My kids have set their own routine from quite young from around 7pm my current 10 month old cries if she's not in her pj's and then wants her milk. She has about 20 mins after her milk then goes to bed and don't hear from her until 7am. My 3 year old was the same and still sleeps well unless poorly.

Never did sleep training. We have found our routine. It isn’t the norm at all but works. At 7:30 she gets her bottle while Lyijg in her horseshoe cushion on the sofa. She finishes it and says Tata and we take it from her and roll her onto her side and she goes to sleep. Then about ten minutes later, we take her to her room. She sleeps through (minus a few regression stages). It’s not everyone’s cup of tea and I don’t know how we will transition when she’s off her bottle (it’s her only one) but we will figure that out eventually

My little girl has slept through the night since 13 weeks old, we've never had a set routine, her naps and wake windows are different every day as well as her bed time and she wakes at varying times every morning. The only consistency is the fact she sleeps 11 hours every night.

My girl has always been a pretty bad sleeper with at least 6 wakes . However since she turned around 14 months she sleeps much better , on average probs only wakes once at around 2 and sometimes at sunrise but lays in till 9ish - just to add we never sleep trained

Not sleep trained. He doesn't sleep through the night every night and I don't feel that he should at this age either.

No sleep training, finally sleeps 8-5 no issues and will fall back asleep on his own after a 5am cuddle. Took until he was 2 though and started daycare

Never sleep trained, she’s not the greatest of sleepers but we’re getting there slowly but surly … MIL said her dad was the same & my daughter & her dad are basically the same person

Children naturally will sleep through the night on their own. Sleep training is not needed.

My 3 year old still does not sleep through the night. I thought it would have happened naturally by now.

(Neither does my 8 month old.)

Never sleep trained, 90% of the time he is still cuddled to sleep!! But sleeps from around 7pm to just after 6am. Will happily lay in his crib until almost 7am

Yes, not all nights but most nights but it's taken until him nearly turning three years to get here. And he only sleeps through if he is in our bed.

I’ve always kind of followed my sons que’s and routine. He isn’t a PERFECT sleeper 5 out of 7 days a week he’ll sleep through, but the other 2 days a week he may wake up/stir around 1/2am ish. Then every so often he will go through a regression and have a few rough nights. But over all he’s a pretty good sleeper and sleeps from 7:30/8pm right through to around 6:30-7am.

We do dinner at 5, followed by a little play then bath and a story then he has milk around 7:30pm and falls asleep with it.

He’s never needed cuddled/rocked to sleep or me to be there, which I’m quite thankful for but I do think once I get rid of his bedtime milk and dummy, I may be in trouble 😅

Autism

I have been noticing everyone I know that as a boy 2-5 years has been diagnosed with autism. Has anyone else noticed this or maybe I’m just noticing this out of concern for my 10 month old boy.

How often is your baby waking up in the night?

My baby is 5 months old and waking up every 3 hours. Some nights he could do a 4 hour stretch and some he would do just 2. It’s a bit all over the place to be honest. Is it normal for so many wake ups at this age? What is everyone else’s baby doing?

How do you cosleep?

I know all about sleep safe 7, the dangers of cosleeping etc etc, but there seems to be a huge difference between online and people I meet in real life. Most people I know report cosleeping, but online its villainised more.
No judgement here - I'm just genuinely curious what people are actually doing!

Comments if its something different.

Our baby has her own cot. She sleeps well in it until early morning and then only sleeps if shes on/next to me. I'll also admit to having fallen asleep breastfeeding several times (no lectures, she's safe - but other people have said they've done the same).

Swing or bassinet

We've been co-sleeping/bed-sharing with our one month old (5 weeks tomorrow) since she and I came home from the hospital. While I love the cuddles I do want our bed back too. I will add too, that we try to make it as safe as possible and want her in a safe situation. She doesn't like sleeping by herself, however we've been putting her in her swing (pic below) close to daily, since she came home and at first she only liked it for a few minutes, now it could be an hour, before she protests, asleep or awake! She likes the music and rocking motion it seems and seems fascinated by the mobile when she's awake and not sleepy. We can probably get her used to the bassinet in a similar way, but I'm wondering if we should just get two of these? My husband says the music would drive him crazy, lol, but we could just do it with white noise and see if it has the same effect. He's saying it's probably good for her to learn how to sleep in different conditions. I do agree, as our older daughter can't take naps at friends' houses and stuff. Just not sure of the best route here. Anyway tia!
