[blparent] Nursing and not sleeping through the night.

Wed May 30 13:59:41 UTC 2012

I'd say no.
Mine was bottle fed and she didn't sleep through the night until she got ear tubes.

If you want to test this, have the kid sleep someplace else. If they are in pain and need to suck because that's all they know to do to make the pain go away, it will be impossible to soothe them by some other method.

This is a tough beast because we're all told "babies cry" "babies have trouble sleeping" "babies are stubborn".

So it's tough to know what exactly you're looking at.

I wonder if that has to do with the fact that you're nursing him, Erin.
Gabbie didn't sleep through the night 'til after I weaned her off the
breast. Coincidence?

You ladies are blessed!  My son is 19 months and not sleeping through the
night yet.  It's not horrible though because we co-sleep and he just wakes
me a couple times per night to have a booby snack and we then both fall
asleep right away again.  I think a lot of it is that he's growing so fast
and just can't go through the night without having some sustenance and
that's alright by me.  I know that when he does start sleeping through the
night, there will be a short period of time when I will keep waking on my
own because my body is so used to it.

Hi Bernadetta,

That's great that he's sleeping through the night already. Jacob was about
seven months old before he did that consistently. I think he did it just in
the nick of time to save my sanity (or what little there is of it, anyway).
