joyfulhomeschooler Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'm talking the stage where they can sleep through ANY noise and you have to literally do everything to keep them awake for feedings? I thought it lasted until about 2 months but this new baby stopped being a good sleeper at about 3 weeks and I am wondering if my memory is off from being so sleepy myself :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabrizia Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I think it depends on the baby, for my three they were past this stage within 48 hours or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I think it depends on the baby, for my three they were past this stage within 48 hours or so. :iagree:, Actually, that was true for my son. My daughter NEVER had the "newborn sleepy" phase. She was awake 20 hours total, out of her first 24. Nursed for most of them. She never was/isn't a great sleeper.

Dory Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The only baby I had that with was my daughter and she was early and pretty jaundiced. I ended up going back to the hospital with her. My other two babies fell into a routine within a couple days. My youngest was a super light sleeper which wasn't fun with two other kids in the house, and he was super alert. In fact, he still is.

Kathryn Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I think it depends on the baby, for my three they were past this stage within 48 hours or so. :iagree: though it was worse with ODS. He would wake for any noise in the house. We tiptoed around like burglars once he went to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 What is this strange phenomenon of which you speak? I've raised 3 babies and never had any such thing! :iagree: with PP. With my first baby, I went to the garage to pump breastmilk. TO THE GARAGE! Because that noise could not be inside the house or dd would instantly wake up.

I guess every baby is different. I know one poster mentioned her baby being early and jaundiced that had this stage. Maybe that is why all my babies have done this. They have all been early and jaundiced. Funny thing is though this baby was the earliest and most jaundiced out of them all. I feel like he NEVER sleeps. Like the other poster said, awake 20 hours a day and for most of that he is crying :( He is our unhappiest baby we've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDRAD Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Just had our fourth and he's the only one that slept through anything. Only lasted about two weeks. I actually thought there was something wrong with him. He slept through motorcycles revving their engines in parking garages and everything. My other kids were never like that! He is now a light sleeper at four months. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 My kids are all heavy sleepers and have been since they were babies. However, they aren't necessarily long sleepers and didn't really fall asleep during the bottle except maybe at night. THey all started sleeping through the night by about three weeks old.

Hoot Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 DS13 was an amazing sleeper. He was born 5 weeks early and jaundiced and he could sleep through anything. He slept hours and hours on end for the first couple of months. Within the first week he had gotten himself on a schedule and slept through the night. He still had occasional bouts where he would wake up once during the night to eat but more often than not, it was just me waking up to CHECK on him. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganCupcake Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think my babies passed that stage in utero. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT with this one though lol My other three did exactly what yours did but then they started waking again at around 5 months old. This little guy is a whole new thing for me.

nukeswife Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 my oldest is 13 and never outgrew it:001_huh: He's always been able to sleep through anything, I've had workmen here banging away, sawing, etc and he's slept through it all.

raceNzanesmom Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Both of mine were about 3, maybe 4 weeks, but they were both 6 weeks early. A full term baby probably isn't as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
