I have two kids. After the first 3 months they were sleeping 7-8 hours through the night.



I hope not, three-month-olds are supposed to sleep 14-17 hours a day. Also, what happened when they dropped naps? Night sleep typically worsens right beforehand, as the residual nap pushes their lengthening wake window into night sleep. How did you manage their congestion when they were sick? Many kids, especially those using a pacifier, lose the ability to link their short, 45-minute sleep cycles and need to be comforted throughout the night even into toddlerhood.


7-8 hours at a stretch, there are more hours of sleep that happen on either side of that stretch.

Congestion with those little pipe things that you can used to suck the snot out of the baby’s nose.

We never used a pacifier. The baby slept in the same room and my wife nursed her for three years.


Not all kids are the same. Shocking I know…
