[quote=Anonymous]Some babies will naturally sleep 12 hours at 12 weeks, but most don't. Mine slept 10-11 hours and here's our secret: She was one of those babies who just did it on her own. We did the normal stuff, like make sure she got enough naps in during the day, and prioritized timely naps and bedtime, but LOTS of people do that and don't have a baby that sleeps for such long stretches. I also didn't try to enforce any kind of a feeding schedule, though she cluster fed at various points throughout the day, sometims drinking 2-3 ounces, then a couple more ounces a half hour later. I really think that trying to force a feeding schedule on her would have just made things worse. I know someone who did babywise, whose baby didn't sleep through the night for a really long time...she had the poor kid on a four hour schedule (breastfed) - I thought, how on earth do you expect her to get through the night on a full stomach if you won't feed her during the day? Ugh. [/quote]
