Mamas that didn’t sleep train, when did your LO start to sleep on their own and through the night, on their own?

Curious too. My baby needs to be nursed to sleep at 8 months and we co sleep

I just voted to see results

When I stopped nursing him at night to start preparing for my twins who I was then pregnant with to nurse - & he was 18 months

But my twins are past the 18 month mark they’re still nursing though the night and they don’t sleep though the night

About 18-20 months 😅

I’m currently at 9 months with co sleeping in the room - my LO is getting up 3-4 times a night - we have a consistent bedtime routine for months, dark room, white noise, cool room - but to no avail My husband thinks it’s best we consider sleep training since she doesn’t technically need night time feeds I would prefer not to but I’ve been hearing stories of babies bed sharing until 7 years old when they haven’t been sleep trained

Really really early, before 3 months and that’s why I didn’t sleep train. However she does go through her phases especially when she’s teething or just developmental regression. I did nothing special it’s just what my baby decided to do. I’m pregnant with baby no2 and they could be completely different

@Chí congrats!! did you ever let your baby fall asleep while you held her or would you put her down immediately when you noticed she’s starting to drift off?? My friend did this and her LO was sleeping 6-8 hours from 2 months

Thank you! I don’t really remember what I did earlier on as she’s now 13 months but i think I mainly put her down and let her drift off. *hubby and I did let her fall asleep on us sometimes, but we usually put her down asap* (just remembered) Shes very good at self soothing. That’s one thing I can say “I did” She’s a toddler now I guess and I just put her in bed when I can tell she tired (usually around the same time daily) and she’ll drift off yes.

18m he started sleeping a straight 8-10hrs. He’s been doing that for years he’s now 5, (now it’s more 10-12hrs) was a rough 18m but he didn’t ever wake up and stay awake, he woke up had his bf and drifted off every time so that’s why I didn’t rush him to sleep through. He did wake for feeds but he didn’t KEEP me up, if that makes sense I’ll put him on boob and we both nod off and he’ll stop feeding while I’m asleep. I figure he’ll sleep through when he’s ready and he was ready around 18m

We started out bedsharing / cosleeping since night one. My son started putting himself down for his own naps at around 14-16months old, started asking to sleep in his own bed around 21 months, and he’ll stay in his bed til around 4/5am then come join me in the big bed (:

Slept through when cosleeping at 17 months Moved to his own room at 2 Started sleeping through in his own room at 3 (sometimes) and all the time by 4.

I think it's pot luck with us. We've tried to put my little bot down half asleep, drowsy and fully asleep and his sleep hasn't changed. I think he'll get there when he does. However had maybe 5 full night sleeps and we co sleep now. And me or my husband sleep in a different room (only 1 will co sleep in our bed at a time). Also my husband snores and he is annoying to sleep with. Some days he will fall asleep in he is put in his cot but more often than not he needs some cuddles before. It's hard some nights but I'm one and done so I'm just going to enjoy the broken nights sleep and the extra cuddles. Also before either get hate I am a really light sleeper and we sage co sleep and he is 13 months old usually 2 wake ups but up 7 on a bad night

I didn't sleep training any of my 3. Oldest was around 12.5 months Twin A around 5.5 months Twin B around 13 months

My baby started sleeping longer stretches at around 6 weeks, upto 6 hours and then at 13 weeks she slept through 13 hours and has slept 10-12 hours every night since then with the exception of when she's not feeling very well, she hasn't gone through any regressions either. When she was a newborn we would lay her in her moses basket/next to me whenever we where pottering around doing stuff and sometimes she would fall asleep, for bed time we have always put her down awake and she goes off to sleep herself, there is the odd occasion where she needs a little something extra from us but it's usually just a few minutes cuddle and she's good. We contacted napped for all-day naps until she was 7 months old as she only napped for a maximum of 35 minutes, so it was just more convenient. Honestly it's all just luck with babies, my baby isn't much for cuddles at all at the moment either so even when she's awake she would rather we didn't hold her for very long as she just wants to explore.

Ooh I think she first did it around 15 months but definitely not consistently. Was a CMPA/silent reflux/colic baby so we had no chance! Fully embraced co sleeping when necessary though. Over 3 now and she asks to sleep in her own room 🥹 Always welcome in ours though!

17 months old and sleeps through most of the night since I night weaned him about a month ago. He does sometimes wakes up once or twice for a cuddle.

@Chí love that for you !

After 2 years you experience a great different I can tell you

Less than 1 year but between 1 and 2 there was a good stretch of time when he would wake ince a night. Its finally becoming less frequent now

14mo in and still a lot of wakes

Slept through consistently since about 10 weeks. Major blip from 7-9 months with bad tummy bug, followed by regressions and learning to pull up to standing and walk. Since then unless she’s been ill or teething consistently sleeps through. Never sleep trained and until 16 months cuddled to sleep for every nap and bedtime.

10 months, as soon as he started having a bottle before bed instead of boob

I didn't sleep train at all but baby started sleeping through on his own at around 10 weeks old and has slept through ever since (he is nearly 1) x

My daughter is 27 months and is starting to sleep more through the night, I think it's partly bc I nursed her for so long. Starting to wean a few nights ago. I do think it's a good idea to wait a few minutes before responding. Sometimes my daughter cries in her sleep or sleep talks and when I would pick her up to comfort her I unknowingly woke her up and she would be upset. If I don't go to her fast, sometimes she'll go back to sleep within seconds.

We bedshared from day 1 and i always supported my daughter back to sleep. At 20months she told me she wanted to sleep in her own room on her floorbed. She started sleeping longer stretches then … 5-7 hours + 2 + 2. we haven’t night weaned yet, so i anticipate that once that happens, her sleep may change again. We still help her back to sleep when she calls out at night, by rocking or nursing. I feel more rested so really thats all that matters to me lol

My LG has slept through since two weeks old. I don’t know why or how she managed to do it from so early on! We have never sleep trained her as a result of this! I would’ve definitely considered sleep training by now if she was waking up multiple times a night (she’s almost 5 months old now) x

Through the night and by himself was a couple days after he turned 2. But he has been able to manage his own need for sleep since about 9-10 months when he started coming to me regardless of what I was doing for boob and would go to sleep.

I would say "started" around 3 months but it wasn't necessarily 100%. Two months or so was around the first time I noticed it. But we still have regressions and teething and growth spurts. But on a whole she just started doing it naturally on her own and has always been a great sleeper. I think it comes down to temperment.
