[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I am seriously the exception, but my DS started sleeping 10pm-5 or 6am at 8 weeks without waking for a feed. When it was clear that this was a pattern, I started putting him down at 9 and he slept until 7. We are now at 8:30pm-7:30am and he will be 12 weeks tomorrow. He only awakened a couple of times in the first couple of weeks of showing this sleeping pattern and I fed him. Once I realized it wasn't hunger and he could go through the night, I soothed him briefly on the rare chance he woke up and he went right back to sleep. I do still swaddle him, so I think there may be some adjusting to get him to sleep without out here in the next couple of weeks. This pattern change did occur once I started feeding him fewer bottles of BM (I EP due to feed issues) with more in each one. OP - I say there is no time like the present! [/quote]

Get back to us after the 4 month sleep regression, when his true sleep habits come out. You can't judge at 12 weeks. [/quote]

+1. DD was a GREAT sleeper until the 4 mo sleep regression hit. Went from sleeping 10 hours in a stretch to up every 2.[/quote]

Ha!  Was just about to write the same thing as the two responders above.  Don't jinx yourself![/quote]

PP here - Nice!!! I hope I didn't jinx myself!!!! How long did it take those who had the 4 mo regression to get things back on track? [/quote]

She was officially IN the 4 month sleep regression for about 3 weeks (waking up every 4 hours or so).  And then she went to waking up once a night for the next week - until she went back to sleeping through the night.  I learned a very valuable lesson there....never talk about what a great sleeper my child is (9 month and 18 month sleep regressions also killed me).[/quote]
