What was your baby's sleep schedule like at 3 months ?

Our son will be 3 and 1/2 months on Saturday.

Just wondering what other babies sleep schedules were like at this age?

He goes to bed around 9 or 10 pm, wakes up to breastfeed at around 4am. goes straight back to sleep until around 7am, wakes up to eat again and then goes back to sleep until 930 or 10am.

He then will be awake for the day - with a few naps throughout the day. He doesn't have naps at specific times yet. Despite me trying to get him on a nap schedule in the day time - it has not happened yet.

He just sort of takes 20 to 30 minute naps randomly throughout the day... Im hoping those mini naps consolidate into one or two longer naps during the day!

What was your babies sleep like at this age...when did your little one start sleeping through the night? My son is breast fed exclusively so from what I have heard it may take longer for a through the night sleep.

    My daughter is 3 months and is the same as your son! She sleeps from 7pm-7am and wakes up at around 2am for a bottle before going back to bed. She also has really short naps during the day, around 20 minutes to 40 minutes. I think this is why she sleeps so well. Let's hope our luck doesn't run out as I am scared she'll be a nightmare sleeper when she starts teething!

    At that age, my son was still waking up 2 or 3 times a night for a bottle. He would also take several 1 1/2 - 2 hour naps throughout the day. He didn't sleep through the night until he was about 10 months old which was hard. I began to wonder if he ever would. lol It sounds like you are doing good if your little one is only waking up once at 4. I think his little naps will probably consolidate as time goes on. Usually little ones take longer naps.

    He didn't have a schedule. He slept through the night for a bit around 7 months, but teething and crawling came around and he stopped.

    Another month or so you should get a bit of a routine, but it could be closer to 6 months. My 15 mnth old has only slept through the night a handful of times, so dont expect it.

    when my son was 3 months old i had him in bed with me with as i did with my first son. i breastfed on demand both of them. i didn't worry about routines for the first 6months, just let your baby lead you they know what they want just listen to your instinct. they both woke frequently though out the night, about every couple of hours but i just latched them on and went back to sleep, didn't worry about it too much until they were about 6/7 months old. my first son went in his own cot at 6months and slept through straight away, he used to sleep through from 7pm till half 8 in the morning! i was very lucky. my second son is now 8 months and still not sleeping through. he went in his own cot at 7 months and used to wake about every 3hours hes getting better now, sometimes if im lucky he will sleep through. i think the difference is because although i breastfed both my first son got a formula bottle at 7pm every night because i was only 19 and it was my first baby and at the beginning i found it a bit overwhelming as i didn't know what to expect but have always been determind to breastfeed. but this one bottle helped so much. i didn't give my second son a bottle at all until he was 6months old and he still wont take a bottle now i have to spoon feed him formula as i dint have enough milk supply any more to get him through the night. im not saying you should give him a bottle if you dont want to, breast feedings great im so glad ive done it it feels such and achievement to know your the one feeding your baby but it does help being able to take the stress off abit and also means you could get an early night if your partner or family member wants to help out. good luck it will happen one day xx
