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m.,wakes up and then back to sleep till 7 a.m.

Hmm,I wouldn't try waking her...it seems as you have yourself in a nice night routine.
