For mothers with babies that slept through the night at 8 weeks ?

A Parent asks, What were your babies sleep patterns like during the day? What time did they go to bed at night and rise in the morning?
Did they stay in the routine if you took them out at night?

My son is now 3 months old. He was always asleep by 8pm and woke anytime after 7am.
If i took him out during the night he would cry like he was being murdered. But as soon as i put him to bed he was fine. If his routine did go out of wack he would sleep for around 4-5 hours the next day and then go back to his old routine once again within a few days.
my son has been sleeping through the night (8 hours) since he was 2 weeks old, I cant take credit for this, i dont know how it happened. he makes his own schedule, and hes too stubborn to let me change it, but he always follows a routine something like this, goes to sleep at midnight wakes up between seven and ten in the morn, eats, doesnt stay up long and goes back to bed.sleeps till noon, eats stays up for an hour or so goes back to bed, wakes up around supper eats stays awake most of the evening, takes a fiew 1 hour naps betwen then and midnight eats then sleeps till morn , its almost like they make up for the formula that they miss durring the night by eating more durring the day, and he always is much more awake in the evening and for longer periods, my little girl did the same thing too. but i had her on a schedule, sofar taking him places doesnt throw him off schedule too far, but i could understand how that could happen easily, hope this helps o u should also know that i bottle feed which makes a big difference, and he spitts up realy bad so he sleeps in the swing, they love to sleep in the swing!!! so i know those contribute lot too.
Although it was 4 years ago, I do recall that taking the baby out with me, she remained on her same schedule regardless. The catch was to establish a pattern for her to follow initially. Kids need/and want structure.
During the day, well all day, she would sleep 2 to 3 hours, and would wake up to be changed, fed, and played with. She stayed on this routine pretty much until she was about 3 or 4 months old, after that time, she slept through the night.
Well, basically as a parent that all depends on you. Also you have a new born they sleep alot during the day and night. The only thing you do want to teach your baby is. What’s day from night cause if not you’ll have a night owl. Basically say your day starts at 7am baby wakes up stays up for 2-3 hours falls asleep at 9am-10am 2-3 hours sleeps and wakes up again. This will continue through the day most of the time when the baby wakes up they need a diaper change, hungry, carried or to be played with. Entertain baby as much a possible during the day. You know feed, bath, play, talk, read all that stuff. You set the schedule for your child and continue the same schedule everyday. If lights out is at 730pm do that everyday baby will wake up at night for about the same thing diaper change, hungry and so forth. When baby wakes up at night try not to put on a bright light be sure the light is dim but enough to where you can see what’s going on and what your doing. By doing this your teaching baby the difference between night and day. If you put on a bright light on at night baby might think that its the sun and that its day. So it all depends on what you want most likely try to keep baby up longer in the day but dont force baby to stay up. You are the one to set the schedule.By doing this eventually you’ll know what time baby will wake up, eat, fall asleep, and so forth. Then it will be easier for you to to things during the day or night even if you want to take baby out. Carry on the same schedule so as baby gets older it stays with baby and when it time for school and all that you’ll will have an easier time.
my son has slept thru the night since he was about 6 weeks old. hes now a year and still sleeps thru the night even when we go out. he gets one nap around 1pm and sleeps about 2 to 3 hours and goes to bed around 9:39-10pm every night. he then wakes up around 8 in the morning. hope this helps. good luck with everything and God Bless<3
