[quote=Anonymous]To answer your initial question - yes.  Second child was an awful sleeper.  Up every 45 mins from bedtime and then for the next 3 to 4 hours.  And then would sleep 2 to 3 hours max at a time after that.  We did not sleep train.  I simply got up every time, nursed him back to sleep for 5 mins and then went back to bed.  Around 8 months he stopped the every 45 min wakeups and would sleep 2 to 3 hours at a time.  He did not sleep through the entire night until he was 14 months old.  We never co slept with the exception of when he would wake between 5 and 6 am, I would take him back to bed with me so I could go back to sleep until 7 or so.

After that 14 month point he slept fine.  We had a phase around 3 years old where he would magically appear in our bed around 3 or 4 am and we just made room and let him sleep there.  He quit doing it after a couple months.

He is 10 now.  Goes to bed fine alone and sleeps for around 10 hours a night.

So there was no special solution that fixed his sleep.  Just time.[/quote]
