When will my baby start sleeping through the night?
Night Waking: or, Will I Ever Get A Good Nights Sleep Again?
The answer is no. Once you become a mother, you will never, ever sleep the way you did before you had your baby. Even when he starts sleeping through the night, which will happen eventually (I promise), you will always have your mom radar on and will be listening for a cry in the night. Even if he is a teenager out on a date, you will lie in bed waiting for his car to pull in the driveway before you can fall asleep. When he is middle aged and balding, you will still worry about whether
he is taking care of himself the way he should.The question When will my baby start sleeping through the night? is one that I dread the most. Like most health professionals, I like questions that have easy answers, and this one doesnt. I do have opinions about how to handle sleep problems, based on my experience with nursing six children, and over twenty years of working with new mothers. What I dont have is a quick fix, or a magic solution for you that will make your baby sleep through the night.
Experts cant even agree on what sleeping through the night means. Some define a five- hour stretch as sleeping all night, others define it as an eight to twelve hour stretch. Sleep problems are a hot topic. There are dozens of books and hundreds of magazine articles on how to get your baby to sleep longer. In our culture, a good baby is defined as one who sleeps a lot and demands as little attention as possible. If you define sleep problems the way many experts do, then almost all babies have some sort of sleep problem.
