What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Jules is 16 months... 7pm-7.30/8.30am depending on if I have work or if I could let her sleep in...

Last night, I decided to see what would happen if I never woke her up from her 4.00 nap-she usually goes down between 2 and 4 for her afternoon nap... I felt terrible, but she missed dinner... She slept from 4-10.30, had a bottle and fell back asleep within minutes until 7.10 this morning.

Andrew (2 years old) has been a 9-9 sleeper since he was about 3 months old. He loves to sleep and also takes a 2 hour nap from about 2-4, give or take. However, lately we've been out and about this summer, so there's been a night or two where he didn't go to bed until 10 p.m. Hey, you only live once!

Lauren (almost 3 months old) is getting into a pattern now. She's down for the night between 9-10 p.m. and wakes up about 7-8 a.m. no on is complaining here.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

robert is 2 and he sleeps from 9-10 naps occasionally but basically 13 hrs a night no matter what time i put him to sleep it can be 7pm-8 as well

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

The lovely Noah is 6.5 months, he takes NO NAPS IN THE DAYTIME. HE IS AWAKE ALL DAY. Sometimes he might catnap in his pram for 15-20 minutes, or sleep in my arms for that long also, but no scheduled naps.

At night he gets his bath at around 6.30 and is asleep by 7.15, he usually sleeps straight through until 7.15/7.30...

saying that, he woke up at 5.50 this morning, so its a craps shoot really!

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Sofia is 6 mos now and has been sleeping thru the night since she was about 3 1/2 mos (with the occasional early am wakeups). Bedtime is between 8-8:30 and she sleeps till about 6am. Takes definitely 2 naps/day (ranging bet 1-3 hrs) and maybe a catnap late in the day.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

DD is 4 months and only takes a few cat naps during the day IF we are lucky! At night she falls asleep anywhere from 9 - 11 pm and wakes every few hours during to nurse

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Jack is 21 months and sleeps for 10 hours a night and takes about a 1.5 hour nap during the day. He is not the best sleeper.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Jacob is 7 months and naps for about an hour in the morning and an hr in the afternoon, he goes to sleep around 8:00/8:30 and still wakes during the night once. It is annoying.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Sydney is almost 5 months... goes to bed by 8 and usually sleeps until 4 or 5 for a feeding and then back to sleep until 6 or 7. Not great but not horrible either. Naps during the day are usually 1/2 hour, but sometimes can take 1-2 hr also, not consistent.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Stephanos is 8.5 mos old and usually takes 2 "big" naps during the day. One at from 10am to 11am. Then another one from 2-4pm. Sometimes he'll nap from 6-630pm too. He's in bed b/w 8-9pm and wakes b/w 7:30-8am.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Emily is almost 10 months and sleeps from about 8:30-6:30. It was later for a while but she's been waking up early again.

She usually takes two 1-2 hour naps throughout the day.

We've been having a lot of problems though for about a week and a half where she wakes up HYSTERICAL in the night and unless we want her crying for an hour and a half we have to take her into bed with us. I'm afraid it is starting to be a pattern. I dont know what is causing it!

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Sydney will be 7 months this week. Her usual pattern is 8-5. Once in a while we are lucky and she sleeps till 6. When she is with me during the day she only takes short catnaps unless we have a long drive to take. At daycare she usually takes 2 one hour naps.

DD is 2 months old and all over the place, no pattern established yet...

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

DS#1 is almost 4 and he goes to sleep at 8pm (sometimes later as a treat for being the big boy) and wakes around 6:30-7:00. He has occasional night terrors but otherwise is a great sleeper.

DD is 2 and goes down around 8pm and wakes around 6:30-7:00. She wakes in the night many nights though. She goes back to sleep without being up too long but does require comforting. She still naps in the afternoon for appx 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

DS #2 is 2 months old and goes to sleep around 8:30-9:30 (10:30? LOL) and sometimes wakes for a bottle 4 hours later, sometimes not. Naps throughout the day

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

DS is 4 months old and goes to bed usually between 6:30-7:30 and sleeps until about 6-7am. Naps are VERY inconsistent!

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Logan is 11 months (can't believe it!) and usually sleeps from 9-9:30 until 8....recently he's been going to bed earlier, like tonight was 7:45...hopefully he doesn't wake any earlier

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

#1 just turned 3 and he sleeps from 8:30ish - 7:30ish. He doesn't nap.

#2 is almost 1 and he sleeps from 8:00 -7:00, plus he takes 2 naps (for now - that 2nd nap will soon be a goner )

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Aidan is 2, and sleeps from 9pm-9am (anywhere from 11-13 hrs no matter when he goes to sleep)

He would love to give up his afternoon nap, and does when we are out and busy but if I put him down in his room he will take one for about 2.5-3hrs in the late afternoon.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Davey is two and has horrible sleeping patterns. He is the energizer bunny and would keep going and going if I didn't force him to go to bed. For example he took no nap today and at 8pm tonight he was running laps around the house. Usually he wakes up around 9pm and the earliest he falls asleep is about 9 or 9:30. I don't know what happened. He used to go to sleep at 8pm and take two hour naps during the day. But since he turned two he gave up the naps and made his bedtime later. I am exhausted! I wish I had half his energy!

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

Jared is almost 14 months. He goes to bed at 7:30-8:00 and wakes up at 9:00.

Re: What are your children's ages and sleep patterns...?

she's 5 weeks, and its a very loose pattern...

I try to put her in "bed" by 9-10 pm, she'll generally sleep for 3-4 hour shifts (sometimes 2hrs, the most ever was 6 hours, but that was a one time deal)

She'll then wake up around 6-7am, and nap again till 9-10am. A nice big 2-3 hour nap between 11 and 3.

The afternoons vary, but she usually takes another big nap from about 6-8/9pm.
