[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be such a hard time. Mom of two here and I would say it starts getting a slight rhythm between 8-12 weeks depending on the baby, then it will keep kind of going from there, we sleep trained at 6 months for first and four months for second (babies still fed at night, just did some modified cry it out to help them learn to initiate sleep because both my babies liked to be bounced to sleep until then and it stopped working as well), so it starts getting more predicable then, but really 6 months is a key switch. I know that feel so far away, but it will keep getting a little more predictable (but then yes will change again) and then at 6-7 months when they get on two solid naps you finally can predict that you will put them in their crib at 8:30 and then will nap, put them down around 12:30-1 or whatever. It is glorious.

So yeah I wish I had better news. It does take awhile but though it will be up and down, it will overall get better over the next few months. The newborn period always really rocks me. I find motherhood soo much more enjoyable at 6 months plus. Hang in there.  [/quote]

Agree with this. More rhythm around 3 months for us but definitely much more predictable days around 6 months when we dropped to 2 solid naps. Most babies drop to 2 naps around 6-8 months. And we started solids at 6 months and feel like we were also feeding more on a schedule and less on demand by about 7-8 months. With both sleep and feeding predictable around then, life just felt so much easier.[/quote]
