How long does your LO sleep at night?
How long do they nap?
How many naps?
Do they wake at night or sleep through?
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers?


G sleeps about 12-13 hours at night...but still nurses once or twice...thankfully he's still co-sleeping or I would die.
He still does 2-2hour naps on a day when everything goes as planned but he's flexible and we can skip them when we have to...he stays happy...I don't know how he does it.
I lay down with him but while we were away he fell asleep watching tv with my mom a few nights and he's good about laying down with his dad too now, so we're making progress. He LOVES his sleep and tells me he wants to go to bed all the time. People think I'm a super bad mom I'm sure when we're at Costco or the park and he's begging me for "night night?" over and over again.

How long does your LO sleep at night? Anywhere from 11-12 hours
How long do they nap? 2-3 hours
How many naps? 1x day
Do they wake at night or sleep through? Sleep through
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers? DIY

Vaughn loves his sleep as well, all I have to say is "time for mimis" and he'll start motoring up the stairs and in most cases basically throws himself into his crib like he's soooo glad he made it!! lol But in the event we miss his normal nap type, he'll go with the flow and just nap whenever we get home. So nice he has flexibility with his own internal clock. And gratefully, he can put himself to sleep these days...we just have a bit of love and snuggle before I put him, I leave him with his Gloworm and he's good to go - he'll usually be out, on average, in about 10 minutes.

How long does your LO sleep at night? 11-12 hours
How long do they nap? 45 min-2 hrs, average being about 1 1/2 hrs.
How many naps? If her nap is crappy I try for a second one later in the afternoon so we don't throw off bedtime. Usually just one, though. The second nap is rare.
Do they wake at night or sleep through? Eliza sleeps through, or if she does wake up it's brief and she figures it out on her own in a couple minutes.
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers? I still nurse her down, but it takes no time at all these days. She nurses maybe 5 minutes and I put her down awake. She always rolls into the exact same position on her left side, and sticks her right foot out of the crib. So freaking cute. Sometimes DH puts her down, and she goes to sleep just fine but she squirms in his arms. Not the sweet snuggles that I get. He's so jealous of that!

How long does your LO sleep at night? 11-12 hours, she'd prefer at least 12, but we have to get out in the mornings
How long do they nap? about 2 hours
How many naps? 1
Do they wake at night or sleep through? sleep through
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers? plop her down. Most of the time she tells us it's night night time, or we ask her and she says yes. Then its bath, teeth, jammies, hair, kisses and we lay her down. Some nights she rolls around quietly for up to an hour (we now have a camera and can see this), other nights she falls asleep right away.

LOL Oh my little Colton........

He goes down at 7pm, sleeps till about 9pm. Sometimes 11pm if we are lucky. At which point, he comes into our bed.

Then, he may sleep till 6am, or he may be up 5647 times all night long.

We've tried everything, read every book, talked to doctors, blah blah blah. We gave up... as long as she SLEEPS somewhere, we are fine with him in our bed.

He naps great, same time every day, for 2-3 hours in the afternoon.

Do they wake at night or sleep through? Usually sleeps through, unless she's sick.
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers? I just give her a kiss, say ni-night, and put her down in her crib and turn her Violet music on and leave. She puts herself to sleep.

I am just so excited that at this stage I can say I have a GOOD sleeper!!! We really really struggled with sleep for a long while, and it all falls to pieces when she's teething or sick, but oh to be able to just put her down and know I won't hear her until morning... bliss!! Never thought it would happen.

Ashton is a very good sleeper. He sleeps between 13 and 14 hours at night, puts himself to sleep and doesn't make a peep all night. If he sleeps in, he will have one 2 - 3 hr nap during the day, if he doesnt he will have 2 naps (1hr in morning, 2 hr in afternoon).

Do they wake at night or sleep through? For the most part he sleeps thru unless he's sick or his tummy is bothering him.
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers? I still nurse Colton down for nap and bedtime

We still co-sleep as well. Colton is pretty flexible with his sleep as long as we keep on our schedule most of the time. He also will tell me when he's ready to go "nite nite". And if we're out he will pull my shirt up, sign for 'Milk' and then put his hand over his eye which is his 'sign' for nite nite/tired. It's pretty cute.

How long does your LO sleep at night? ~11-12 hours

How many naps? One, from ~12:30-2:30/3 usually
Do they wake at night or sleep through? Urghhhhh ever since we had teeth followed by being sick, we've struggled to get madam back to sleeping through the night. She's been waking up and awake fro up to 2 hours, and it's driving us NUTS! She's finally started in the last couple of nights getting better again thankfully. Last night when she woke up, I ignored her and she was asleep again within about 15 minutes.
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers? DIY. She likes to sing and talk to her toys, sometimes grizzles a bit, then goes to sleep.

Case in point. It's 12:30am, Zoe's awake for the third or fourth time. She's been awake the last 20-25 minutes, grizzling and calling out mummy mummy mummy. Mummy wants to sleep!

Do they wake at night or sleep through? He usually wakes up for his midnight party. He wakes up, jumps like a wild monkey in his crib, squeals and laughs. I usually have to go in and rock him to calm his crazy butt down! Little stinker.
Do you put them to sleep, or just plop them down and they are DIY sleepers? I do a little rocking just to let him know that it's sleepy time and then I put him in his crib awake. He's usually out pretty quickly after that or sometimes it takes him half an hour-ish.

UGH every time Kate is sick the same thing happens to us. She had a cold, and then for a week was waking up for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night, wanting to play and watch TV. Not. Happy. We just FINALLY got her to sleep through, took me waking her up in the morning and limiting her naps to make sure she was super tired at night. Grrrr.

12 hours through he night
2 hour nap
1 nap a day

If something comes up and nap is pushed back she isn't a melter downer which is really awesome

I'm nursing her down for nap and bed. DH used to be able to rock her to sleep, no problem but somewhere along the way she decided she wanted me to be the one and only.

She doesn't sleep through the night. We aren't even CLOSE to sleeping through the night. Oh, how I long for the day!

Colleen only sleeps about 10 hours a night and gets one 90 min nap per day.

She is still in our bed (ugh) and needs someone to lie down with her to go to sleep. (I can get up after she's out, but she likes to snuggle in close to someone to fall asleep. This is a bad habit that I don't know how I am going to break...)
